As we know, the humble tank top’s influence and references run as varied as Marlon Brando and Eminem. What started as a basic work-shirt for day laborers and construction workers has now become a common part of every guy’s wardrobe, helping them to keep cool in the hot summer months, and serving as an extra layer of warmth and insulation when winter rolls around. Named after the ‘tank suit’, a style of bathing suit worn by men and women in the Twenties for swimming pools, the tank top has evolved into both a functional and fashionable item of clothing. The best tank tops can serve multiple uses- some are meant for wearing out, while others are best tucked under a shirt. Others can be worn in place of a T-shirt, say, to the beach or when the weather is just too hot for sleeves. A tank top is a great lightweight layer for tropical vacations or a day at the beach. Wear it on its own during the day, then throw on a button-down shirt or sweater over top for dinner at night.
Below are 3 Good Tank Tops For Me:
Russell Athletic Men’s Cotton Performance tank Tops
This is a great tank top that you can wear from the gym to errands afterwards without feeling like a slob. Made from a cozy cotton and polyester blend, the tank top features Russells’s Dri-power moisture wicking technology to you cool and dry. What that means: sweat won’t cling to the fabric, which means it won’t cling to you. Odor protection technology helps to keep the material from stinking up. At the end of the day, toss the tank top in the wash. It’s fully machine-washable, and the premium cotton blend stays soft even after repeated washings.
JC Distro Basic Solid Tank Top
I heavily recommend stocking up on this tank top, which can be worn almost anywhere from a run, to a backyard barbecue, to your next tropical vacation. The versatile tank is made from a 100% ring-spun cotton jersey material, for a super soft finish that wears in perfectly over time. The 5.5 ounce cotton is slightly weightier than other picks on our list. Making this suitable for wearing out and on its own. The tank top is cut for a trim fit, with slightly higher armholes to help accentuate your shoulders and biceps. Thick straps help the tank stay in place.
Fruit of the Loom Men’s A-shirt Tank Tops
You won’t find anything more comfortable than these tank tops from fruit of the loom. These are a new and improved version of the classic fruit of the loom tank your father and grandfathers grew up wearing. Made from 100% cotton, the tank top fits snug against you, no matter your body shape. It’s light enough to not be seen under your shirt, but substantial enough to act as an extra layer to keep you warm.
