Style Staple - The Tank Top — Trendii

Okay, let’s talk about one of the top wardrobe essentials - the tank top. Probably one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Not only a great piece to wear in Spring/Summer, but also something you can layer in Autumn/Winter. I’m going to share my favourite types of tank tops & my go-to ways to style them!

The Basic

Starting off with an essential, the basic tank. My favourite type of basic tank are ribbed. At this point, the majority of my wardrobe staples are made of a ribbed fabric. They last such a long time and I personally feel the ribbed look elevates another wise basic item. Basic tank tops are one of my absolute favourite pieces to style. Wear casually with denim shorts or jeans, dress it up with some wide-leg pants, heels and a leather jacket. Another on-trend way to style a basic tank is by layering a cut out knit over top. Such an edgy yet chic look! Pair with a leather skirt or jeans for an easy outfit.

The Lace

Something a little bit more glam, a lace trim on a tank top is a great choice. I prefer to style this kind of tank by layering. Underneath a blazer is the perfect way to take your work outfit from day tonight. Swap your top for a silky lace tank & throw on some heels, you’re good to go! Also, wearing a lace tank under an off the shoulder top or jumper is a very cute look. Pair this kind of style with an aline skirt & some white sneakers for a perfect day time outfit!

The Roll Neck

One of my favourite pieces, the roll neck tank. The perfect layering piece for your winter wardrobe. You can style a roll neck tank with a pair of high waist, leather-look leggings, a wool coat & your fave pair of sneakers for a chic but comfy, everyday outfit! To wear more dressy, pair it with a blazer, leather mini skirt, some black tights & boots for an effortless, classy style.

The Statement

I love elevating a look by swapping out a plain tank for one that is a little more statement. Think, criss-cross details, one shoulder, or even a cutout. The type of tops can make your jeans and a nice top outfit so much better! A one-shoulder tank, with a pair of high waist, trousers & a pair of points is such a classy look perfect for a shopping day or add a blazer to wear to the office.

The Muscle

Ahh, the muscle tank. How could I not include this? One of my favourite trends of 2020 (yes, some good things actually came out of that year). The muscle tank took over the world of street style. Pairing a muscle tank with a pair of trousers, chunky school look shoes & gold accessories is a look that is so simple, but looks super edgy and cool. For a more chic look, I style mine with a leather skirt & heels.

The Silky

Last but certainly not least. The silky tank. A sure way to look elegant & put together. The silky tank is a must-have. You can easily dress up your favourite pair of jeans with a cowl neck silky tank & a pair of heels, giving you that perfect “Jeans and a nice top” look. This piece can be paired with almost anything and instantly look effortless, giving you the perfect business chic vibe.
