A T-back shirt is a tank top that is much narrower in the back than the front. The style for women varies greatly from those worn by men (primarily weightlifters). Female T-back shirts cover more of the back, are less narrow, and come together higher up the back, in general. Male shirts are designed to expose the shoulder blades, useful for men at the gym.
• A-shirt
The term "A-shirt," which is preferred by manufacturers,such as Hanes, is short for "athletic shirt" because it is often worn in sports, such as basketball and track-and-field events. In the United States, it is also known colloquially as a wife beater, Guinea tee, or Dago tee (from guinea and dago, ethnic slurs against Italians). In British English an A-shirt is known as a vest. (compare American usage of "vest".) Another term, used in Britain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, is singlet. In India, it is referred to as Baniyaan, Ganji. In Scots it is a semmit, In Colombia it is known as a busca pleitos meaning trouble seeker, in reference to its usage by violent individuals. In Spain they used to be called camiseta imperio (Imperial t-shirt). In Peru it is sometimes called "bividí" after the BVD brand.
In addition to athletic usage, A-shirts have traditionally been used as undershirts, especially with suits and dress shirts. They are sometimes worn alone without a dress shirt or top shirt during very warm and or humid weather; mainly in North America where the climate is warmer and more humid in the Summer. A-shirts may be worn alone under very casual settings, as lounge wear, and or while completing yardwork or other chores around the home.
