I wear a beater as an outer shirt all the time and at work whenever I can. I am a laborer and it is great in warm weather.

This may be a little off topic, but what’s your take on women who wear wife beaters? My sister is a huge fan of the inexpensive tanks.

Women in wife-beaters, well, that’s another story altogether.

And I think we all know what that means.

fascinating — thanks for the history! i was going to ask the same question as Hilary — and must wife beaters be a white tank top? i wonder if pink negates the whole definition.

I wear a wife beater almost everyday. I love them, you all should try them. They are so cheap and comfortable, and allow for a great tan!!!

Hil’s Sister is soooooooooooooooooo right. She is the coolest person ever. Do whatever she says. (Although she does sport them in multiple colors.)

And my question would be: what is the equivalent husband beater?

Is there a defining article that I–were I to even have a husband–should be walking away from?
