Does your 6-8 year old athletic boy wear tank tops?

It's as trashy as wearing yoga outfits when you aren't doing yoga.

My boys (6 and 8) will wear them on vacation or around the neighborhood. They wouldn't wear them at school. I don't buy tanks but sometimes the grandparents do.

But I'd never waste money on Nike or Under Armour stuff - when my kid has a job he can waste his money on branded junk.

In the meantime you can get perfectly good tank tops at Target.

When my child was this age it's all he would wear for the same reasons.

I don't personally like them so he doesn't have any. He also doesn't wear athletic wear on a regular basis yet (he will be 7 in Oct). I am hoping that day never comes, but since he was 2 I have been telling him athletic wear is only for playing sports lol. hopefully it sunk in

Wait what? Is this why we didn't get into any privates again?

PP, I want to be friends with you.

It must be exhausting to be in some of your families. Your poor kids can’t even stay cool in the summer for your fear of looking low class.

yes -- suns out, guns out!
he thinks he looks cool and i don't mind indulging him.

Its hard for me to believe that a boys tank top is notable cooler (as in temp) than a short sleeved shirt. I always thought one of the main reasons to wear them was to prevent a "farmer tan" or show off your arms.

If my boys asked to get/wear a tank shirt, I'd let them. But not for school. DS12 just got his first real basketball jersey and most of the kids in the small league wear t-shirts underneath. The younger kids are generally more likely not to wear a shirt underneath.

DS hates tank tops. Loves active wear though.

The older teen boys playing outside in my neighborhood in the summer are- that's probably where the llittle guys are seeing it. Kind of sweet actually.

OP here - wow, this thread took off Yes, I think any interest he'd have is from older boys in the neighborhood / at the pool or pro basketball players or something. I'm talking about these tanks, not the 'wife beater' kind mentioned earlier on.

Ok I’m not a fan of big labels but overall that’s a cute look, it doesn’t look low brow at all. But DCUM isn’t known for its fashion sense

Not a fan of the blue Under Armor shirt, but the white-and-black Nike outfit it cute!

My son also love athletic wear. He wears tank tops to sleep but not to school.
