Layer it up
One of the easiest ways to take a simple tank top to the next level is by layering it up. Throw on a lacy bralette or a thin turtleneck underneath and pair it with your favorite blazer or denim jacket for a stylish and comfy look. You can also layer a flowy cardigan or sweater over your tank to add extra warmth and texture to your outfit.
Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
The key to elevating any basic outfit is by paying attention to the details, and this applies to tank tops as well. Add a trendy belt to cinch in your waist and create a flattering silhouette. Wear statement jewelry like chunky necklaces or bold earrings, or try out some layering gold chains and bracelets for a fashionable touch.
Play with prints and patterns
Just because your tank top is basic doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Mix things up by choosing a tank with a fun print or pattern that matches your style. Animal prints like leopard or snake, or classic florals, stripes or polka dots can easily elevate a simple tank top, making it look less basic and more put-together.
Try different textures and fabrics
Another way to make your basic tank top stylish is by trying out different fabrics and textures. A silky or satin tank top can easily give off an elegant vibe, whereas a tweed or velvet tank top can add a touch of sophistication. You can also opt for a lace or crochet tank top for a bohemian look, or a denim or leather tank top for a more edgy style.
Get creative with your bottoms and footwear
Finally, don’t forget to play with different bottoms and footwear to complement your tank top. Pair your tank top with high-waisted jeans to elongate your legs, or with a flowy maxi skirt for a romantic look. Dress up your tank top with a pair of chunky heels or keep it casual with some sneakers or sandals. The possibilities are endless!
