Yes. Why do you want to do this?

It's not that unusual. I think it's rare that someone would specifically wear 2 t-shirts, but it's extremely common for people to wear a t-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt, or for women to wear a long tank top underneath a shorter tank top (or variations on this theme) for a layering effect, at least in America.

I would say two t-shirts is still unusual. To me it would be almost as strange as wearing two button-downs at once. Layering is pretty much always done with two items of clothing that are different, i.e. a t-shirt paired with a long sleeve shirt / sweater / jacket. If you want the t-shirt visible, you could wear a wifebeater underneath or an open-faced long sleeve shirt on top.

I'd disagree with the other commenter that a long sleeve underneath a t-shirt is a good look. I've seen people wear it, but this look is mostly something that I'd expect a middle schooler to wear.

I've known a thin guy who would do this to seem bulkier. More common is the thermal long-sleeved undershirt with a t-shirt over it, which is also better on the warmth front.

Ensure that you're good with color coordination, then just do it. It's more likely to be the good kind of unconventional than the weird kind.
