Sure, tank tops are default layers when the weather turns muggy, sticky, and unbearably hot. But it would be a disservice to you and your triceps to discount the humble tank's year-around utility.
It doesn't matter what you call them—A-shirts, singlets, muscle tees, wife pleasers—one of 'em deserves a spot in your rotation. Tuck a simple ribbed version beneath a button-up and it becomes the most essential base layer in your office arsenal; wear a next-gen performance version to the gym and it’ll level up your sweat sessions. Or push the small top, big pants agenda by wearing a mesh version all on its own—ideally with a pair of voluminous, Bieberesque jeans.
In short: Tank tops provide countless opportunities to flex your style chops. So to help you do just that, GQ wear-tested dozens of them to find the best sultry, sizzling, and otherwise show-stopping sleeveless joints on the market. —Reed Nelson
