Lands End tank top, which IRL has gigantic armholes.
Exactly! They hide the gigantic arm-holes. We need a side-shot!
I grabbed these 3 tank tops at REI (outdoor wear, not a cheap place, either) before we moved down here and probably didn't notice the arm-holes as I didn't try them on since they weren't fitted.
Yeah, I think these tops must be for workout wear. Certainly the tops I wear to the gym or run in, have very large armholes, but I wear a sports bra under them!! Surely people are not mistaking that type of top for regular street wear with a bra.
I've seen them all over (U.S.) with bras showing underneath. Ugh.
I am talking about wearing them in the house or just down at the pool. Without a bra.

REI? Pretty sure that tank tops from REI are athletic wear (I shop there frequently) and I would expect to wear a sports bra under them.
Ah, but in a society where two-thirds of women are overweight or obese, well, you need big armholes for big arms.
Sleeveless tops are one of my favorite items of clothing in the summer. But athletic tanks and regular casual streetwear tanks are completely different. I have never had an issue with "gigantic armholes" in my street clothing LOL. And I have fairly athletic arms - certainly not fat. I think folks must be confusing the two different styles - they have very different purposes.

Athletic tanks are generally meant to have a sports bra under them, and the arms are cut wide so there is range of motion for exercise or sports. The best casual streetwear tanks have some stretch to them. Years ago Fruit of the Loom made the best ribbed tanks in all kinds of colors. They had a little bit of lycra in them and were perfect for those of us with small or medium arms but large chests because the armholes didn't pull forward.
And then they stopped making them and now either use a different fabric or cut, and my choice is either to have stretched armholes that show part of the bra under my arm or walk around looking like "HERE ARE MY BOOBS, COME LOOK AT MY BOOBS! GET YOUR BOOBS HERE! BOOBS!"
