So this summer, what looks best with a tank top? Well, the answer is really anything, but more often than not, our go-to tank top outfit includes one denim item or more. For example, Banana Republic’s scoop-neck white ribbed tank gets a sophisticated spin when paired when Alaïa’s asymmetrical jean skirt and a pair of black ballet flats from Tove. Then, there’s Bottega Veneta’s splashy striped tee which adds a welcome pop of color to Loulou Studio’s straight-leg white jeans and Ancient Greek Sandal’s PVC flip flops.
Another stying tip? Sport your tanks, most of which will likely err on the more basic side, with the trending now. Think St. Agni’s little black tank with a pair of gingham mini shorts from Posse or Alex Mill’s nautical-inspired tank with Mango’s eyelet-detailed midiskirt. And just as easily as the staple can be dressed down, it works fabulously for fancier, evening occasions, too. Below, see how we style Loulou Studio’s slate gray tank with Róhe’s sequin midiskirt and The Row’s famed ’90s tote. As previously mentioned, logo tanks are sticking around for yet another fashion season. Our pick, you ask? Loewe’s new-and-improved white tank, of course, which is a chic closet mate alongside a pair of drawstring trousers from St. Agni and Simkhai’s red strappy sandals.
Below, discover ten different ways to style a tank top this summer, all of which are totally timeless—and just right for now.
The Classic White Ribbed Tank With a Denim Midiskirt
Banana Republic’s white ribbed tank top is the strongest separate of them all. Styling-wise, sport the certified closet classic with Alaïa’s asymmetrical jean skirt and a pair of soft leather black ballet flats from Tove. Then, complete the more minimally-minded look with Agmes’s pendant cord necklace.
The Cherry Red Cashmere Tank With a Pajama-Like Pant
La Ligne’s cherry red cashmere tank is sure to add a welcome splash of color to your summer capsule wardrobe. Style the staple with a pair of blue-and-white striped pajama-like pants from Helsa and Proenza Schouler’s embellished black sandals. Khaite’s two-toned canvas tote is an elegant finishing touch.
The Nautical Striped Tank With an Eyelet Midiskirt
The base of any nautical-inspired outfit should be Alex Mill’s blue-and-white striped tank top, which pairs perfectly with Mango’s white eyelet-trimmed midiskirt. Massimo Dutti’s macramé ballet flats emphasize the seaside aesthetic; and same goes for this dainty pearl necklace from Ragbag.
The Little Black Tank With a Must-Have Mini Short
Like a trusty LBD, Róhe’s little black tank top has endless closet appeal. For summer, you can catch us styling ours with Posse’s gingham mini shorts and a pair of mesh metallic flats from Mango. We also love how Tory Burch’s playful shell-adorned basket bag looks in the mix.
The Sleek Slate Gray With a Statement Sequin Skirt
Paris-based brand Loulou Studio is a must in any fashion insider’s closet—and especially this sleek slate gray tank top. Dress up the “basic” for those fancier summer scenarios with Róhe’s sequin midiskirt, The Row’s ’90s mini bag in a butter yellow, and a pair of python-effect ballet flats from Aeyde. As we said, the stylistic opportunities here are truly endless!
The New Logo Tank With a Drawstring Trouser
Hello, logo! The logo tank first reached cult status several seasons ago thanks to luxe labels like Prada, Gucci, and of course, Loewe. This season, style the new-and-improved It item with St. Agni’s wide-leg drawstring trousers and Simkhai’s statement-making heeled red sandals. Lié Studios’s bauble earrings tie the entire look together.
The Runway-Approved Tank With a Great White Jean
When it comes to fail-proof combinations, few beat the white T-shirt and jeans look. In this case, we’re reimagining the formula with Bottega Veneta’s colorful striped tank and a pair of white jeans from Loulou Studio. Masterfully minimal accessories, like Ancient Greek Sandal’s PVC flip flops and Isabel Marant’s cord belt, complete the summer style to perfection.
The Pointelle Pick With a Strappy Summer Sandal
Prairie dressing is another top trend we’re loving for summer—and at the forefront are delicate, dainty pointelle tank tops, like this one from Ulla Johnson. Keep things cool and style the sweet button-up with Wales Bonner’s knit midiskirt, a pair of chocolate brown sandals from A.Emery, and Manebi’s mini raffia tote.
The Cheerful Yellow With a Long-Line Bermuda Short
Mimic that festive summer feeling we all know and love in Proenza Schouler White Label’s cheerful yellow tank top. Styling-wise, polish things up in a pair of long-line Bermuda shorts from Wardrobe.NYC and Flattered’s tasseled penny loafers. Saint Laurent’s leopard print shoulder bag deserves the sartorial spotlight, too.
The Vogue-Editor Favorite With a Matching Suit Vest Set
With temperatures only continuing to rise, there’s no one answer to the daily question of what to wear to work during the summer season. A matching suit set certainly simplifies matters, and we’re loving Simkhai’s vest and pant duo. For some slight coverage, layer in Soldout.NYC’s racerback white tank—it’s a Vogue-editor fan favorite, after all. The Row’s charm-embellished sandals offer a sleek finishing touch with jewel-like detail.
