The 22 Best Tank Tops for Men, Tried and Tested by Style Experts
Let your underarms breathe—and show off your biceps.
IS THERE any type of shirt more fitting for beating the heat—and flaunting your guns at the same time—than the tank top? We’re not talking about those sheer, flimsy tank tops that will put you at risk of indecent public exposure. Instead, the subject is the best tank tops for men that will remodel you into a Greek god—even if you’re more dad-bod or have skipped lift days for a good while.
But, considering their humble and not-so-classy beginnings, you might be thinking: “Tank tops are just for frat party bros and gym rats, right?” Wrong. The best tank tops for men have come a long way from a hyped-up undershirt; a tank top is now a comfort staple for lounging, a statement layering piece you’ll want to show off under a zip-up hoodie, and a wardrobe lifesaver in these popsicle-melting days. Not to mention: if Jason Momoa got to wear a tank top at the Golden Globes to free his biceps, then nothing can stop us now.
Our style experts have sourced and tried on over 45 singlets to find the 22 best tank tops for men below, from performance tank tops that are ready to hit the gym to breathable cotton tank tops that are versatile and cozy to statement tank tops that will shine on their own. So go forth and be your best tank-top-clad self to soak up the sunlight—and onlookers' attention—in breezy, sleeveless panache.
