Tank tops as we call them are t-shirts that went sleeveless to become the all-time favorites of kids, men, and women from all age groups. With the scorching heat and pouring rains, this piece of clothing can be your best buddy. Making their place as a perfect summer essential to keep you from melting, these tank tops are available in a variety of materials, prints, and colors.
Trends come and go, but one piece of clothing that has managed to sustain in the long run are Tank tops for men. Over the years, men and their love for tank tops have neither changed nor evolved. Have you ever wondered why? They are super comfy, lightweight and good to go with anything. Planning a boy’s trip, pack some of these. Let it be a walk on the beach, a movie or a quick coffee, these tank tops are your go-to buddies. The icing on the cake is that they are apt for any season. They are both versatile and easy going.
Rule the tank top game
Pay close attention to the fit, you don’t want to land up picking a baggy one or the one that is way too tight. Jockey offers a wonderful collection of gym tank tops for men. A perfect tank top like Liza Corsillo, for GQ states, “Like your favorite tee, it should fall just below your belt loops. It should not hug your torso tightly. In fact, it should hang about half an inch from your body; this will help keep your sweat from showing up in big pools.” She further states, “The amount of skin you’re showing should not exceed the square inches covered by your tank top. The armholes of your tank should descend no further than your first rib. And the neckline should end above the latitude of your pits.” Make sure the tank fits you like a glove, but not an undersized one. The simpler, the better.
Make sure it fits the bill
It is important to keep the purpose in mind when picking up a tank top. Remember they cannot be worn everywhere. When picking one for your gym session, make sure it fits well and flatters your physique. Picking one for an outing with your friends? Remember the armholes need to be just about deep enough but not too deep. It is also suitable to wear them like an inner and top up with a simple plain shirt and fitted shorts to go, to grab a casual lunch with your boys. Is there anyway else to pair it? Well, one can even combine a comfortable tank top with a trendy check shirt and a pair of jeans for the perfect Saturday look, at the office.
In her blog about the evolution of tank tops Anne of Green Gables states that “It is amazing to think that something that people wear on a day-to-day basis, whether as regular dress, to work out, or just to sleep in, could have evolved from a shocking but practical change in swimwear at the beginning of the 20th century.” Whatever said and done, breathable, moveable, and oh-so-comfortable, we’re a big fan of tank tops when the temperature makes them not only appropriate but preferable to the standard T-shirt.
