I went no bniyan for a while and then reverted back due to better body odor control. If you sweat a lot and you have strong BO then it helps. Now I have a closet full of baniyan.
I have no body odour, and I sweat normally but I have been wearing one since school days. It was something my school teacher suggested in our class as good habits and I started it and it stayed. I’m uncomfortable without wearing one.
Correct. Earlier in childhood I had two options. Shirt or baniyan at home. And I shifted to tshirt , it gave me flexibility, chill at home and go out like that easily.
Surprised to hear this. I was born and brought up in India but live in America. I wear a baniyan everyday at home. Hardly wear a shirt except when going out.
Not wearing banyan gives me the same vibe as not wearing underwear. Wearing it makes me feel agile, and serious. I hate winds blowing through me, make me distracted or be casual on things.
This. When the wind blows, I always feel some part of my shirt/T shirt is up in the air with my paunch/back exposed. The baniyan saves from that. I know its all in the head, but still.
Overload of impressions, suggesting men look handsome without one and ridiculing the one who wear one, through media content via movie, music videos, etc. for an extended period of time.
As a fairly young guy, 16yo, I never wore them. When I was small, Id not wear them, and now that I’m older, I just feel wired wearing them. They feel tight and uncomfortable.
I used to wear it as a kid but it's a bit too tight so I get irritated. It has it's benefits and I feel like I should wear one but I don't want to because it's tight
I always found it stupid to wear. (On myself not talking about others). Most sweat is from armpits and banyans dont cover them. So no reason to wear it inside uniforms (school) . So i wore full banyans with arms for a while. It meant you can wear the same shirt twice if you put it out in the sun. I didnt like wearing sleeveless at home so opt for tshirts
I don't know if its some issue with my body but when I wear banyan, it fits me a bit uneven. The balance is not right, it gets too low my left shoulder and too near the neck on my right and the strap is then visible over the round neck t-shirt which makes me feel uncomfortable. I have even been called out sometimes that my banyan strap is visible(seriously). I can imagine how girls would be feeling when they get pointed out for bra straps.
I still wear 'em. I only not wear' em when I'm home. Sweating without a vest is just ehhh. When I accidentally bump into someone in bus or outside who don't wear one & are sweaty I just feel weird AF.
I think old school shirts needed banyan as they were very thin and delicate...plus back in the day, a shirt was a long term investment and ppl didn't had many.. So one has to take care of the shirt a lot to keep it looking good for long term...
Whn i was in school i used to wear daily but since i started gym thing i noticed that banyans interfere with tee shape. Body shape nahin dikhti thi. So band kar diya.
I didn't like them tbh, but I had worn them since childhood and didn't think much of it. Ofcourse, like others mentioned, it often felt unfit and one side looping with its straps coming outside the tshirts neck (round). Eventually, the image came to be associated with Indian Chapris uncle who lounge all day long at home in baniyan and pant, while watching tv. My girlfriend didn't like it on me so I just threw them away. It's worthless piece of s*it. Better be shirtless if you find it too hot. Lmao
Dude what are you saying the Banyan, or vest is a indispensable part of any man's attire, he wears it under his shirt so that it absorbs sweat, he wears it at home and can get away with wearing one to the grocery shop. You can get banyans anywhere from local Mon/Tues markets to branded ones.
As I grew older I became more and more pretentious and overheard a conversation between 2 of my girl classmates that someone wears baniyan he's so gavthi/dehati. And I stopped wearing them. Fir aadat ban gayi
Well not a banyan...but I always wear a tank top at home....and when I go outside I always keep a vest underneath otherwise the tshirt gets ruined because of the sweat.
As I was growing up, banyans started to tear up easily. I felt embarrassed to wear it. So I substituted it with thin t shirts which became more easily available and also gist comparable to banyan
I used to wear it all the time as without it I always felt wierd and naked. But this summer was so hot that I tried being without it and now when I try wearing it after the summer it doesn't feel comfortable.
I used to where it till 2nd yearr college. Then all of a sudden dogs started tearing up the baniyans I used to dry after wash along with normal stealing in college. Got fed up with buying new ones and stopped wearing. And that's how I stopped wearing Baniyan!!!
where is this coming from? Everyone still wears banyan. How do you know no one wearing banyan? Are you talking about wearing Banyan in College? It was weird back then and now it's more weird.
