Tank tops are a go-to every Spring and Summer. This year, the focus is on wide-strap, scoop-neck styles. All tank shapes are good though, from v-neck to crewneck, from cotton to lace and from simple to embellished. They are all wardrobe basics and great for keeping cool whether combined with light layers or not.
Just choose the right style of tank top for the occasion, be it a casual, athletic or dressy event. Also, be sure to choose tank tops that are not too tight or too loose. The right fit will give you a polished look.
When wearing a racerback tank top, choose a T-strap bra to avoid visible bra straps. If the straps still show, wear a black, colored, printed or lacy bra or bralette.
This post begins with styling basics and then gives outfit ideas for summer parties, classic summer looks and more. Age doesn’t matter.

Athleisure isn’t just about casual wear anymore. It began as wearing gym clothes as street wear. Then it became more and more about luxury comfort: first as dressed-up loungewear and now as elevated athleisure. This trend takes on a more polished and sophisticated edge that can be worn anywhere. Dressed-up athleisure is perfect for running errands, casual meetups, low-key travel days, or even business or day-to-evening events.
Think luxurious fabrics, tailored joggers, and sporty-chic jackets. It’s an excellent way to blend comfort with style. Age doesn’t matter.
You don’t actually have to be athletic to sport this trend (pun intended.) But you might feel fitter just by wearing these outfits. Who wouldn’t want that?

This Spring, the Goddess look rules with floating layers of diaphanous materials such as chiffon and cascades of romantic ruffles, lace and eyelet. As a normal American woman during what seems to be apocalyptic times, I’m not interested in buying extreme fanciful fashions.

Leather jackets continue to be a significant fashion trend this year, including in the Springtime. From oversized, slouchy styles to minimal, structured looks and bomber jackets, there is a wide variety for you to choose from. Age doesn’t matter; wear what you love. As I searched for examples for this post, I found mostly motorcycle jackets, but classic designs are definitely on the radar. So I’ve collected 45 classic and popular ways to wear a leather jacket.
At this time, we’re heading into milder weather when a leather jacket can cut the wind and be just the touch of warmth you need when you go outside. However, if it’s not enough you can always still layer. In the winter, wear this jacket under your coat. On warmer days, a light skirt or shorts and sandals can create the right balance.
You can get leather jackets nowadays in many colors beyond black, such as brown, burgundy, red, white or whatever you like.
Presently, the most popular footwear is moto-type boots or chunky sandals. But be your true self. You might like to dress up in heels or dress down in sneakers. If you choose the chunky or sneaker route, you can go anywhere in a beautiful maxi dress, a tulle skirt, etc.
For any of the leather jacket outfits in this post, try accessorizing with urban accessories and a soft, opulent scarf.
Below are ways to wear three types of leather jackets: classic, black and motorcycle styles.
All references to leather and suede in this post, as throughout my blog, are meant to be faux in order to be kind to animals.
