One night, Mandy woke near dawn to see her father yanking open her bureau drawers. He stuffed a duffelbag with her tank tops and jeans.

It was one of those insanely hot and muggy July days, and my friend s and I were walking on St. Mark's Street, sweaty even in tank tops and skirts.

Some feature a racerback style back which is great for wear with tank tops and for lending a no-slip effect to the straps.
