Why this item of clothing is more exciting than a generic tank top

The silhouette’s the same, but the effect is completely different. Why it’s worth stepping out of your comfort zone once in a while and swapping that good old tank top for a waistcoat.

Nowadays we rarely put time and thought into our outfit. Most mornings, we reach into our wardrobe, eyes half closed, and fish out the same items time and time again. A kind of uniform we feel good in because it’s familiar, tried and tested and uncomplicated. But sometimes, all it takes is a little thinking outside the box to truly change things up. Take the tank top, for example.

The classic suit waistcoat

The silhouette’s right, the arms bare. But instead of looking sporty, you’ll be giving off stylish and serious vibes with a waistcoat. But just the right amount of serious to still look cool if you’re pairing your top with baggy jeans in the style of Luciane Sakon. What more could you want in the summertime?

The casual waistcoats

You don’t necessarily need to go for a model that’s part of a trouser suit. Waistcoats made from denim, linen or bouclé also make for great tank top alternatives. All you need to do now, is find the one that’s right for you.
