Think tank tops are only useful as undershirts? Think again! A tank top can serve as the base layer of your outfit and even make your look stand out in the crowd. The trick to pulling off this summer staple, though, is to choose one that’s the right size and shape for you. Here’s our shortlist of styles that we think will work best on most men, based on their body type and style preferences.

The main thing that you need to keep in mind while selecting a tank top is to choose one that’s the right size and shape for your body type and style preferences. If you are on the leaner side, we suggest that you go for a tank top that is a little bit lose. On the other hand, if your body shape is more chiseled and broad, we would suggest that you go for a slightly snugger fit.
