As you should know, behind most well dressed man there is a woman. So although I'm of the wrong sex, I can answer this for you. Except for the question of comfort that is. ;o)
A t-shirt underneath your dress shirt is mostly for the persperation. Especially in warm weather it prevents your dress shirt from getting soaked and smelly. And it looks better because the color of your dress shirt looks less foggy. In a dress shirt that isn't 100% cotton (and most of them aren't because most cotton shirts, or at least the more affordable ones, look very worn, floppy, dirty after a day) some men start to smell very badly. If you are wondering about ordinairy t-shirts it can be a problem with some of the short sleeved dress shirts. However there is 100% cotton underwear (mostly very expensive stuff) that looks like a short sleeved t-shirt and that fits the body very well. But when you buy do keep in mind that the closer the material is to your body the hotter you feel. Last. The extra layer should insulate you somewhat from too much heat. There is an airpocket between the t-shirt and the dress shirt. So actually it should make you feel cooler. Not hotter.
