6 Ways To Wear A Black Tank

 

I recently realized that I need more well-made basics that I can dress up and wear out of the house during the summer. I have several old/cheap tank tops from Old Navy that I sleep in and wear almost daily in the summer out of necessity but I didn’t have any to wear in a nice outfit, so I started looking!

Both of these tank tops are from Sézane, and I’m wearing my larger size in both. I hesitated on buying $55 tank tops but I’m SO glad I did, Sézane has found the key to making a basic tank top soft, stretchy, and look effortlessly chic.

I can’t believe how good a square neck tank top looks - such a minor difference in neckline but a dramatic statement in an otherwise simple outfit! Tank top, pants are old from Everlane (I found these on ebay) shoes are also old, but I’ll link a similar pair here and here. My necklace is from Soko. (Aimee20 gets you 20% off!)

Pair the same tank with some linen shorts for a relaxed beach look, this simple top elevates any and everything! I also love to play with natural earth tones so you’ll see a lot of that in these 6 outfits. Tank top, My belt bag is by Able x Karla Reed and just might be my summer go-to. (It fits my iphone 12, my cards, chapstick and more!) Shorts are old from Vetta Capsule, linking similar affordable pairs here and here. Hat is Lack of Color linked here. Sandals are old, heres a similar pair and here.

All black may sound counterintuitive in the summer but when its a cool tank and the bottoms are linen, I say its perfect! I’m using the Able x Karla Reed belt part of the belt bag and I love the texture it brings to this monochrome look. Tank top. / Pants (fit true to size) / Shoes (fit true to size) wearing the purdy color.

Another tonal look, I almost blend into my wall here haha! When outfit colors feel more simple its the perfect opportunity to add interest with jewelry to elevate the outfit. This gorgeous choker necklace is from Soko as well (Aimee20) Tank top. Sandals are old, linking similar pairs here and here. Trousers are from Dissh linked here (get your larger size.)

I will be wearing this top on repeat (along with the white version) all summer long. It somehow manages to look elegant with or without jewelry layered on top, so it works both casually and dressed up! Tank top / Shorts also here. Sandals are old from Madewell, similar pair linked here. Bag linked here. Similar jacket linked here. Earrings.

The beauty of these tank tops are their day-to-night capability! I’ve been asked a few times what bra I wear with this style tank and I wear a strapless bra usually but a racerback would work just as well. I also love that the armpits don’t scoop down low and show your bra! Tank top / Jeans (size down) Sweater blazer is old from J.Crew (sophie open front blazer if you want to hunt it down secondhand) linking a similar one here. Heels are 1.State I bought on Poshmark but I’ll link a similar pair here.
