Let’s face it, the spring season in Toronto is a little confusing. From a sunny warm Monday morning to a chilly afternoon with showers, it’s difficult to plan what to wear accordingly. Solution? Combine the one summer staple every Fashionista has in their closet: the tank top. Does the idea of a simple tank top frighten you at all? The flashbacks of running around in a tank top as a child may have some style enthusiasts pushing their tanks to the dark depths of their wardrobes, but have no fear, these pieces will have you channelling your inner six year old self whilst looking like polished Fashionista/o!
The comfortable piece can be styled in many ways beyond the usual warm summer day en route to the beach. This Fashionista chose to sport her stylish tank top on a cooler day in the city. Pairing her black cotton tank top with a buttoned-up collared blouse and black cropped-wide leg trousers created the exact opposite effect than many would think of when imagining the vibe a simple black tank can create. The bold decision to combine a comfort piece on top of a more structure piece created a mix of the perfect amount of minimalistic yet lavish vibe. To accessorize her neutral look, this Fashionista held a turquoise clutch to give the ensemble a pop of color to finish the look.
When it comes to the simple tank top, don’t be afraid to experiment with colors, patterns or lengths. The piece will become a staple in your closet that you can wear over and over in many ways, play around with styling and no one will ever notice that you style one piece through the summer.
How To: The first step in styling the perfect tank top ensemble is obviously choosing the tank. You can sport a classy black tank top, like this Fashionista, or you can opt for a colorful tank. Layer the tank over a long sleeved button-up, and trousers in your choice of color to create a timeless, perfect for any weather ensemble!
