All of which is to say, it's a great big world of tanks out there, so GQ got into the weeds to find only the best tank tops for men. Whether you're looking to flex your style chops (or those winter gains–another benefit of the tank top: they make your arms look really sexy), there's a workhorse undershirt, muscle-baring workout partner, or a show-stopping sleeveless tee with your name on it.
