I know the standard answer is "If it makes you happy, then where them", but this is the Chit-Chat, Fun and Games category. That answer just doesn't fly ;)

What are your opinions? I'm gonna be honest, until recently, I would have said "Maybe to the beach or pool", but lately, I wear them more. I know it's nothing but me being vein, but I don't care. I know we have a diversified bunch on this board. Hell, Niner would probably wear a tank to a black tie event. Why would DieselByte ever put a shirt on at all?

So what have you? When is it acceptable for a guy to wear a tank top in your opinion?

    I think it's acceptable for a guy to wear a tank top at any time other than in a professional setting (office, court, wedding, etc.). I don't see anything wrong with it. I may not want to see certain men in a tank top for various reasons, but that's not my decision to make. If a guy has a nice body, he should always wear a tank top. :smile:

    Ew.

    I like my men with a little body hair. A guy that shaves his arms, armpits, legs, or pubes is a huge turn off for me.

    Sleeveless Tshirts are ok, Tank Tops should require you leave your man card at the door before walking out of the house.

    Wear whatever you want. I don't care for men in tank tops but it really doesn't matter what I think.

    Dude, I used to wear tank tops to church. If people hated on me for it, then it's their issue. While I don't wear as many tank tops now, the majority "go out" clothing still is based on athletic wear. I'll dress up when I absolutely have to, but other than that, I like to wear what I feel that day.

    Sorry, I have to go with no on this. When I see a male tank-top regardless of colour or pattern I immediately think wife-beater. If you want to show off your "guns" a sleeveless t-shirt works just as well. Now that I have arm muscles I will be wearing them on my walks with my dog, with plenty of sunscreen of course.

    Tank tops on men are actually a little more in style at the moment (especially in Williamsburg, Brooklyn). I think they look great on some guys. A few years ago I would have said "no", but the look is growing on me...on the right body.
