These 21 Tank Tops Are Ideal for Layering
As we’ve covered on the regular over the last few months, the tank top is undoubtedly one of the key wardrobe staples in any fashion person’s wardrobe. Honestly, it makes perfect sense given the basic’s versatile nature. While the piece is often worn on its own these days with Bermuda shorts or jeans, it will absolutely have a presence when the temperatures start to dip because it’s also A+ for layering.
In fact, there are actually quite the smattering of outfits on Instagram at the moment that feature chic layering tank tops. To highlight said looks further to either test out now or note down the road, I rounded up a few of my favorite ensembles that could pique your interest. I also rounded up the best tank tops as well in a variety of colors to suit every style.
Style tip: A tank teamed with joggers works flawlessly as is—and the look is taken to the next level with a trench for fall.
Style tip: Incorporate a slouchy blazer into your tank and denim combo for a polished silhouette.
Style tip: Toss on an oversized button-down shirt for a laid-back layered look with sweatshorts.
Style tip: A printed cardigan with a white tank and denim midi skirt is casual yet chic.
Style tip: Keep it classic with a tank and denim-on-denim.
Next, check out the best ribbed tank tops.
