The shirt has straps. Is it called suspender shirt? (Wrong!
Very Happy , just waiting for your correct one)

I'd call it a "tank top".

"Tank top."

Possibly a "spaghetti-strap tank".

Are you thinking of a "Wife Beater"? That's usually reserved for a shirt more like this:

Here we'd call it a singlet top.

Thank you all.

I knew "tank top", but the defintion from AHD got me confused:

tank top
n.
A sleeveless, tight-fitting, usually knit shirt with wide shoulder straps and no front opening.


It should be "narrow shoulder straps". Very Happy

That's why I specified "spaghetti-strap"...

Tank tops DO generally have wider straps -- say ~2 inches, more like in Piffka's pic -- but the yellow one would still be considered a tank top, with spaghetti straps (thin straps).
