The problem is, in my opinion, very very few men who wears those shirts have the body for it, and they look AWFUL, in my opinion, on anything but a superlative body, nothing soft or flabby. Just as I shouldn't wear a bikini in public (given my age and weight), most men should NOT be wearing sleeveless tanks. IMHO. And ... pretty much all the women I know in real life are on the same page, but I am part of the older, married set so allow for generational differences here.
I like my men in a well fitting, nicely tailored ensemble. Style less important than good fit and maintenance.
Agreed on the T-shirt, though I can "stomach"
a little softness in the middle. If a man has nice, developed shoulders, I like to see them. I like very broad-shouldered men, too, so that could be part of it. I'm hopelessly cliché!
I find myself (embarrassedly) checking out non-age-appropriate men all the time. (I'm 44.) I hope I do so in an unobtrusive and respectful way.
As for what I prefer a partner to wear? I have no preferences, I'd want him to be comfortable and to wear situation- and bodyshape-appropriate clothing.
Oh, and props for whoever mentioned kilts! Very nice on men with nice lower bods.
And now I feel gross, like I'm talking about cuts of meat...
