Are the tiny holes in a prayer shirt, through which skin color is not visible except upon very close inspection, considered a Waswasa (whisperings/obsessive thoughts) that prevents the prayer from being valid, especially since they have become visible in most clothes after purchase, and is prayer accepted in such a case?

You are afflicted with waswasa (obsessive whispering); so, disregard it, pay no attention to it, and do not open its door, because yielding to it leads to great evil.

If the garment is not torn such that the skin color does not show except upon close examination, then pray in it and do not mind the waswas.
