Sheer Black Tulle Fitted T-Shirt for Men - Eros

The wardrobe basic, veil edition

Round neck, short sleeves, fitted cut: on paper, the Eros t-shirt is the most classic of tops. Except it's cut from a sheer black tulle, the same as the whole Eros range from Anaïs for Men. The result: a garment that looks dressed from a distance and reveals your whole upper body as soon as someone gets close.

The brand made it close to the body, and that's what makes it a real piece of lingerie: the tulle clings to your pecs, shoulders and waist instead of hanging loose. The neckline, sleeves and hem are finished with a black piping that clearly outlines the shape.

Why you'll love it

More coverage than the tank top, just as revealing. The sleeves cover your upper arms, but the transparency stays total across the chest and back.

It really leaves the bedroom. With jeans and ankle boots, it's a night-out outfit that works anywhere the dress code is a bit loose.

A flattering cut. Fitted without squeezing, it underlines your build and waist, and the black slims the silhouette.

Gentle on the skin. The tulle is fine and supple: nothing like the scratchier feel of fishnet.

Matches the Eros boxer briefs. Together the two pieces make a sheer black outfit from head to waist, just like in the photos.

What it reveals

Your pecs and belly, hugged and visible through the sheer fabric.

Your arms, circled by the short sleeves edged in black.

Your back, completely visible under the veil.

Muscular, hairy, tattooed or fuller-figured: black tulle dresses every body without judging and puts each one in the spotlight.

How to wear it

• On a night out: over raw denim or faux leather trousers, tucked in to mark the waist.
• Under an open blazer: the chic and provocative contrast works at the club as well as the afterparty.
• With a chest harness: straps over the top, the fetish effect without going shirtless.
• With the Eros boxer briefs: for an at-home outfit that turns up the heat.
• At Pride or a festival: light and black, it goes with every accessory.

The seduction factor

The sheer t-shirt is the weapon of those who prefer to hint rather than show off. You stay dressed, and yet every glance at you goes straight through the fabric. That ambiguity is far more intriguing than a bare chest.

And when it's time to take it off, the tulle slides over your skin: a slow movement, over your head, that's part of the show.

Care

• Delicate cycle at 30 °C in a laundry bag, or hand wash in mild soapy water.
• Dry flat, so the shoulders don't get marked like they would on a hanger.
• Avoid the tumble dryer, fabric softener and bleach, which damage the elastane and dull the black.
• Fold it rather than cram it in, away from anything that snags: jewellery, Velcro, hooks.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Is this t-shirt completely sheer?

A: Yes. The tulle shows skin across the whole chest, back and sleeves. Only the finishing piping is opaque.

Q: How do I choose the size?

A: It comes in XXL. The cut is designed to be close to the body: it should hug, not hang. If you're after a loose top, that's not the spirit of this piece.

Q: What's the difference from the Eros tank top?

A: Same tulle, same black. The tank top has a racerback that leaves shoulders and arms bare; the t-shirt keeps short sleeves and a round neck, which makes it easier to wear around town under a jacket.

Q: Can you wear it outside the bedroom?

A: Yes, at the club, on a night out or at Pride. For a tamer venue, wear it under an open shirt or a jacket: only what you choose to show is visible.
