ETYMOLOGY

The tank top was born in 1912 with the introduction of women's swimming in the Olympic games which were held in Stockholm at the time. Nowadays this activity takes place in a “swimming pool” however back then, it was known as a "swimming tank.” Female swimmers wore outfits then referred to as “tank suits,” in other words, a suit which was worn in the tank! The straps kept the suit up whilst giving female swimmers the freedom and ease of movement needed in order to compete. The tank top made the jump from intimate to desirable apparel when it found itself on the silver screen, first worn by Marlon Brando, who embodied the epitome of male virility, as Stanley Kowalski in “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1951. It has since transitioned across too many subcultures and garnered much popularity.

HOW TO WEAR IT/ FIT & SIZE

Formal

The must-have of this holiday season. The Cardinal Tank Top is an elegant upgrade from the traditional esential under-jacket top which perfectly contrasts against any satin or formal textures. With the ribbed like stitch detail and the hint of lurex in the mix.

Fashion

Accentuate your masculine appeal by wearing the Cardinal top instead of a conventional shirt for your next black tie event, and match it with the Smoker and Prince in black twill wool: match the right silk cummerband, in the Ink splatter or black silk color varieties , to complete the edgy yet very refined look.

Casual

Effortless animal print layering of the oversized Brieuc shirt, baggy Cardinal top and Fender trousers rolled up to the ankles: the trendy element is the contrast of the patterns.
