It can be fun to find the perfect tank top. Trying on clothes is a favorite past time of many men and women, but if you go into your tank top buying outing without knowing what you are looking for, fun can turn into frustrating. Figure out why you are buying a tank top and what style you are looking for before you start shopping.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine if you need a business or casual tank top. There are many different styles of tank tops, but tank tops that are appropriate for the weekend may not be appropriate for the office. Casual tank tops can be form fitting and low cut, but business tanks should be a little more modest and less form fitting.

  2. Step 2

    Think about whether or not you need a shelf bra. This is personal decision. Many women enjoy wearing tank tops with shelf bras so that they do not need to wear a bra. However, if you are large chested, you may want to choose another style or find a tank top with a built in under wire bra.

  3. Step 3

    Wear the bra you would normally wear with a tank top. Once you choose the tank top you like, make sure your bra cup doesn't stick out the top of the tank top. Also check the back to make sure your bra strap isn't showing.

  4. Step 4

    Choose a length. Waste length tanks accentuate your figure, however if you are concerned about your middle showing, longer styles may be a better choice.

  5. Step 5

    Decide between spaghetti straps or wider straps. Casual tank tops are cute with either type of strap, but if you are looking for a tank top that you can wear to work, you may want to choose a wider strap.
