hear that? It’s the sweet summer whistle that invites you to check out your sleeves. Tank tops with a fresh breeze are the most comfortable you can get on days when the mercury rises to air fryer state, other than not being completely worn out. And let’s be honest, you probably can’t – and shouldn’t – stay away from showing more body in a social setting unless you’re less than 100 feet from Beach or pool (in which case we recommend this elegant terry cut).
We’re loyal supporters of replacing your tee with a tank – even during mild summer nights if you design it right. But we’re not talking about a colorful sports tank made of moisture-wicking performance fabrics, or a tank top you wear before bed. Stylish tank tops Act They exist, and we’re here to help you find them. But let’s take a second to learn the best part about wearing a sleeveless number: No. tinctures.
It goes without saying that like T-shirts, tops come in different fabrics, textures, and cuts, such as A-shirts and muscle shirts. And like a good tee, fit is what matters most. You definitely don’t want a tank that hugs your torso like a second skin, or one that lumps at your waist because it’s so long. Just dive into the past for inspiration, when yesterday’s bad boy heart crossed the cute counter in their sleeveless shirts, like Marlon Brando in A car called Desire and John Travolta in Saturday night fever. But don’t lean too much into reactionary feelings. The ones you want in your closet should be more flexible, and come in solid colors or simple patterns that keep your overall look streamlined and effortless. After all, wouldn’t you want your biceps to do all the talking? We’ve got seven Star Tank Tops to help you do just that.
1. jack tank movement
Founded by former tennis player Greg Kohenka, this New York City brand knows a thing or two about sportswear. The motion tank can be worn on or off the field. It’s a stylish piece made of 4-way stretch mesh nylon made in Switzerland. To keep odor at bay, it’s treated with two innovative layers of clothing for odor control and thermoregulation.

2. Mountain trade wind performance tank
The Vuori touts the Tradewind Performance Tank as the most technical tank, but it goes beyond activewear thanks to a hidden chest pocket. Thoughtful touches include flatlock seams that reduce friction and a perforated construction for quick drying capabilities.

3. Jungmaven Tank Top
We’re obsessed with Jungmaven’s clothing made with hemp, a sustainable, non-toxic fiber that has natural antibacterial properties. Even better: every piece is made in America. His unisex tanks are made from half organic cotton, half hemp and have a tail that reaches just right. The tanks come in an athletic fit, and come in 19 different colors.

4. Dries Van Noten Jersey Tank Top
While Belgian fashion house Dries Van Noten is our go-to for avant-garde menswear, this ribbed knit tank top is a relaxed summer staple. It comes with a super soft cotton jersey, a round neck, and a loose fit construction. It pairs brilliantly with shorts, jeans or linen pants.

5. J. Crew . Garment-dyed Pocket Tank Top
J. Crew responsibly supplies cotton through the Better Cotton Initiative for his affordable pocket shirt. We love the feel of it that comes from its relaxed fit and non-rigid cotton material, which is garment dyed to reduce color fading when it comes out of the washer.
