Men's Sheer Red Lace Tank Top - Brave

The tank top that dares lace

The tank top is arguably the most virile piece in a man's wardrobe: gym, building site, summer in the city. The Brave tank top by Anaïs for Men keeps that cut and tailors it in a sheer red floral lace, edged with a black braid at the neckline and armholes. The clash of codes is total, and that's exactly what makes it irresistible.

The armholes are wide and the back narrows between the shoulder blades, freeing the shoulders and upper back like a bodybuilding tank top. The floral pattern, smaller and tighter than on the range's bottoms, covers the torso with a red veil through which skin shows everywhere.

Anaïs for Men, a Polish brand of sexy men's lingerie made in Europe, designed this tank top to complete the bottoms of the Brave range. On its own, it works just as well.

Its strong points

A black braid that outlines your frame. The black border follows the neckline and armholes, and traces the outline of your shoulders. It gives the tank top a sharp structure and a strong contrast with the red.

Full transparency. The lace covers the whole torso but hides nothing: pecs, abs and back show through the flowers.

A sporty cut. Wide armholes and an open back: your arms are free, your shoulders bare, and the look stays masculine.

A fabric that follows the body. With 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, the lace stretches and hugs the torso without compressing.

A piece that mixes in. With a Brave bottom for a set, or over jeans to go out: it goes from bedroom to club with no trouble.

What it shows off

Your shoulders and arms. The black braid frames the shoulders and the wide armholes leave the arms completely free. If you work your upper body, this is the piece that shows it.

Your chest. Pecs and stomach show through the lace, framed by the red. Hairy chest or smooth, the effect works; on a hairy chest, the contrast is even stronger.

Your back. The open back shows off the shoulder blades and the nape, an area people too often forget to show.

How to wear it

• As a set with the Brave trunks: it's the pairing presented by the brand, red and black from head to thighs.
• With the Brave boxer briefs: for a coordinated outfit that's a bit more covering below.
• At the club or Pride: over black jeans or leather shorts, with boots.
• Under an open suit jacket: for a chic evening that isn't all that chic.
• For drag, cabaret or cross-dressing: red lace reads from afar and suits any character.

Sex appeal and confidence

A bare chest, you see every day in summer. A chest veiled in red lace, a lot less. The Brave tank top suggests instead of showing, and makes people want to take it off. It takes a little nerve the first time; after that, it's the kind of piece that changes how you walk into a room.

Care

• Hand wash in cold water, or machine wash in a mesh bag on a delicate 30 °C cycle.
• Don't wring the lace: press it and rinse it gently.
• No fabric softener, bleach, tumble dryer or iron.
• Dry flat, without a hanger so the shoulders don't lose their shape.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Is the tank top see-through?

A: Yes, across the whole surface. The floral lace lets skin show between the patterns, front and back. Only the black braid is opaque.

Q: Can you wear it outside the bedroom?

A: Absolutely. At the club, at Pride or at a party, it's worn on its own over jeans or shorts. It's a piece of lingerie that's happy to go out.

Q: Which sizes are available?

A: The Brave tank top comes in XXL and 3XL. The cut is close to the body; if you prefer a looser fall, go one size up from your usual size.

Q: What should I match it with?

A: With the Brave trunks, as in the brand's photos, or with the Brave boxer briefs. Same red lace, same spirit.
