Ask any fashion editor which single item of clothing they couldn’t live without, and chances are they will name-check a basic: a white T-shirt, the perfect pair of jeans, a cashmere jumper. Well, if team Vogue’s summer work outfits are anything to go by, the humble tank top is the latest foundational piece to earn a spot in the fashion hall of fame.
The tank top made a number of appearances on designer runways this year: paired with slouchy jeans at Bottega Veneta, elevated with leather trousers at Chloé and given a Noughties spin with a midi skirt at Miu Miu. The designer logo tank top has also been gaining traction, with both Prada and Loewe embellishing the wardrobe basic with their iconic insignia. Loewe’s has already sold out, and we have a feeling Prada’s autumn/winter 2022 iteration will go the same way.
In the meantime, we’ve put our heads together to come up with four easy tank top outfits that you can recreate this summer. It’s all about bringing that new spin on a classic.

Tank top + striped trousers + platform sandals
Elevate your weekend style game with a pair of comfy striped trousers and Arket’s ribbed tank top. Just finish the look with cult accessories: namely Balenciaga’s chunky-soled sandals and a Prada raffia bag.
Double denim + tank top + knotted scarf
Bring some Wild West appeal to your summer wardrobe with a hit of double denim. Totême’s simple white tank will layer beautifully under an oversized denim jacket and straight leg jeans — all it needs is a colour-pop red neckerchief to truly shine.
Tank top + pleated midi skirt + kitten heels
Tank top + cargo trousers + velcro sandals
A tank top and cargo trousers are a match made in heaven, and a great alternative to a simple T-shirt and jeans. H&M’s beige pair have just the right amount of slouch, and will look beyond cool with Loewe’s rainbow-hued velcro sandals.
