White Tank Top for Men – Guide

Short answer: The white tank top is a classic basic that works as an undershirt under shirts, as a training top and as a summer top. Choose it in bamboo viscose, and you get a style that breathes, keeps you dry and holds on to its white colour wash after wash.

The classic of the men's wardrobe

A white tank top is among the basics that every man ends up needing: under a shirt, on its own on a hot day or at the gym. See the selection of bamboo tank tops for men from brands like JBS of Denmark and Resteröds.

One reservation: white under a white shirt

Under a thin, white shirt, a white tank top shows clearly, because it creates contrast against your skin. If the top has to be invisible under light shirts, choose a grey or skin-like style instead. Under dark shirts, T-shirts and knitwear, white is a fine choice; see also bamboo undershirts for men.

Keep it white and in shape

Wash white tops on their own at 30-40 degrees without fabric softener, and skip the tumble dryer. All the details are in the washing guide for bamboo clothing. If you wear the top for training, you can read why bamboo beats both cotton and polyester in the post on bamboo for training.

Frequently asked questions

Is a white tank top invisible under a white shirt?

No, white creates contrast against your skin and shows through thin, white fabric. Choose a grey or skin-like style if the top has to be invisible under light shirts.

Can a white tank top be used for training?

Yes, a tank top in bamboo viscose breathes, wicks sweat away and inhibits odour, which makes it well suited to training.

How do I keep my white tank top white?

Wash it together with other light clothes at a low temperature without fabric softener, and let it air dry instead of tumble drying it.
