The "wife beater" is so cliche... but it's a goooood one! smile

I like simple tank shots when they're put within a context. Again, it's cliche, but the sweaty, grime covered girl wearing a tank and working on a car? Yup. It's hot. Simplicity with a key prop can be good, too.

I'd shred it a bit roll around in the earth and such, mist the skin and then bleach the skin tones . . .

I'd get Caron Bernstein, the 1985 Supermodel of the World, to model it.

Here are two examples:

An old shot, but I still like it.

No one seems to notice the shirt, but it's here (very 18+)

If you want to get a little more daring, I like to cut them up... I have tons of wife beater shots but this is one of my faves...

I really have to know why they are called wife beaters? It sounds so wrong. Lol.

This is a genuine question.

I think they go very nicely with traditional cotton underpants, either white or prints, which gives the classic look of innocent sensuality.

Generally I think they're called that because they're associated with 'white trash' or trailer park types.

Okay, I've got one more. In truth, only one of them is wearing a wife beater, the other is wearing a nightshirt. But do you really care?

I took this around 1997 on film (Kodachrome).
The look is a bit aged now though - used to be popular.

You could always add some suspenders, a hat and gangster it up.

Lots of options:
--wet it (wet look, standing in the rain, in the shower, in a pond)
--get it dirty
--athletic (especially weight lifting, dance)
--use the texture to create an interesting composition (bodyscape...texture against skin, against other cloth with different texture)
--white trash look
--urban/wear with leather
--boudoir poses
--sleepy/in-bed/sunny Sunday morning surrounded by Sunday Times look
--strategically placed rips in the cloth
--swimsuit combo (wife beater top and bikini bottom)
--Cosplay or SciFi (alien--Sigourney Weaver....now you've just got to get the Alien)
--fashion (pair it with something that creates a startling juxtaposition)
--food stains while the model erotically licks her fingers clean from the chicken wings or some other finger food she's been eating

This sums up what I was going to mention. It's also a good canvas for paint.
