As we’ve covered on the regular over the last few months, the tank top is undoubtedly one of the key wardrobe staples in any fashion person’s wardrobe. Honestly, it makes perfect sense given the basic’s versatile nature. While the piece is often worn on its own these days with Bermuda shorts or jeans, it will absolutely have a presence when the temperatures start to dip because it’s also A+ for layering.