Imo as a product designer, people who sweat still wear them just so that an urban typical guy rarely sweats. Also coupled with fashion for loose clothes and development of fabrics that aren't skin stickers... and evaporates water quickly.
Nah bro. Your some known must not wearing it. I wear it daily. In fact at home I don’t wear t shirt. It’s baniyan only. My whole friend circle wear it too
I still wear them religiously and I found them to be very practical at least for me. It think it kind of holds your body and definitely helps with the sweat and body odor situation. I don't find any practical reason for not wearing them.
Hmm, I used to wear them without tshirts but then I had to put on tshirt to go out of the house, now I just got some comfy clothes so no need for a vest
When I was in 4th standard, our Head Master called out everyone not wearing underwear, for a public health message from Public Health representatives of the State Government.
Never wore one in my whole life If parents put it on then I would just remove it after some time I don't know the reason but no I think I should start wearing it
I still wear them.
This guy had been waiting for ages for this moment to comment this
Apna luck pehen ke Chalo 👍🏼
Lol
my reddit avatar is topless just like old days
How much do you love banyans? This guy: YES
Real Macho Man
I still wear them. The old ones were cotton and the new ones I have are made with yarn from recycled plastic bottles.
ye baburao ka ishtyle hai

El banian
Proud of you
I went no bniyan for a while and then reverted back due to better body odor control. If you sweat a lot and you have strong BO then it helps. Now I have a closet full of baniyan.
Same here man. I sweat a lot and have insane body odour. Those banyans with sleeves really save my shirts from being ruined.
I have no body odour, and I sweat normally but I have been wearing one since school days. It was something my school teacher suggested in our class as good habits and I started it and it stayed. I’m uncomfortable without wearing one.
Sweat has nothing to do with taking bath. It's bo that gets controlled.
Loved the explanation
Use a antiperspirant and eat less garlic, onion, ginger, zeera and cruciferous vegetables. Use a dry stick deo. Trim your armpit hair short.
Same
The bniyan will absorb sweat. Can this leads to increase chances of skin diseases ? Because the bniyan will stay wet and will in contact with skin.
As I grew older, I became lazier. One less article to wash and take care of, one less article to put on and put off.
7 karor.
Is th right answer!!
I second this.
The t-shirts took over!
I still wear banyan under it , without banyan it feels like I'm naked and i don't like it.
But people don’t wear anything inside shirt too.
Correct. Earlier in childhood I had two options. Shirt or baniyan at home. And I shifted to tshirt , it gave me flexibility, chill at home and go out like that easily.
This. Also my office allows wearing polo T-shirts so I don't wear shirts and vests because polo are more comfortable .
This
We got tired of tu Rupa ka baniyan pehnega to Rupa kya pehenegi jokes.
Rupa Calvin Klein pehenti hai ab aur insta pe reels banati hai
We wear with formals and shirts
Same
Surprised to hear this. I was born and brought up in India but live in America. I wear a baniyan everyday at home. Hardly wear a shirt except when going out.
Oye! Same to same buddy! Baniyan without tshirt is the best lounge wear.
Apparently, baniyans are called "wife beaters" in north america lol
I was like five-six and very shy kid.
Uncle, main pehnunga toh Rupa....
Mujhe bhi phale nanga feel hota tha naa phenu toh😿
What is this marketing tactics, shame customer into buying product.
shopkeeper uncle is proud
Which Indian men are you taking the tops off to find this?
We shirtless now
Its hot and banyanz get sweaty and the wet banyan gives me skin problems
I used to wear it with my school uniform but except that it felt really uncomfortable. They also just went out of fashion completely
I have hyperhydrosis wearing a banyan makes it worse
I hope you're already in
Bade logon ki badi badi baatein.
I sweat a lot but wearing those cotton sleeveless ones help me prevent getting my shirt drenched in sweat
Me seeing this wearing a banyan thinking when did people stop wearing banyans 🙂
Not wearing banyan gives me the same vibe as not wearing underwear. Wearing it makes me feel agile, and serious. I hate winds blowing through me, make me distracted or be casual on things.
This. When the wind blows, I always feel some part of my shirt/T shirt is up in the air with my paunch/back exposed. The baniyan saves from that. I know its all in the head, but still.
