James Bond and Sheer Dress Shirts

James Bond and Sheer Dress Shirts
Recently a reader complained about sheer dress shirts and asked about options besides having to wear a t-shirt underneath. Even more recently, we were taking note of James Bond in Octopussy and noticed the sheerness of 007's tuxedo shirt, to the point where you can almost make out his nipples. Bottom line: 1. No undershirts. 2. Accept and embrace sheer dress shirts.
