Men wearing vests (or not)

Another look from the backside !
Tank tops with thin long shoulder straps are my favorite style.




One more photo at the park:

I was struggling with the heat in Greece last week as some of my polo shirts were too thick. I considered wearing my sleeveless gym top, but in the end backed out, because ... I'd already broken one 'convention' by wearing speedos, and didn't feel confident to break another one. While the vast majority of women under 50 wore sleeveless tops there, hardly any men did.

The modern dress conventions is that men should not expose their upper legs or upper arms. T-shirts down to the elbows and shorts down to the knees is the standard of modesty we should all aspire to.

Struggling in Greece?Where were you staying in Greece then mate? I went to Greece on vacation for 7 years in a row, never felt any kind of pressure for wearing
something there, especially not speedos. There were lots of men who wore them there, everywhere I went to Greece there were bunch of males in them no matter of their age, from teenage guys to older guys. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't make a problem if you had apeared in a gym top. Where did you stay there?

Athens. Maybe it's different in the big city.

Go to Aegean or Ionian coast, cause the islands are mostly overcrowded in the season. Been twice in Athens though never to the beach.
My personal preferance Ionian coast because everything is probably the best of the best there is to offer in Greece.
Hope I didn't bore you to death, and you find some of this stuff helpful if you decide to plan another holiday in Greece!

I can't work out why these tops are called 'wife beaters'. Does leaving one's arms bare lead to violent action?
Then what happens if you're at the pool and you're wearing one of these with speedos? Does the shirt become a 'husband beater'? (The theory that only gay men wear speedos)

In an era where even the men digging up the road wore button down shirts with detachable collars, the vest was very much an item of underwear. A man lounging about the house in his vest would have been considered rather slovenly and should his wife complain no one would be surprised if she got beaten.

Yes, I wear tank tops most of the time and there is no problem in it.

Well, I am not sure about vest but I wear the tank tops most of the time at the gym. This is the perfect style.
