So, we're obsessed with Tank Tops here at Jumper 1234. Not only are Tanks ultra-versatile, but they also serve as a seasonal wardrobe wonder, a truly transitional piece. We've put together our seasonal style guide taking you from Spring/Summer to Autumn/Winter, all centred around Tanks!
But first, why is a tank top called a tank top?
Let's take a journey back in time to explore the fascinating history of tank tops! They first became popular in Western fashion during the early 20th century. Back then, they were actually a part of bathing suits for both guys and gals, covering the torso with a sleeveless, low-cut top. The name "tank tops" is said to have come from "tank suits" which are also commonly called "tanks" in England.
As time went on, tank tops evolved into a separate, standalone piece of clothing. According to Jamie Wallis, the director of global communications at Hanes, sleeveless shirts were officially introduced in 1928 alongside the company's woven shirts. The purpose? Super practical! They were designed to help preserve the longevity of those formal, collared shirts we all know and love.
So next time you rock a cool tank top, you'll can share its journey through history!