It felt freeing without it.
Bra thodi hai, banyan hai 🗿
I don't know how true this phenomenon is across India but I've noticed it and I'm surely interested in reading a few answers on this
Speak for yourself!
I've never worn one. Tried it once and never again. Too uncomfortable for me.
I have been wearing since I was in school. Only change is: i used to wear white banyans back in day but now switched to colour ones.
Overload of impressions, suggesting men look handsome without one and ridiculing the one who wear one, through media content via movie, music videos, etc. for an extended period of time.
freedom my friend, freedom from unnecessary clothing
I don't know how or why but
Huh. Am I the only one who wears a baniyan under my tees?
People are ashamed to roam around in baniyan fir some reason.
Banyans distorts the fit of slim fit shirts and T shirts. Also I hardly spend any time out of air conditioned environments these days.
As a fairly young guy, 16yo, I never wore them. When I was small, Id not wear them, and now that I’m older, I just feel wired wearing them. They feel tight and uncomfortable.
Kaala T Shirt Lamba Baal 🤙🏾
Yea andar ki baat hey 😂
I used to wear it as a kid but it's a bit too tight so I get irritated. It has it's benefits and I feel like I should wear one but I don't want to because it's tight
Buy one which fits you and try The baniyan won't grow like you
I still do. When it’s worn out , I use them to clean my bike. Banyan is 100% usable stuff.

Never wore banyan to begin with
Tshirts
I still wear 'em. I only not wear' em when I'm home. Sweating without a vest is just ehhh. When I accidentally bump into someone in bus or outside who don't wear one & are sweaty I just feel weird AF.
People used to care about having sweat marks on their limited number of clothes. Now they don't care since they have a lot of clothes
It is hidden under out shirts
Torrtuga beta "vest" bolo. Yeh baniyan is so middle class.
Ah the good old banyan trees worn by Indian men.
Wore them 2-3 times in my entire life. Feels really uncomfortable. I don't really like anything hugging me(unless it is someone close).
I think old school shirts needed banyan as they were very thin and delicate...plus back in the day, a shirt was a long term investment and ppl didn't had many.. So one has to take care of the shirt a lot to keep it looking good for long term...
Jab mei chota baccha tha(I'm 30 now), tab Salman ko dekha tha TV pe, usne T-shirt utari but baniyan nahi pehni thi. Tab se maine bhi pehni chod di.
For me it would get too hot, so i stopped wearing it.
Wait what? Everyone in my hostel wears banyan. Some even wear just banyan lol.
Men who have man boobs should wear it. I've seen guys with erect nipples and man boobs not wearing an undervest and it looks so tacky.
I still wear them everyday. I don’t know why but if i don’t wear them I don’t feel comfortable.
Moisture wicking shirts rendered them obsolete
People wear it.
I went for v neck shirts as undershirts. Armpits covered.
Muscles
They realised it wasn't doing much for their looks
People not wearing baniyaan? Meanwhile me who just did the weekend laundry and is no line drying seven baniyaans
In first year college I had to wash my own clothes. That's when I stopped wearing them
One day a friend laughed at me for wearing a baniyan… since then I stopped wearing it… and then realised how pointless it was
Whn i was in school i used to wear daily but since i started gym thing i noticed that banyans interfere with tee shape. Body shape nahin dikhti thi. So band kar diya.

One less article to wash, that's it
When I was in my age 9-10 ..i became lazy and didn't want to wear wear banyan because of my laziness and fun fact is this that I am still lazy🤣🤣
Garmi
Rupa took them all away I guess because "woh Rupa ki baniyan pehente the"

Asking the real question there
People found out Tshirts work better
The same way Americans stopped wearing wife-beaters.
I had a banyan phase during lockdown...soon I discovered it's also called wife beaters. Lol.
Who stopped?
Wait what ?
i thought it was the opposite
I still use it
Well not a banyan...but I always wear a tank top at home....and when I go outside I always keep a vest underneath otherwise the tshirt gets ruined because of the sweat.
As I was growing up, banyans started to tear up easily. I felt embarrassed to wear it. So I substituted it with thin t shirts which became more easily available and also gist comparable to banyan
Mne 7th class say nhi phane and now im in my 3rd semester and still dont wear pta nhi bhot garmi lagte the .
