I'm looking for a specific style of tank top & could use a hand.

The general style I'd like to find is like this - I think they are called square cut tanks, but they may have other names that would help me search.

I'm female, 5'6" and wear a M to a L in women's t-shirts (broad shoulders, large rib cage, small bust, long torso).

I ordered a pack of the linked tanks in a men's M - that seemed to correspond with my size best and I figured then after washing they would be long enough to tuck in easily or prevent belly gap with lower cut bottoms.

However, as you can see in the product pic, these are rather narrow at the top, which means the chest coverage is a bit on the scanty side. I also am finding them to be too high cut in the front and back - I'd prefer something lower, less likely to peek out of whatever I am wearing over it.

I like this style of tank a lot - they have wide, soft straps, and I generally like the square neck cut. They have no side seam, which makes them very comfortable. They are warm and soft.

I like ribbed cotton in general for this sort of thing. I've not had any luck finding these in a "women's" design, but again, I may not be searching right.

Any one know of where I should be looking?

Looks like the brand 2(x)ist makes a women's version. Available at Bloomingdale's online.

I really like the 2(x)ist men's square cut tanks. They are cut rather high, especially in the back, and (checking...) they do have a side seam, though I've never really noticed it until checking just now, so...
