Which style of tank top should you choose?

The style of your tank top is to be chosen according to your own style of course, but also according to what you want to do with it.

If you want to wear your tank top as a top, we advise you to choose it plain (white, gray or black) and roomy enough to be on trend. It is also possible to wear a printed, Wax, sailor or polka dot tank top, it's perfect to give an extra touch of style to your outfit. Lingerie-inspired tank tops, in satin or silk with a lace neckline, are still in vogue, as seen in particular on the Witt website.

On the other hand, if you prefer to wear your tank top under a shirt, with a cardigan, overalls or even a blazer, opt for a close-fitting plain. Finally, some tank tops, with lace at the neckline and a tight cut, go very well under tops with too deep a neckline.

Choosing the right tank top according to your morphology:our advice

Unlike the t-shirt, or any other top for that matter, the tank top has no sleeves. That is to say, it reveals your neck, your arms, your shoulders, your upper back, and, depending on the model, your neckline:so don't make a mistake when choosing it, and bet on the cut that will show you the most. Focus on the key points to consider when choosing a tank top.

Which straps to choose?

Skinny, wide or racerback? The tank top and its straps are available in many options, among which it is advisable to do a little sorting according to its morphology.

Very thin straps are reserved for thin and delicate backs and shoulders. In other words, avoid this model if you have a racer's back or very muscular arms (unless you're looking for a tank top to slip under your sweater of course).

Similarly, the racerback cut is more suitable for petite body types.

This format of suspenders will allow you to refine your upper body, by optical effect.

Which neckline?

In the world of tank tops, we generally distinguish the high collar from the open collar, and the round collar from the V-neck. The high collar reaches to the neck and is round. It is a shape that goes well with small breasts, but it is better to avoid when you have a generous breast, otherwise it will visually increase the volume. The open collar can be round or V-shaped, and looks good on everyone, as long as it's not too plunging.

Loose or tight?

The trend is more towards loose tank tops, even downright loose. However, if you want to wear your tank top under a shirt, overalls or even with slouchy jeans, the trend of the moment, opt for tight fitting instead. When in doubt, opt for a simple cotton tank top, close to the body but not tight, it will work in any case!
