Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and thus, all the summer fashion that comes with it. With the warmer weather upon us, you may see fit to throw caution to the wind, along with your sleeves. Enter the tank.

The preferred vestige of frat bros and landscapers need not be reserved for the trust-funded or zero-clearance lawnmower-riding masses. Tanks are cheap and easy to pair with your favorite jeans or shorts. They can be dressed up or down too, depending on the situation or temperature.

So step on a pop-top, blow out a flip-flop and throw on one of these bad boys. But first, a few caveats:

Modesty’s the best policy

This is counter-intuitive advice when dealing with a garment whose sole purpose is foist tickets to the gun show upon unwitting passersby. By now, you should possess at least a cursory knowledge of what you can and cannot wear. Obviously, if you’ve spent the winter and spring slogging it out at the gym, by all means, have yourself a tank.

If you’re a little self-conscious, we advise against the tank. In order to look good, you need to feel good. If you feel like a sausage, chances are you’ll be spewing your sausage vibes all over the pool party.

Keep it simple, stupid

Stick with two-tones and simple Su. Any sort of elaborate, sublimated designs will scream “Eighth grade is tough” far louder than “I’m edgy.”

Text is fine too, just keep it classy. We’ll take ACK Surf’s “American Made” tank over your standard boardwalk “DANCE SLEEP VODKA REPEAT” any day. Same goes for “SKY’S OUT, THIGHS OUT.”

Unless you’re Cheech Marin, no tie-dye either.

Frocket Boys

The BostInno Style Guide sure does love frockets, or front pockets, for the uninitiated. There isn’t a more understated yet effective way to put a little contrast in your look than a good frocket. You can’t go wrong checking out the the wide selection over at JackThreads.

Rule No. 1 of the frocket: don’t put anything in the frocket. No phone, no beer, nothing. Let the frocket simply exist.
