How do you know the difference between a tank top and a tank top lingerie?

Ihearya asked:


I buy lots of second hand stuff. But often I can’t tell if a tank top is a tank top or if it’s like those lingerie/undergarment things. Of course it’s not going to say so on the tag. Especially with those skinny, thin strap ones!!!

So if I can’t tell the difference, should I not worry about it and just wear it as a street “tank top”? Would anyone else notice? Thanks!

    well the lingerie tank tops usually have lace or are made of thin material.

    Lingerie usually has a silky texture. It often has a lot of lace and not too fitting.

    yeah, lingerie tops are normally lacy, and are really thin and made of little material.

    tank tops are usually like, thicker fabric.

    besides that, unless its like REALLY revealing or something it shouldn’t matter.

    If you can’t tell, then why should anyone else be able to? From what you’re saying, they look almost exactly the same, so it shouldn’t matter.

    they make them now that are supposed to look like the lingerie anyhow so i just wear them out as a tank top b/c i get them second hand and have the same problem, like i got htis black stretchy one with ivory lace around the top and bottom, it could go either way i guess but if i cant tell = no on eelse will either
