Tank tops are a timeless spring and summer staple. They can help you stay cool, and some of them are more stylish than other options! There is a tank top style for everyone! They are extremely versatile and simple to dress up or down, making them ideal for most wardrobes. Below, we’ve put together a list of the best women’s tank tops and styles to add to your closet.
Athletic
Whether you’re going to the gym (or just want to suggest that you might), an athletic tank is a comfortable, breathable option for those hot summer days. They are made specifically for exercise, so they have a different material base than other tank tops. They can be stretchy, loose, or well-fitted depending on the style.
If you’ve been working hard on those arms, don’t be afraid to show them off! This comfortable option can keep you cool while working out or working outside on a hot day.
Backless
Backless tank tops are a fancier option. Usually, these tops are not entirely backless. They may incorporate lacey backs to help class up your look. The back scoop may be entirely lacey, or it may have a lace strip across the top or bottom to help elevate an otherwise basic piece.
Whatever the case, make sure that you style it simply. You can pair it with a skirt if you’re feeling particularly fancy, but jeans work fine too. Heels or heeled boots complete the look but don’t forget to accessorize with a few simple jewellery pieces.
Classic
The classic white tank top is an essential fallback for every closet, especially a capsule wardrobe. These classic tanks can be made of t-shirt material, they can be ribbed, and straps can be of any width. Basic tank tops may be loose or skin-tight, and they might even have pockets on the front.
Essentially, everything about this top is variable. Change it up with different colors, and styles with jeans, cargo pants, or throw under a variety of different overshirts and outerwear. There are endless ways to style a classic tank, so don’t be afraid to try new things.
Thin Strap
Thin strap tanks, or spaghetti strap tanks, were popular during the early 2000s. In recent years, some celebrities have brought the trend back. This tank style comes in a variety of colors, materials, and more. They work best when styled under sheer tops or open blouses. The necklines work well with necklaces, too.
Cut-Out
While most tank tops are used as undershirts or bottom layers, the cut-out tank top is a middle layer. Usually, you want to wear another top, camisole, or tighter tank underneath. Cut-out tanks are
extremely loose and feature cut-out areas that show the top (or skin) beneath. There is no single, universal cutout location or style.
You can wear these tanks casually, but they also work great for going to the gym.
Graphic
Much like graphic tees, graphic tanks can make a statement, represent your favorite things, or support a cause. These tees are meant to be seen, so it’s best to choose a graphic tee that you can layer underneath a blazer or cardigan. You never want to use it as a basic layer under another blouse, because no one will be able to see your message.
Mix and match your different statements, graphics, and more! There are a ton of styles and options to choose from, and some companies even allow you to create personal designs.
Halters
The halter top is a consistently fashion-forward style that features a sleeveless design. A ‘collar’ holds the tank around your neck, leaving your entire shoulder and part of your back exposed. These tops are great for casual wear, parties, or just about any occasion. They look great under a leather jacket in colder months, or with denim shorts when it gets warmer.
Racerback
Racerback tank tops have a t-shaped strap in the back, making it easy to move your arms. Have a racerback top ready for arm day at the gym, or wear yours with high-waisted pants and an oversized, casual bag. Keep in mind that any type of bra will be visible on the back, so make sure to account for the design.
Conclusion
Tank tops are extremely versatile. There are so many different styles and options, and each is an important part of your wardrobe. Choose your favorite colors and styles to add some quick, easy variety to your closet!
