The reason for this is that the fabric of dress shirts is usually quite thin and is anything but 100% opaque. Because of the lack of opacity, if a person does not wear a white undershirt, the skin tones seep through and make the shirt look darker, giving the impression it is not very clean. The white on white makes it look brighter, giving the impression of it being cleaner. The effect is real. Whether it has any effect on how a person percieves you may or may not be true.
