    If you have a small bust, you can wear a strapless bra, or you can even just wear nipple covers under your tank top.
  • Question
    What should I do if someone keeps staring at my shoulders?
    Community Answer
    Just try to own it. They're shoulders, so they don't have any reason to stare unless you have a cool tattoo or something. If you're feeling brave, you can go up to them and ask why they're staring at your shoulders.
  • Question
    How can I get over feeling strange as a boy wearing tank tops?
    Community Answer
    Just own it! Think, "Yes, I am wearing this tank top - do you have a problem with it? Well, that's a shame for you if you do, 'cause I don't." If you really feel uncomfortable, try putting a flannel shirt or hoodie over the top. Flannel shirts are great because if it gets cold you can just button it up and you can get flannel shirts in different fabrics which have varying thicknesses.

    Why are bra straps, cleavage, and hairy armpits a problem?
    Community Answer
    They aren't, it is just social convention in most places not to display them, but you should do whatever you like and whatever makes you comfortable.
  • Question
    How do I stop my nipples from showing?
    Community Answer
    Wear a padded bra. Cooler weather can definitely make them pop out.
  • Question
    My tank top shows my cleavage, but I really want to wear it. Should I wear a cami under it that has a higher neck?
    Community Answer
    If you feel more comfortable wearing a cami underneath, then wear that. If you're comfortable not wearing a cami, then don't.
  • Question
    Could I use a tank top that I roll up instead of a bra?
    Community Answer
    You could but it may not give you the same amount of support, unless that is not an issue for you. However, compared to some bras it may be a lot more comfortable .
  • Question
    If I don't want to carry a jacket with me, can I use a rectangular scarf as a shawl with a tank top?
    Community Answer
    You can, but you're probably better off just to get a sweater or cardigan to wear with your tank tops.
  • Question
    Can boys wear camisoles?
    Community Answer
    They're not traditionally worn by boys, but there are certainly no laws about who can and cannot wear them (in most places). If you want to wear a camisole, go ahead!
