When warmer weather rolls around, we all want to do away with those sleeves. Enter: plus-size tank tops. The right tank top can deliver a flawless finish to any outfit—but we all need multiple styles for different occasions and it can be hard to know which styles to wear with which bottoms. But here at Dia & Co, we can help you figure out which women’s plus-size tank tops are right for you because we’re pros.
Long plus-size tank tops (AKA tunic tank tops) make great statement pieces that can act as the spotlight of your outfit or an easy top over workout gear. Wear tunic tank tops with bike shorts to give off that cute mini dress look while achieving comfy coverage. These longer tank tops for women also look amazing with skinny jeans of all styles and maxi skirts, especially during the spring.
Tank tops with empire waists make for really great flowy tank tops in spring and summer. If you want something with a little more detail, go for embroidered tank tops or tiered tank tops. All of these flowy styles look awesome with short shorts, jean shorts and skinny jeans alike, depending on the season. Flowy tank tops made of silk, linen or poplin offer a dressier alternative for special occasions, while ones made of cotton can be worn everyday.
For those who want a little feminine touch on their tank tops, one of our favorite trends is tank tops with ties at the shoulders. They make a great warm-weather substitute for tops with billowy or flared sleeves and can be styled in the same way.
Adjustable tank tops (AKA camisoles or camis) are really great for anyone who either needs more support or has a shorter torso. The adjustable straps over your shoulders will allow you to get a better fit. And if you just have a really hard time with traditional straps staying put over your shoulders, try racerback tank tops or tank tops with a criss-crossed back so you can move through every event with ease. Workout tank tops especially will stay up and offer great posture support when you opt for a racerback style or criss-cross back straps, though it’s always up to you and your personal workout style preference.
One little-talked-about fact is that tank tops are a year-round staple. Just like underwear, plus-size tank tops for layering can be an everyday wardrobe essential for extra comfort (like with sweatpants and under sweatshirts). You can wear camis and tanks under all your cardigan sweaters, pullover sweaters, button-down shirts and even dresses for extra warmth in the winter and fall. We love wearing camis as a base layer under our work tops, too, for confident coverage and support.
Feel free to play with fabrics, too. Ribbed tank tops and silk tank tops make great base layers as they both hold in warmth and can wick away moisture (depending on their fabric). When it comes to support, you can also find plus-size tank tops with a built-in bra. These camis can be worn alone under kimonos in the summer and under your everyday wardrobe, too.
