Wore them when ever I wore an undershirt for years. Rarely wore them without a shirt over them except to the gym. After I retired, I stopped wearing undershirts and underwear and got rid of all that I had.

Out in public, on adult men, they have a definite working-class look, in a way that is very different from a tank top. It depends on the desired look. And, have the body for them.
I wear a black undershirt with skinny jeans and black Levis canvas shoes. I've gotten compliments too. Also wear a black mod cap.

I think you would look amazing in even a dish towel buddy!
PJ would look stunning in a burlap bag.
Sorry, but I despise the term " wife-beater." I hated it even before #MeToo and all of the PC stuff. I just think the name is disgusting.
I'm not going to disagree what that. It is a bit of a repulsive term.

I don't like the word wife beater. Never did. Back in my day, it was called an "undershirt."

It is a degrading and offensive term. Especially sense it's more about climate in my opinion. Where it is especially hot for many months of the year, then I think they are more commonly worn by all dudes. I have been living in Belize lately and it is hot here to me even growing up in the South (US). Seemingly every guy wears them all the time. I think it's the lightest shirt available?
My wife says they look good on most men. Apparently especially if they have chest hair and start sweating. At least for her, that's not something she wants to see? Now I know why she tells me to put on a shirt when I have been working outside.

As a fashion choice... as in that's what you chose to wear just out and about or because that was the "Look" you were going for...my opinion is No.
I have high standards when it comes to clothes though. One of those polos and jeans / nice cargo shorts kinda guys or better. Laziest I get is good looking and fitting sweats that are all designed up and decent looking.
The wife beater isn't style to me, it just seems lazy and has way too many negative associations with the "look" itself that I'd just avoid it. Especially if you're in the dating game and actively indeed trying to put out those 1st impression vibes. Better to just not risk THAT being the 1st impression.
Best case scenario wear it to and from... and only to and from the beach / pool. But if your destination is anywhere else. Bring a tshirt or polo top along so you at least have something average or above lazy to throw on.
And the segments in X-Men movies where wolverine wears them is just because... hes wolverine... dude gets into close quarters blade fights 24/7 and bleeds on himself constantly. For HIM cheap and mass quantity clothing is his practical clothing... he is NOT to be your fashion standard haha.
A built guy in a hot tank....just sexy as fuck.
