When it comes to the big trends for spring/summer expect the humble tank top to be front and centre. This accessible, affordable staple has become quite the must-have. It’s not surprising given how versatile it is. You can take one top and turn it into myriad outfits, all befitting different occasions. It’s also perfect for the warmer weather and can easily be layered with other pieces to combat transeasonal weather.
Like any good basic, the tank top is readily available in a rainbow of colours. Whilst it’s fun to inject a little colour into your wardrobe, if you want to get the most bang for your buck, then you definitely need to invest in two hues: white and black. Both will see you through the next few months with ease and can easily be dressed up or down. The range of outfits you can build with a tank is almost endless. Pair it with jeans and sneakers for an effortless off duty look, or a wide leg pant and slide for an easy, breezy resortwear vibe. If you want to dress it up, a tank worn underneath a blazer cool is cool personified.
There’s a range of different tank tops at various price points available, everything from designer to your local chain store which means you can invest as little or as much as you want into this trend. When choosing however, make sure you aim for a good quality cotton which can withstand multiple uses without losing its shape, something lighter cottons sometimes have trouble with.
So, get ready to unlock a range of different outfits with just one addition to your wardrobe.

Pop a tank on under suiting and you’re all set. It’s a particularly great option to wear under a suit as it’s fairly streamlined and won’t look bulky under a jacket or tucked into pants.

If suiting isn’t your thing, definitely still consider the tank as a top option under jackets. In this instance, this look is given a modern twist by wearing it with denim shorts.

Jeans, sneakers and a tank is one of the easiest pairings you can do. You can pretty much wear this outfit all year round so it’s a great one to have up your sleeve.

For those who want to push the fashion envelope a bit, embrace bike pants with a tank and shirt and you’re set. It’s also a great way to go from the gym to coffee or brunch without missing a beat.

As I’ve already mentioned, a black tank gets equal billing with a white one in any wardrobe. This monochrome look is great for a dressy yet still relaxed look.

A wide leg pant works beautifully with a tank as it helps to achieve some balance with the volume of the pants. A more nipped in silhouette up top complements a more billowy, relaxed fit bottom.
