When crafting a chic summer capsule wardrobe, it can be tempting to include those irresistible It items. To name a few, Loewe’s raffia tote, Khaite’s mesh ballet flats, an Agolde denim maxi skirt, and more first come to mind. And while we’re sure there’s enough room in your closet to go around, nothing is as crucial (or as chic) in a summer wardrobe as a plain but perfect white tank top. The white tank has also had a runway rebrand as of late, with luxe labels from Gucci to Loewe cementing it as a certified cult item on and off the catwalk. Not to mention that the stylistic opportunities of this humble basic are endless. With summer just around the corner, we’re mapping out six white tank top outfits that you can wear on repeat all season long.

Vogue’s Top 10 White Tank Tops: 

Editor’s note: As with any wardrobe essential, the devil is in the detail, so make sure you hone in on the cuts and fabrics that will give the piece plenty of mileage. You can opt for a ’90s-square neckline, a plunging scoop, or a racer-back to add a sporty edge; and it’s best to go for fabrics that will give structure and stylish support. 

So this summer, what looks best with a tank top? Well, the answer is really anything, but more often than not, our go-to tank top outfit includes one denim item or more. Case in point: double-the-denim and style Khaite’s Argo oversize shirt atop The Row’s Ladas tank top. Then, complete the look with Alice & Olivia’s denim maxi skirt, and for a nod of nautical, fisherman sandals from Emme Parsons are a no-brainer. A white tank should also be the centerpiece of any vacation outfit idea. Simply style Gucci’s logo-fied tank with a Zara sarong-style skirt and macramé loafers from St. Agni for a resort-ready result. Linen is a must during the summer months—and H&M’s linen tank is the perfect placement underneath an Everlane off-white linen blazer. 

A bright blue button-up is another style staple we’re investing in this season. Get the look and layer The Row’s Sisea poplin shirt over Re/Done’s cult classic ribbed tank. Meanwhile, Ninety Percent’s tank is the epitome of cool and casual, especially when styled alongside a pair of drawstring pants from Toteme. Finally, for an elevated ensemble, tuck Nili Lotan’s Jennifer tank top into Chloé’s embellished midiskirt. Kitten heels from By Far don’t hurt, either. 

Below, discover six different ways to style a tank top this summer, all of which are totally timeless.

Nautical accessories, like Emme Parsons’s fisherman sandals and DeMellier’s raffia tote, complete the summer style to perfection.
