I wear these daily under my dress shirts and also under any type of casual shirt. The correct terminology is sleeveless undershirt or athletic undershirt (A-shirt). The slang term wife-beater is a unacceptable.

It depends on which shirt. Snug sleevless tee = muscle shirt. White ribbed tank top = wife beater. Any other full length tank top I call a tank top. Showing the belly = belly shirt or crop top. I may or may not clarify with "spagetti" in front of any of those to signify that it has very thing string like straps (spagetti straps).
