Summer Tank Dresses

From LoveToKnow Womens-Fashion

Summer tank dresses have a clean look, which means that if you have a limited budget, picking up a few of these is a smart move. Longer tank dresses can be worn to work with just a denim jacket or blazer thrown over, and a black tank dress can be dressed up for cocktails right after. Say hello to your new wardrobe favorite!

A tank dress can take you anywhere.

Different Summer Tank Dress Styles

Summer tank dresses come in a variety of looks, from the simple to the complicated. Have a peek at some of the most popular styles, and who they flatter.

  • Racerback: This traditional tank dress has an athletic-shaped back that keeps those straps from falling off your shoulders. It's great for hot weather when you are beachside, because it disguises many bikini top strap styles, including cross-backs and halters.
  • Spaghetti Straps: Slim straps are great to show off toned arms, and you can easily wear a strapless bra or bandeau bikini underneath to avoid showing straps.
  • Halter Styles: Halter tank dresses often feature detachable straps to allow you to go for a briefer look whenever you please. It's perfect for catching some sun, but be sure to buy your halter tank dress in the correct size to make sure it doesn't slip down.
  • Floaty Looks: Tank dresses aren't always fashioned in traditional jersey. Look for ones with that unmistakable tank shape, but fashioned in chiffon or silk. This light and floaty option is great for hourglass figures to show off their shape in a subtle fashion.
  • Underwired Bodices: Grab a tank with underwired, almost corseted structure to add curves for a nigh out. Try to balance the tight bodice with a somewhat modest neckline.
  • Maxi Tank Dresses: Your tank dress doesn't need to graze your knees—try a long maxi tank dress for a soft summer choice. It's great with gladiators for taller women, and you'll love wearing yours after you skip a leg shave while on vacation.

How Short Is Too Short?

Keep your tank dress mid-thigh or longer to avoid it looking too much like a shirt. A knee-length tank dress is a perfect pick if you are going to wear it regularly about town in the day. Keep in mind that your tank dress will need to be longer if you plan on belting it.

Styling Tips
  • Add a silk scarf around you neck if you are wearing a strapless tank dress.
  • Try platform sandals instead of flip-flops with your tank dress to add a more polished look to your outfit.
  • Stuck on purse ideas? A clutch is a good option that won't interfere with the overall effect of your dress.
  • Don't be afraid to mix waistcoats or vests with your tank dress for figure-conscious layering.
  • Try layering more than one tank dress on another in different lengths and colors. With a few well-chosen accessories to coordinate with your colors of choice, you will look put together and creative.
  • Buy a substantial tank dress in a thick jersey, and then pair with a tight, ruched skirt over top. Ta-da! That tank top has become a perfect layering option.

Where to Buy Your Tank Dress
  • Go to Victoria's Secret for lots of longline tank dresses to choose from, and at deeply discounted prices.
  • Head to ShopStyle and type in "tank dress" to shop at a variety of stores.
