Tank Top for Men – Guide

Short answer: A tank top for men is a sleeveless basic that can be worn as an undershirt, for training or as a summer top. Choose a tank top in bamboo viscose, and you get a soft, breathable fabric that keeps you dry and fresh, no matter how you wear it.

What do you use a tank top for?

The tank top is one of the most flexible pieces in your wardrobe: under a shirt it works as an undershirt, in the heat it stands alone, and for training it gives you free movement. See the selection of bamboo tank tops for men from brands like JBS of Denmark and Resteröds.

Why bamboo is a good choice

Bamboo viscose wicks sweat away from the skin and inhibits odour, which is exactly what you want from a top that sits directly against the body. For training, the material beats both cotton and polyester on comfort; read why in the post on bamboo for training.

Fit and combinations

To wear it as an undershirt, the tank top should sit close; as a standalone top it can be a touch looser. Combine it with bamboo shorts for men on hot days, or see the full range of bamboo clothing for men. If you are unsure about the size, read the guide on how to find the right size.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a tank top and an undershirt?

The shape is largely the same. A tank top is typically meant to be seen, while an undershirt is thinner and designed to be worn under your clothes. A close-fitting tank top works perfectly well as an undershirt.

Are bamboo tank tops good for training?

Yes, bamboo viscose breathes, wicks sweat away and inhibits odour, so the top stays comfortable throughout your workout.

How should a tank top fit?

As an undershirt it should sit close to the body. As a standalone summer top it can be a little looser, so the air can circulate.
