Will Tank Tops Still be in Style in 2024?

The fashion world is an ever-evolving and changing pendulum. This week, you are ahead of the trends, and the next week, you are behind. One aspect that complicates what is considered trendy or not in the fashion industry is that “it” items go in and out of style. Staying on top of “it” items can be a full-time job in itself.

One thing is for sure: we can confidently say that whether you are a male or female, tank tops will be very much in style in 2024.

Ways to Style a Tank Top

Tank tops are overlooked articles of clothing within your wardrobe — but they are versatile. This is especially true for women, although not exclusive. They can be elegant but also used as your around-the-house loungewear. They can be an undershirt, or they can be the focal point of your entire ensemble.

Below are some of the different ways you can style a tank top — both professionally and casually.

Casual

In terms of casual tank top stylings, the world is your oyster. From the gym to the couch, you have no shortage of options for what type or style to go within the casual department. Below are some of our favorite informal tank top ideas:

• High-Waisted: Whether you choose a skirt, shorts, or pants, high-waisted is in. Part of their popularity is simple: they make your legs look longer. Tanks are the perfect option for complimenting your high-waisted apparel. Fashionistas are generally choosing to go the tucked-in route when it comes to high-waisted pairings;
• Sweater weather: Not only do sweaters look good, but they are also about as comfortable as it gets outside of your favorite pair of broken-in grey sweatpants. Sweaters and tanks go hand-in-hand;
• Oversized: Baggy is trendy at the moment. Having a baggy tank top tucked in or simply pairing your tank with an oversized pair of sweatpants or giant flannel could be the best thing for lounging at home or spending time with your friends;
• Cropped: Crop-top tanks are the crème de la crème when it comes to tank tops at the moment. From your favorite TV character to your local grocery store, crop-top tanks can be spotted as far as the eye can see. You can wear them underneath some form of overshirt or on their own.

Professional

When you think of tank tops, you can automatically think of a night out on the town with friends or a coverup for a day at the beach — this doesn’t have to be the case. Tank tops can truly be what ties together a professional (and comfy) outfit. While the workplace is becoming more and more progressive surrounding “what” is considered professional, you may want to err on the side of caution in terms of modesty in the workplace. Don’t let that discourage you, there is no shortage of modest tank tops to choose from.

Below are some simple professional tank top pairings:

• Tank + Blazer: If you work in a place where blazers are a requirement, it can take time to find a comfy, yet professional, option for the office. Whether a scoop neck or pleated tank with ruffles, pairing a tank top with your blazer can be a great statement piece. Many recommend that you tuck your tank top in, but some like the look of it untucked. Largely, just make sure your stomach is covered;
• Tank + Cardigan: Cardigans are one of the best ways to stay comfy, warm, and professional. Pair your favorite cardigan with a simple tank. You can leave your cardigan partially buttoned up, or you can go with the boho-chic unbuttoned tank and cardigan combo;
• Tank + Skirt: Skirts have been the staple of professional attire for women for years. Adding a tucked-in tank top to a pencil skirt, maxi skirt, or a-line skirt can be the exact professional duo you are looking for in your life;
• Tank + Scarf: While some may argue that scarves are on their way out, others would strongly disagree — especially within the professional realm. Whether cashmere, chiffon, or wool, consider adding a scarf to compliment your favorite tank;
• Tank + Cropped Pants: Alongside crop-tops, cropped pants have made their way back around the fashion cycle. Adding a belt to your high-waisted, cropped pants is a surefire way to set you apart in the office or at your next interview.

Last-Minute Tank Top Tips

Tank tops don’t have to be complicated attire, but there are some things to keep in mind:

• Consider the outfit and the fit. Not all tank tops will pair well with your outfit idea. For example, a ruffled, formal tank may not give you the boho look you are aiming for with your favorite flannel. Additionally, how the tank fits your body specifically should be something you factor into your choice. To elaborate, a loose-fitting technique may not be the best option for your high-waisted with a belt combo;
• While showing more skin is becoming more and more common, a general rule of thumb is that your tank top choice should be equal parts coverage and uncovered;
• It can be easy to think of tank tops exclusively as summer attire, but that most certainly is not the case. Tank tops are an all-season article of clothing that simply should not be boxed into just one season. While we aren’t encouraging you to trot through below-freezing temperatures in your go-to tank, we are urging you to consider them as an option outside the summer season.

Takeaway

In conclusion, tank tops are here to stay as a stylish and versatile fashion staple in 2024. Whether you’re going for a casual or professional look, there are endless possibilities for styling tank tops. From high-waisted bottoms to oversized and cropped options, you can create a wide range of outfits that suit your personal style. Tank tops can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for various occasions. Remember to consider the fit and outfit combination when choosing a tank top, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. Regardless of the season, tank tops are a timeless wardrobe essential that should not be limited to just one time of year. Embrace the comfort and versatility of tank tops and stay on-trend with this timeless fashion piece.
