Hottest 2011 Street Style Contest Summer is still upon us and the heat can sometimes be unbearable to walk around in, even when sporting a short-sleeved shirt. This is where tanks come in. The sleeveless tops are being produced by all of our favorite brands, but there are some guidelines to remember when rocking a tank. Have no fear! We're here to give you a few fashion street style tips. Take a look at our cohesive style guide on how to rock a fashion street style tank this summer. • The Fit The scoop of your tank shouldn't fall below the collarbone. We know there are a lot of versions that are extremely low cut, but let's not go there. The armholes of the tank should be low so you can breathe, but not too low that it exposes your entire side. We could do without your man-boobs slipping out. Please, no nip-slips. • The Right Place to Wear It As they say, "There is a time and place for everything." Yes there is. While tanks are extremely comfortable, but you can't just wear them everywhere. It's totally cool to rock tanks if you're spending the day at the beach, hanging with your friends outside, or if you're in the comforts of your own home. You do not, however, wear a tank to meet your girl's parents, to a restaurant with white tablecloths, or when at the workplace.
• What to Wear It With To keep up with the casual look of tanks, pair it with lightweight denim, shorts, or even khaki pants. Just make sure that the look is not too formal. Sneakers are ideal to make the whole look effortless, but other shoes are obviously not excluded. You can pull it off a simple rocking look with a nice fitting tank, snapbacks and black shorts. • The Brands That Do It the Best As mentioned, you can most likely purchase a tank from any men’s clothing brand, but we have come to the conclusion that fashion street style clothing brands do it like a boss. The four best options you can choose from are: Stussy Skate Rat Tank, OBEY Everlasting Basic Tank Top, Rocksmith New Money Striped Tank, and Crooks & Castles Camo Tank Top. • It Is Not for Everyone If you've skipped the gym for a while and gotten a little too comfortable hanging out by the fridge, let's leave tanks out of your wardrobe this summer. Also, if you've been on your vampire state of being, you might want to get some sun before you show off your pale guns. So hit the weights, get a nice tan, and try again next year.
