Ten Ways to Accessorize a Tank Top

Quick Tip

Some tank tops are simply just a little boring, but there are lots of ways to take care of the bore factor. Here are ten such ways!

  • Layer one color on top of another color for another. The tank tops could be the same cut or completely different.

  • Wear a brightly colored bra beneath a black or white tank top and be sure to allow the straps to show instead of trying to hide them.

  • Wear a funky bracelet. Do you own a charm bracelet or perhaps a series of bangles? It might be all you need.

  • Combine a pair of patterned summer pants in the same color family as the tank. Suddenly you have a designer look.

  • Pair the tank with a classic pair of shorts. That means no cut-offs. We are going for a more formal "old money" look.

  • Socks to match the tank shirt... actually you could go as wild as you please with your socks.

  • How about semi formal jewelry that would take the look from carefree to country club statis.

  • My last suggestion is a brand new hairstyle. Nothing can beat a makeover of any sort like a new style!

  • Embroider something that is completely YOU on your tank top. That leaves lots of options. All you have to do is learn a few embroidery stitches.

  • Wear a long or short sleeve blouse over the t-shirt. Summery white blouses are a great solution to a ho-hum tank top that has become boring.
