To be inspired by your grandma's wardrobe is a tip that the greats of the fashion scene are already taking to heart. Whether patchwork cardigans, pleated skirts, wool hats or ruffled blouses: the so-called granny style can – well dosed – tanks look super cool.
A tank top is an ideal choice for boiling temperatures of summer season and you can find a fabulous design completed in wild prints and crazy textures. I think there is no trendy look that can beat a tank top and jeans combination. Why? Simply because we can live in tank tops all year round. For spring, the mixed form of vest and sweater can be combined particularly well with maxi dresses. They immediately lend a cozy touch. You can also wear tank tops with cool layering pieces, or you can go date-night sexy by wearing a cropped tank top with street style appropriate garments. You can try it underneath a jacket or a cool sweater for a cozy update. The styling options are endless.
Keep reading to see why the stylish knitted piece should be at the top of your shopping list right now.
Tank Tops #1: A welcome companion for the transition period
Fluctuating temperatures in springtime are often a major challenge for us and our choice of outfit. It is not uncommon for us to dress either too cold or too warm, only to realize the weather outside has changed. A tank top is a perfect companion here. It can be pulled over dresses, blouses and shirts quickly and easily and is just as quick to put down again. And bizarre but true – tank tops can be rolled and easily carried in your purse for an emergency outfit!
Tank Tops #2: In a layering look, we defy cold winter days
When the temperatures are below zero, the layering look (yes the one that’s also called the Onion look) has already proven itself. The tank top is the perfect choice to go under winter jackets. Without sleeves, tank tops offer the necessary freedom of movement that some chunky sweaters cannot give us. You might be surprised to know that a tank top with a turtleneck is also ideal as it replaces a scarf and provides an extra portion of warmth on the neck and shoulders.
Tank Tops #3: Super casual with leather pants and a cotton blouse
A tank top unfolds its full coolness factor in particular when it comes to a break in style with items of clothing that you would not have expected with it. This includes a pair of leather pants in coffee brown or black. Depending on the outfit, it also looks cool when the upper part – such as an oversized blouse peeps out from under the tank top. Alternatively, the knitted piece can also be tucked into the waistband for an emphasized waist.
Tank Tops #4: Frill Tank with Jeans
It’s all about the details. Frills and ruffles can make even the most basic piece stand out. The same goes with a tank top. Smocking on the bodice and ruffled straps transform the staple into a showstopper. The pretty floral print or a plain white number with shoulder ties is another great summer 2021 fashion trend. It can easily be dressed up or down, going from picnic in the park with denim shorts to cocktail hour with a sleek skirt.
