How to style tank tops for Spring/Summer | Warm weather tank top outfit ideas
For Spring/Summer try styling your tank top with:
- White pants with a gold chain or classic leather belt. Flat white slides or ballet pumps, a white leather shoulder bag, nude lips, sunglasses, a gold necklace, bracelet, and earrings complete the look.
- For the evening, just add white pumps or white strappy heel sandals, a red lip, red bag, and a white or black blazer if it’s cooler out.
- A chic black midi skirt and black heels, makes for a more sophisticated monochromatic black tank top outfit for lunch.
- Create a cohesive, monochromatic white tank top outfit with a white denim midi or maxi skirt with white flat slides and a straw or raffia bag. White looks fresh and more chic than blue denim for the summer.

- A tank top, jeans of any cut and color and flats will always be a classic, everyday style.

Givenchy tank top
I’d been looking for a designer tank top and a sleeveless stripe top for a while so this Givenchy tank top killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Like all designer tops, it’s expensive but knowing how much I’ll wear it makes it much better value. Plus I love the classic style and know I’ll wear it for years to come or at least until I spill my Aperol Spritz on it!
