A tank dress is a summer staple that you can wear in multiple ways. What is a tank dress? It’s a dress that looks like an elongated tank top. It can be mini, midi, or maxi in length, bodycon or loose. Here are some chic tank dresses and how to style them this summer…
Summer Tank Dress Styles
Athletic Tank Dresses
If you’re looking for athleisure-style dresses, take a look at Lululemon’s Classic-Fit Cotton Blend Dress. The ribbed detail around the neck, the side slits, and the cotton-lyocell fabric give this dress a casual vibe.
Zella’s Gwen Ponte Knit Tank Dress has a drawstring to give your waist definition.
How to style: Just add your favorite white sneakers for an active day, or slip-on sandals for a relaxed one.
Dressy Tank Dresses
Tank dresses tend to be casual, but you’ll also find a few that you can wear to work, to dinner, or to a party.
Eileen Fisher’s Silk Sleeveless Dress has a loose fit (size down in this one).
Liysilk’s Bias Silk Maxi Dress is a more fitted option.
How to style: Add a lightweight cashmere wrap, heels, a gold clutch, and jewelry.
What If You Want To Cover Up Your Arms?
If you want to cover your arms consider adding a lightweight jacket or shirt over your dress. My eyelet blouse is from & Other Stories from last year and is shaped like a jacket.
You could also wear an oversized cotton or linen button-down shirt, tied at the waist. Just make sure your dress is fitted so that you don’t have excess fabric underneath the tied waist.
