Last night, while out in Los Angeles attending a birthday party, Kendall Jenner stepped out wearing a skimpy dress with a colorful sketch print from Heaven by Marc Jacobs. She paired the curve-skimming slip with unlikely footwear—not a strappy heel nor a kitten heel—but a pair of Dorateymur croc-embossed leather boots. On her arm was a pared-back Acne shoulder bag. Bag and boots aside, the real head-turner here was that Jenner opted for a modest white tank top by Bassike as a layer underneath her skimpy dress.

This styling trick was a different take on the white tank top or rather, the tried-and-true secret weapon of supermodels. In the past, we’ve seen both Bella and Gigi Hadid as well as Jenner pair the easy white tank with jeans or trousers. (Along with the ’90s likes of Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford.) Yet, layering the tank under a dress with ready-to-snap flossy straps is an unorthodox trick and in Jenner’s case, a stellar addition to the otherwise barely-there ensemble. Here, the white tank top adds an artful balance to the tiny-slip-and-sturdy-boots combination.
