Tank Tops

[gjosephunf]

Hello MetJax,

Personally, I enjoy wearing tanks during the summer. In Florida, it's quite easy to dress up or down and I aim for the following looks.





Absolutely enjoy pairing suspenders, tank tops, skinny pants, and toms shoes  .

So tell me, what do you think of tank tops?

[gjosephunf]

Yes, I definitely agree about tank tops evolving from characterless designs to more vivid and elaborate patterns. I think we're seeing a shift as designers collaborate with art historians, anthropologists, and other "non-designers" to gain insight about historical trends and cultures, eventually translating texture/pattern to the runway.

^Lookbook.nu is an excellent website to gather looks and inspiration for outfits. It's "facebook" for fashion

Yes, Stephen Dare! Lookbook.nu members can take photos of themselves, and broadcast their outfit to the world. Users can label where they purchased their ensemble. There's a mix of professional models, and just average individuals you would see everyday through daily interaction. Another neat website is polyvore but I personally think lookbook.nu is MUCH better.

I assume we're talking about the evolution of the wife beater?  It's interesting to see the combination of wearing the tank with a sweater during the summer.  Definitely need to have the right upper body for tanks, imo.  When did the evolution from the plain tanks begin?

Just dont try to wear a tank top to Casbah, men are not allowed. You can be a fat woman and wear one there, just not a fit man. We've been turned away several times because friend had on a tank top.
