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.