I am wearing it since my school days and now it feels like it became a body part of mine
Banyan or vest increases the longevity of good quality shirts as it prevents the skin to directly touch the fabric.
Big boss banyan
I stopped wearing vests since I shifted to South India as here it doesn't get cold enough to wear one
I used to wear it all the time as without it I always felt wierd and naked. But this summer was so hot that I tried being without it and now when I try wearing it after the summer it doesn't feel comfortable.
Someone didn’t tell the Men in my family
When the hell did that happened?
I used to wear it to school cause of white uniform but when covid started I forgot about it and now I dont wear it
My father and uncles still do
I used to where it till 2nd yearr college. Then all of a sudden dogs started tearing up the baniyans I used to dry after wash along with normal stealing in college. Got fed up with buying new ones and stopped wearing. And that's how I stopped wearing Baniyan!!!
I wear it at home.
I only wear banyan when I'm wearing a shirt
where is this coming from? Everyone still wears banyan. How do you know no one wearing banyan? Are you talking about wearing Banyan in College? It was weird back then and now it's more weird.
Not wearing banyans are generally more comfortable for me
I love banyans they are simply made out of most breathable cloth material and it suitable to wear in both summer and winter.
Umm i dont know about others but I have noticed Jethalal wearing one everyday.
In the time of such disparities, it is time to go commando!
Maybe in the big cities, in towns &villages they still do
Never wore it
It's known as wife beaters in USA .
when did this happen, I still do
I am a commando, through and through.
Salman bhai fanclub
Just got lazy
commenting this while wearing banyan and bermuda. Not sure who has stopped wearing.
I don't wear it because i easily get sweat also one less clothes to wash for my mom
Bhai Tondh Bdhgayi Hai Aaj Kal Toh Jb Baniyaan pehnata hu dost puchte hai

It’s no more drippy
Banyans absorb BO and sweat.
They still do.
Nah bro. Your some known must not wearing it. I wear it daily. In fact at home I don’t wear t shirt. It’s baniyan only. My whole friend circle wear it too
Many still do. It's an essential part to stop the sweat for spoiling your shirt specially in humid places
globel warming can't wear two layers
It's hot. Just very hot. And I'm lazy.
I still wear them religiously and I found them to be very practical at least for me. It think it kind of holds your body and definitely helps with the sweat and body odor situation. I don't find any practical reason for not wearing them.
I wear banyan whenever i am going out because it brings good luck and help in sweat/odour control.😅
I still wear it coz my nipples poke into my tshirt and it looks weird
Stopped since ....wood ads 🤫🤪
I am wearing it while I am typing this...
Most of the T-shirt quality match to banyan so no need.
Literally wearing it right now.
Hmm, I used to wear them without tshirts but then I had to put on tshirt to go out of the house, now I just got some comfy clothes so no need for a vest
Indian men worked out daily in gym resulted in showing abs which is more visible by not wearing banyans .
I'm 18, left wearing those around 13-14 started wearing them again to counter sweating.
I still wear it coz my nipples poke into my tshirt and it looks weird
I am in one right now
When I was in 4th standard, our Head Master called out everyone not wearing underwear, for a public health message from Public Health representatives of the State Government.
I can't wear shirts to work without it. casual cotton t shirts don't need it.
I still wear tho
I still wear it whenever I put shirts on, but never under a T-shirt/Polo.
I go non banyan at home, but for work I NEED them because I end up running around a lot and sweating
Never wore one in my whole life If parents put it on then I would just remove it after some time I don't know the reason but no I think I should start wearing it
Hot weather and i don’t want one more cloth on me.
I still wear it everyday, am 18M
I was never a fan of it so stopped as soon as I got independent lol
I still wear banyans. Coloured ones though mostly. White is difficult to maintain.
I still wear them.
I switched to undershirts...but I still wear the old school banyans on shirts n stuff . It absorbs sweat like a sponge:0
Baniyan is my epi-epidermis
Did you know that in Amerika they call them wife-beaters?
Babubhaiya was the last man to wear em sadly, uske baad sab hera pheri ho gayi...
I wear one when I go outside and have to wear a shirt other wise not in the case of T-shirts.
Still wear them
It's like a men bra...
