Title: what color of binder is best to get?
Post by: Everyone on July 20, 2010, 05:02:02 PM
between black and white, which one is better. I know white will be cooler in the summer probably, but will it also become see-through in the rain? which color is better to get?

I would say white.

I agree, I think white is the best colour to get.

it just depends on what you're looking for. white binders are the most versatile since you can wear them under a white shirt or t-shirt, where a black binder would look awkward. on the other hand when the collar of your white binder shows it may not look super sexy (wife-beater effect). and also, as it gets older, a white binder may not look as pretty due to discolorations.....you don't wanna bleach your binder...

black binders look brand new for a really long time ...i bought a black binder and a white binder last year, the white one looks okay but on the gray side of white, and i'm glad i don't sweat much or else it would probably look quite nasty. the black binder still looks jet black.
I use a black binder underneath a surf shirt for swimming. The surf shirt is black as well so that way it doesn't show.


none of my binders were ever seen-through, if you mean by that that you can see your body underneath. no matter what color. you would have to choose one that's single front in order to run a risk of it being seen through, i guess.

so yeah, if you're planning to only buy one binder, you'll have to get a white one, or else you won't be able to wear just one light colored layer on top of it.

White ones look pretty dirty after awhile. That's why I got black.

I wouldn't recommend wearing a white T shirt in general if you're trying to hide what's under it...

I bought two one of each, rarely wore the black one. So I would go white .

My first binder was black, but I found that it looks strange with my uniform polo and my under armour sport shirts which are mostly white. Black also shows my AXE deodorant  o.o

So I bought a white one aswell but it gets dirty fast.

If you don't have the money for two binders, start off with a white one imo.

I bought a black one although pretty much all my clothes are black anyway.

I'm thinking of getting a white one, though I might get a black one seeing as I don't have that many light clothes.
