If you’re looking for some new inspiration to spruce up your wardrobe as we head into summer, keep reading for eight ways we are styling a classic white tank top this season. The best part? Many of these items are probably sitting in your closet already.
1. With all white
You can’t go wrong with an all-white outfit if you want to look and feel put-together. There’s something so crisp and clean about a fresh white top paired with your favorite pair of slouchy white denim. This monochromatic fit is a quintessential summer look that wears from daytime to nighttime seamlessly—just swap out flats for heels for a more dressed-up look.
2. With your favorite jeans
A T-shirt and jeans is a notorious pair that you can’t go wrong with. You know the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” Well, this simple formula needs no fixing, but can be updated to feel fresh for 2024. Grab your favorite tank, pair with a good ol’ pair of blue jeans, and you’re good to go.
3. With a pair of tailored shorts
For days that are scorching hot but still require a put-together look, you can’t go wrong with a tank top and pair of tailored shorts. It gives the same put-together vibe of a T-shirt and trousers, but in a warm-weather friendly way. Complete the look with a belt, and you have a versatile base you can wear on repeat.
4. With a mini skirt
Grab your itty-bitty micro mini and take your denim skirt to new heights with a scoop neck tank favorite jacket jacket. If you can’t decide which jacket to wear, you can’t go wrong with denim on denim, especially on a warm summer day.
5. With a denim midi skirt
If the micro mini skirt isn’t your cup of tea, try styling a cotton-jersey tank with a denim midi skirt. The denim midi skirt took over last summer, and if you still have one sitting your closet, consider this the sign to break yours out. Pair the tank-and-skirt combo with your favorite sneakers or Western boots.
6. With a blazer
The classic ribbed tank can easily dressed up or down, which makes it the perfect item to keep in your capsule wardrobe. Headed to the club or a fancy date night out? Style a cropped tank with a sequin mini skirt and coordinating oversized blazer for a perfect out-on-the-town look.
