How not to be scared of wearing overshirt?
I like overshirts and they always look cool on people and I wanna wear them. I feel exposed when wearing them considering that I can see my own cleavage and maybe my nipples too(I hate it being shown LOL and it's been the case with my innerwear unless I wear something over it) and that makes me anxious. I'm not insecure about my body but exposing my cleavage or nips is out of my comfort zone unless I'm going to the pool or something lol. If there are any suggestions for better innerwear or something that doesn't expose me. Thank you for the advice.

Can you define overshirt in the context of your question? My idea of an overshirt is a sort of shirt jacket, usually heavier than a regular button down, but lighter than a jacket—from this question I think that I may be thinking of the wrong thing
Also am I reading this right that you’re uncomfortable because you can see your own cleavage or because you’re worried other people can see?
Something like this. Since my singlets/tank top usually expose down to my top of my chest area.
is a tshirt not an option?
That’s more of just a button down shirt that’s not buttoned
You could button it? That’s an option
My honest advice, and the advice I give to most folks that are uncomfortable wearing something more because of their body than the item: I think you have to look inward on this one, homie
Other option would be a higher necked under shirt
Crewneck, turtleneck, mockneck, etc
I wanna try the unbuttoned ones but thank you. I will try out these different kinds of inner shirts. Thank you.
Look inward means?
To answer the root of your q: no one here is gonna be able to teach you how to not be scared of doing something. If you’re scared it’s inherently out of your comfort zone, which is okay. But if you wanna step outta that zone, that’s on you. The confidence is there you just gotta find it.
Ah ok. Thank you for explaining it to me. Since all my innerwear are just shirts worn for home use. I was more seeking to alternatives to those and you've already specified them here. Thank you so much!
only other thing i'll add is sometimes these feelings about our physical appearance are overblown. they're valid, but in my experiences other people care less about these sorts of things than we do.
like warp/carrion said i'd look into different base layers but i'd also just wear it and see what happens. sometimes you get less scared by doing the scary thing, and if you do feel uncomfortable you can always button back up.
That's true. I think I could try to pull off the look despite the fear one day. Thank you!
