Sleeveless shirt

A sleeveless shirt is an upper-body garment with openings for the arms and no sleeves. It may be worn alone or layered over other clothing.

Tank top: A sleeveless shirt with shoulder straps and a neckline that leaves much of the arms exposed. This familiar subtype shows how strap width and arm openings shape a sleeveless shirt.
Athletic clothing: Clothing designed for physical exercise and sport. Sleeveless shirts are common when arm mobility and ventilation matter during exercise.
T-shirt: A knitted shirt with short sleeves and a round or shaped neckline. Its short sleeves distinguish it from a sleeveless shirt despite their similar casual use.
Undergarment: A garment worn next to the body beneath outer clothing. Sleeveless shirts developed and persisted in part as lightweight undergarments.
Muscle shirt: A sleeveless shirt with large armholes, commonly associated with athletic or casual wear. Its enlarged armholes distinguish one common cut from more covered styles.
Undershirt: A lightweight garment worn beneath another shirt to absorb sweat or add a layer. A sleeveless shirt can provide an underlayer without adding sleeve bulk.
Long-sleeved shirt: A shirt with sleeves extending down the arms, usually to the wrists. It offers arm coverage that a sleeveless shirt leaves absent.
Union suit: A one-piece knitted undergarment covering the torso and legs, popular in the late nineteenth century. Its evolution into separate underwear helped establish sleeveless undershirt forms.
Camise: A sleeveless undergarment or light top, often designed with narrow straps. This delicate form shows how sleeveless shirts can function as underwear or outerwear.
Basketball uniform: The standardized clothing worn by basketball players during a game. Its sleeveless jersey is a prominent sports-specific form of the garment.
