Guys wearing tank tops have to be strong and muscular. At least, that is what many people think. FALSE. Muscles may make tank tops look better on some.
Yet, regardless of your body, whether you are skinny or muscular, you can pull off a single tank top.
It’s also time to break away from the notion that tank tops are reserved for the gym and showcase how they can be a fashionable choice for various occasions.
With that being said, let’s dive into how to style tank tops. In this article, we will explain and show you what to wear over tank tops as a guy, including tank top outfit ideas.
Tank top outfit ideas
We have selected some tank top outfits, visible below:
What to wear over tank tops
To wear a tank top stylishly, wear them with:
- Short-sleeve shirt
- Over shirt
- Bomber jacket
- Leather jacket
- Varsity jacket
- Flannel shirt
- Blazer
Short sleeve shirt:
Probably my favorite combination: a white or black tank top with a short sleeve shirt.
This match is perfect for those summer days. With a white tank top and a green or blue colored short-sleeved shirt, you create a stylish and casual look.
Choose materials like linen or light cotton for warm weather.
Denim Jacket:
For a classic, rugged style, a denim jacket over a tank top works well. This is great for cooler evenings or for a more structured look
Over shirt:
Styling your tank top with an over shirt creates a stylish yet calm look that is easy to pull off by many.
Bomber Jacket:
For a more fashionable edge, a bomber jacket over a tank top can look stylish. It works well for evenings out or when you need a light jacket.
Leather Jacket:
Combining a leather jacket with a tank top creates a stylish look. A black leather jacket combines with a white tank top as well as other colored singlets.
Varsity jacket:
A light varsity jacket can add a touch of sophistication to a tank top.
Flannel Shirt:
For a more rugged or grunge-inspired look, a flannel shirt over a tank top can be a great choice, especially in transitional weather.
Blazer:
For a daring, high-fashion look, pairing a tank top with a well-fitted blazer can be striking. This works best for casual-formal events or fashion-forward settings.
The perfect fit for styling a tank top
The secret to a great tank top look starts with the fit. You want a tank that gently hugs your body, showing off your physique without being too tight.
This balance ensures that you look put-together and comfortable. Whether you’re lean, muscular, or carrying a few extra pounds, there’s a without doubt a tank top that fits you just right.
When to not wear a tank top
There are some occasions where it would be more appropriate to AVOID the singlets. Think about special occasions such as for example:
- Weddings
- Anniversaries
- Job interviews
- Christmas dinners
- Thanksgiving
But why? Well, simple: because formal situations ask for a more formal look. Wearing a tank top in this case would make a less appreciated impression, as people may find it too sloppy.
Aside from choosing the right moment to put on a singlet, you should not wear ill-fitting singlets.
Depending on how much you use singlets, and its quality, the fit will differ from its initial state and lose shape. So make sure to upgrade your tank top collection if necessary.
Fabric Choices
Next up is the choice of fabric. In the heat of summer, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen are your best friends. They keep you cool and don’t stick to your body. Plus, the quality of the fabric speaks volumes about your style – choose wisely to make a subtle statement.
Accessorizing your singlet
The right accessories can elevate a simple tank top outfit.
A classy watch, a trendy bracelet, or a pair of cool shades can make a huge difference.
Remember, less is often more – choose accessories that complement your outfit without overwhelming it.
Bottoms
Your choice of bottoms and footwear is crucial in pulling the whole look together. Pair your tank top with tailored shorts for a beach day, or opt for chinos for a more polished look. Or just wear them with jeans.
Grooming: Look Sharp, Feel Great
Since tank tops are more revealing, it’s important to pay attention to grooming. A neat appearance, from your hair to your skin, completes your stylish ensemble and ensures you look sharp and feel great.
Confidence: Your Best Accessory
Finally, the most important aspect of any outfit is how you wear it. Confidence is key. Own your look, feel good in what you’re wearing, and let your personality shine through.
So, whether it’s for a casual meet-up or a night out, as long as you style it properly, tank tops are a great piece of your outfit.
