However, for it to come out nice, you have to know how to wear it right and style it right. With so many options, from basic whites to fashionable monogrammed tank tops, we'll take you through some essential rules to wear your tank, to flatter your outfit with pride.
Before we begin, let's explore the types of tanks you can get your hands on and style them!
Basic White Tank Tops: You can pair them with jeans, trousers, and cargo or jogger pants.
Athletic Tank Tops: Wear them with shorts, track pants, or sweatpants.
Cut-Out Tank Tops: These go well with gym bottoms like cropped leggings, stretched pants.
Backless Tank Tops: You can wear them with jeans or skirts and a nice pair of heels or boots.
Double Layer Tank Tops: The top will look best with denim shorts.
Halter Tank Tops: This is an amazing one to wear with denim! But it can also be worn with shorts or skirts. You can also wear them under a smart leather jacket.
Printed Tank Tops: Wear a printed tank top with jeans or plain pants.
Racer back Tank Tops: These styles look the best with shorts and high waist pants.
Spaghetti Strap Tank Tops: Pair them with denim, shorts, or you can try skirts!
Monogrammed Tank Tops: These tank tops are mostly used with denim, to give out a retro look. You can pair it with denim, white pants, and overalls!
Sheer Tank Top: You can wear them with skinny jeans, shorts or skirts. However, make sure you wear these at the right place and occasion. If you choose to create a style statement in the workplace, they may go for a top with sheer arms or shoulders, which when paired with a blazer is a chef's kiss!
Right, here’s the real deal!
Make it Fit Right
Depending on your body type, you will want the tank top to flatter your body. Just like your everyday t-shirts, they should fall just above your belt. You want to make sure the top doesn't hug your torso. You don't want to suffocate when trying to show off your cute outfit! And also avoid making it look inappropriate. Wearing a loose tank will also help prevent sweat buildups and save you from the awkward sweat stains! Make sure the straps of your tank aren't too thin or thick. Ideally, we suggest keeping it around three to four inches wide.
Don't Just Wear It to the Beach
Tank tops are not limited to beaches only! With the new trends and fashion emerging into social media, there's been a debunking of all sorts of accessories you can style your tank with! Who says you have to wear your tank top by itself? The possibilities are endless!
A plain white tank pairs well with pastel and light jackets. Style your denim jacket with a black plain tank. You can also mix and match the colors to come up with different styles. Try pairing it with a skirt, some earrings, and a floral jacket to give you elegance and class. Always switch it up with a different aesthetic and change your looks!
Consider the Event and Atmosphere
Tank tops are a necessity for the good-ol' summer vibes. But these vibes may clash with each other depending on where you are. We suggested wearing tank tops when you're going out to touch the sand and hit the waters, or out on a road trip with friends. You can even wear them for your gym sessions to work that body! However, we would suggest not to wear them in a formal event, unless you pair them with a suit which is honestly a hit-or-miss combination.
Showing Skin … But How Much?
No offense but, when it comes to tank tops, it is important to determine the amount of skin you're showing. Generally, don't exceed the limit of skin being showing up the belly button. And make sure the perky buds are hidden, that can be a huge turn-off for your overall outfits. The armholes of your tank should not descend further down your first rib and make sure your neckline is a few inches up your chest. Note, how much skin you'd be showing is all up to you. Choose the style depending on your comfort and don't let this general idea scare you!
Be prepared!
No matter how prepared you are to wear a tank top, there are bound to be some nuances. What tank you thought might look cute, may not fit well, the color may fade depending on how much you wash. It can be too revealing, in that case, keep your options open. You may have to alter, see if you can exchange, or even donate. We know this might have shifted the gear to the main focus, but pulling off an outfit comes with many decisions which need to be made for that fetch look!
Now using these rules, flaunt your tank like no other! Take on the summer trends, go all out! Keeping these rules in mind, you will never have to worry about having a fashion disaster with your top! Lastly, don't get intimidated to try combinations that may look absurd to think, but might become the next big hit!. Hope this article helped you gain some inspiration. Thank you for reading!
