Hardly any other piece of clothing has as much of a geek image as the tank top. It has to be said – because it is celebrating its comeback this fall and is suddenly really fashion. How to wear it We have a few tips. The sweater has about as much swag as the word “swag”: embarrassingly little . Why? Because somehow we still associate him with Olaf Schubert-type men, old politicians, teachers or teacher favorites. Perhaps also because it is so dysfunctional and still exudes Alman functionality : the sleeveless garment is neither a vest nor a sweater. You have to pull it over, which gives it more resemblance to an egg warmer than a jacket.
And yet the thing is celebrating a tough Reviva l – perhaps precisely because it is so unadjusted and different from what we usually have in our closets. We looked at the most beautiful Tank looks watched and five excellent ways found to wear a tank top without making a fool of himself:
1: Classic over the men’s shirt
How do you take the bourgeoisie from a garment? Either by deliberately “breaking” it with other elements – or by taking the bourgeoisie to the extreme. Second, it works great when you pair the sleeveless sweater with a classic white men’s shirt . In general, yes, we already know that from corduroy trousers, rain jackets and socks-in-sandals: What looks old-fashioned on grandpa, you can easily wear in 2020.
2 Emphatically oversized
You know it from hoodies, jeans and in general everything from the streetwear bubble: What “normal” cut might look a bit basic, looks immediately casual when we just wear it a few sizes larger . Also works well with a tank top: What body-hugging looks like a suburban Alman (no front, if that’s your look), looks a lot better when everything is a little looser .
What also helps when playing with the silhouette : Layering. For example, if the look is also combined with a cropped jacket or an extra long shirt.
3: tank top on bare skin
What can you use to fight honesty? Exactly, with bare skin . If you want to take the sadness out of the tank top, simply wear it with as little clothing as possible – for example as a mini dress or a top replacement.
4 As a style break with a dress or skirt
What does the classic tank top look have ? It usually looks like this: men’s shirt, tank top on top, jacket with it – and so that the legs don’t get too cold, classic pleated trousers. At least that is what all my chemistry, physics, and geography teachers looked like in high school. What is the greatest possible opposite of that? Exactly: a dress – the more colorful and garish, the better. In the best case, this is made of a shiny material such as satin, glitters or is made of (synthetic) leather .
That makes the tank top feminine, playful, young – in other words, everything you really want to miss in terms of modernity. What you’d better leave in the closet: The gray, calf-length knitted dress, because that’s about as bad as the pleated trousers look itself.
5 tone-on-tone or pattern over pattern
Those who wear tank tops can choose between minimalist and hypereclectic. That means: Anyone who likes the Scandi look and simple, monochrome outfits wears a tank top in the same color as the pants, jacket or the top that you wear underneath.
And those who like a little more excitement à la Gucci can simply combine wildly with each other: plaid with floral print, pastel colors with neon, logos and sequins . The nice thing about fashion is that you can just be yourself.
