5 Ways To Wear Your White Tank Top Everywhere, Including The Office
From runway to reality, we show you 5 quick and easy ways to restyle the humble white tank top for every occasion!
By Aaron Kok -
It’s not surprising that we all have our fair share of white tank tops folded in our wardrobe drawers. After all, these versatile closet staples are usually worn at home to help us stay cool in the heat. Occasionally, we’ll pair it with a pair of denim shorts for a weekend brunch-plus-errands run.
If you’re nodding to all of what we just said, you’d be delighted to learn that fashion designers are also taking note of the ubiquitous white tank top, and giving it their own spin.
Whether it’s worn with jeans and a statement throw at Brandon Maxwell, or with leather pants at Chloe, the white tank top is making waves thanks to its effortlessness and versatility.
Here, we spotlight five of our fave ways the white tank top has been reimagined, and show you how to recreate the look!
Recreate the Bottega Veneta look by starting with a pair of classic black pants. We love these high waisted pants, as they are more flattering, and we opted to keep the look office appropriate with sensible pumps, a roomy tote and a mauve-coloured lipstick.
