5 Amazing Ways to Style a Men's Tank Top

There are different ways to style a tank top while heading out to the gym. Those ways are different from the way you style a tank top when you’re wearing it while heading to a convenience store, or to the park to walk your dog. Styling a tank top for the gym is a whole different territory and we’re going to be looking at a few men's tank top styles, or ways to style a tank top for you.

  • The Fit:

Whichever fit you decide to go for, a loose or a fitted tank top, remember to pair it with something that’s the opposite of the fit you go for. To clarify, if you choose to go for a loose-fitting tank top, pair it with something that’s fitted like this Hummel’s training pants for men or shorts for men. Similarly, if you’re going for a tightly fitted tank top, then pair it with something loose. Although, in the case of a fitted tank top, tightly fitted bottoms could also work.

  • The length:

Your tank top should fall below your belt loop, it tends to look more appealing that way. A tightly fitted tank top doesn’t mean torso-hugging tight. It means tight enough that it doesn’t restrict your movements. The tightness can also affect the length making it seem shorter than it is.

  • The colour:

Wearing a bright colour of tank top keeps your spirits lifted, but it also draws attention to you. Something dark allows you to go unnoticed, but it can also be a Debbie-downer for your mood. Neutral colours, on the other hand, keep you calm and somewhat inconspicuous. You can also decide to go with colours you like because wearing something you like can be another confidence booster.

  • Skin Showing:

Most loosely fitted tank tops are so revealing they show your chest as well as your arms. Doing things in moderation is good, so showing a bit of skin, like your arms, is good. But anything more can be embarrassing for the other people at the gym.

  • A second layer:

Coming back to this again. You can throw something over your tank top. It can be a sweatshirt or hoodie, maybe a men’s jacket. You can decide to take it off when you get to the gym. It would also come in handy when you’re heading back and the weather changes.

4 Things to know before wearing Tank tops

This is a reiteration of the points listed above.

  • The fit matters. Wearing a tank top that’s too tight would leave you looking drenched after your workout. So, ensure that it’s hanging half an inch, or an inch, from your body.
  • The length should fall below your belt loop. Any shorter leaves no room for you to tuck it in, if you desire.
  • If you’re thinking of going for a more revealing tank top, remember that showing off your skin in moderation is good.
  • The material of the tank top matters because you want something that’s breathable.

Conclusion

Choose your tank top in a style that best suits you or something you like. If you’re not sure what your style is, the more you acquire tank tops, the more you’ll be able to narrow down what you like and what you don’t. Soon enough, you’ll be able to build your style.
