Best Ethical Tank Tops & Sleeveless Tops for Sustainable Summers

An ethical tank top for summer and your favourite shorts. Or a skirt. An elegant sleeveless top and some long trousers. Or underneath some dungarees. And why not add a blazer? 

Let’s help you find an ethical sleeveless top that you’ll be able to wear for many more summers while creating an endless variety of outfits.

Are sleeveless and tank tops the same?

Sleeveless and tank tops are pretty similar and often used interchangeably, but the latter tend to be more casual. Plus, both their neck and armholes are usually reinforced for extra durability. 

If they have super-thin straps, then they can also be called spaghetti tops.
