This week's fashion tip takes a look at how you should look under your clothes as it deals with the subject men's body hair. AskMen has received loads of e-mail regarding whether it is appropriate for men to remove their body hair partially or completely; under the arms, on the chest and even in the genital area.

armpits
Grooming armpits will undoubtedly improve personal hygiene as bushy underarms can generate extra heat and will most often result in heavier perspiration. For aerodynamic purposes, many athletes remove underarm hair completely. The idea is simple; your armpits will breathe easier and less anti-perspirant or deodorant is required.

chest and back
Back hair and chest hair should also be maintained as they become too long and too dense. When body hair grows too long it can be troublesome and get tangled in clothing or even in zippers which can spawn painful reactions (just like when removing a Band-aid). Just as with underarm hair, the thicker it grows, the more heat it produces and the faster body odor starts to develop. A quick and simple trim of chest and back hair is a quick and easy solution.

genitals
Trimming your genital area will profit your personal hygiene, your appearance and it may even spice up your sex life. The hygiene factor is the same as with the above mentioned body parts; the less hair is present, the less risk you have of overheating or sweating excessively. As for aesthetics and the quality of your sex life, chances are that you and your partner are the only ones who will see the difference. To prove my point on how it might improve your sex life just ask yourself one question: do you prefer when your partner's genital area is groomed or when it is unkempt and hairy?
