I vote an emphatic 'no'. No idea how this trend came roaring back, but when the beau monde and the rest of civilization collectively agreed to exile those drawers full of tank tops to the spare rag cupboard under the bathroom sink, I like to believe it was done for a good reason. Nobody was given permission to embrace them again.

On girls? Yes.

On fit guys? YES.

So basically yes to tank tops on pretty things, especially with the right bottoms in this hot summer. The only things that will dock it is douchery.

On anthropomorphic animals? YE-

WAIT! What?!

So how else am I supposed to get my arms tanned when I am out in public?

I, for one, don't want to go shirtless and expose my meaty nipples in front of god and all creation.

When have you ever seen a good looking man in the wild wearing a tank top? I don't believe this has ever happened.

On the other hand, I'm sitting in a reasonably classy bar having a meal and beer, and I'm being assaulted by exposed armpits and back pimples. We live in a time of confused self-image and rampant narcissism; I don't think people can responsibly regulate their own tank top usage, so it's time to say enough is enough.

And regardless of my previous answer, I'll agree with this.

Unfortunately it doesn't stop at tank tops, it extends to skinny jeans, hots pants, short shorts, and any other form fitting piece of clothing. People are simply losing their grip on self-awareness. Who should we blame?

It's summer. Unless you want to see me shirtless, I'm wearing tank tops on most 90+ degree days. Sloppy shapeless people should do us all a favor and not wear them though.

Ayo to my adult Borians: do you wear a shirt under your dress shirt at work? I don't sweat a lot under my arms even in heat, and I recently stopped wearing a white shirt under my dress shirt. Feels good man

A shirt with sleeves would be a nice start.

Eh, is a wife beater kosher to wear into a store? Hmmm...I kind of want to rule against this. But then again, a gas station or convenience store...might be ok

There is a certain inherent douchiness in displaying yourself like that.

I'm against tank tops, because open pits are not a nice thing to do to other people.

I used to wear tank tops to go to the gym or the beach when I was in good shape, now I just use them around the house.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #44 on:** July 24, 2012, 02:38:11 PM »

I only have one which I got from work as a free promo thing and my wife wanted to throw it away upon seeing it in my closet since she opposes tanks on dudes.

Tanks on ladies is a go though.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #45 on:** July 24, 2012, 02:42:12 PM »

At hot sweaty concerts or outdoor parties: sure

at literally every other occasion: fuck no

I have two or three tank tops that I maybe wear...twice a year.
