Did you know that all men’s sleeveless shirts derived from women’s swimsuits with wide shoulder-straps? Fashion changed at times and the upper part of the swim suit has become an independent item of our wardrobe. The first vests were made of cotton, but nowadays it can be made of a wide range of fabrics like silk or jersey. Nowadays it is very popular to decorate vests with print and pictures.  It’s impossible to imagine that all those vests sold at our website have such a rich history.

A lot of people think that vests have become so common to us because of their popularization by famous rock superstars, who wore them during the concerts and shows. Rock star fans were the first ones to wear vests and tank tops in order to imitate their idols. Nevertheless, vests were often shown on our TV screens, mostly on men, beneficially accentuating their strong arms and chest and creating an impression of strength, braveness, courage and masculinity of the movie character.

Whatever the real origins of the vest it is very interesting to know, that except for the basic vests, like those you see at our online store at Empirestyle, there are also a lot of different names and different types of vests, which are especially popular among American and European fashionmongers. The first type is sleeveless shirt, the one that doesn’t have shoulder-straps and looks more like a mini-version of a T-shirt. Another kind of vest in the tank top, it’s a shirt with wide shoulder straps. It looks a bit aggressive but there’s no doubt that women wearing tank tops are brimming with sexuality and attract men.

Third type of vest is called a singlet, used more like underwear. It is usually a rather short vest with thin shoulder-straps. There are also spaghetti-strapped tank tops. The next type of vest is called a halter top, which is the same sleeveless shirt, but its strap goes around the neck and therefore the upper part of the back is left uncovered. A tube top is a vest without shoulder-straps and sleeves which practically looks like a tube that wraps the upper part of the body.
