Tank Tops - who suits them?

42 replies

dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 19:57

I bought a knitted one recently and am not sure about it.

However, I have a cottony fitting one too and I like it.

Is it possible to wear knitted tank and not look a tool?

Train spotters!

agree with youareright - can look nice if worn with white shirt underneath

autumnscoming · 28/08/2009 19:59

i love tank tops with a nice blouse underneath dare i mention i really like Boden ones i am certainly not thin bt i think i look ok in them especially with wide legged trousers to balance out hips etc

I have been looking for one for ages and found one in M&S today. It better fit and look good.

for large norks must have deep neckline

high necks fro small norkers only

thin women with small boobs
my italian skinny friend looks gorgeous in crisp white shirt and tank top
i look shit in one

dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 20:03

I do not have overly large tits. I have a broad back and that might be my downfall. I do not suit blouses.

I thin what I need is a good top underneath, rather than shirt.

Maybe this sort of thing

fishie · 28/08/2009 20:09

i a couple of these tops last year for putting underneath things. they are fab.

i look like a tank in a tank top.

YouAreRight · 28/08/2009 20:09

white stuff do a nice shirt to wear under
kind of aertex stretch(soudns crap eh?)

YouAreRight · 28/08/2009 20:10

nt on the site
they do em every year i think

autumnscoming · 28/08/2009 20:10

thats the first time i have looked at the White Stuff website is it good quality? it looks quite Primark

YouAreRight · 28/08/2009 20:12

here

dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 20:14

yes that fabstretch looks decent

I prefer long sleeve thin tees under tanks. A shirt can look too prumpy (cross between prim and frumpy)

dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 20:15

I am not familiar with primark but white stuff is quite good, inteeresting patterns, lovely colours, prob still overpriced but then I think everything is overpriced

i got a fab strethc sweater from there last year in grey and it was great wiht a shirt under - had to size up. IME kew is HUGE on bottom and tight on top
wanted to get another later in the year and all gorn

dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 20:15

yes, cybil, I think I am agreeing with you and I should bear that in mind.

OP posts:
dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 20:16

maybe it is just your tits that make it all tight

OP posts:
YouAreRight · 28/08/2009 20:16

depends on your styling imo
i wore it with a male type work shirt and me old hoop earrings
looked good ( i htink)

CybilLiberty · 28/08/2009 20:17

yes her tits are massive

dogofpoints · 28/08/2009 20:19

I think, though - on reflection - that with my broad back I could not get away with the shirt/tank look. I need a tight top/tank look. My back dictates my 'styling'

CybilLiberty · 28/08/2009 20:20

They make me feel 'boxy'
