5 Stylish Tank Tops for Women Over 40: Beyond Ordinary Basics

Tank tops used to be considered a very casual piece and a basic layering item, but over the years, they’ve evolved into much more than that.  Here are 5 tank tops for summer with a stand-alone style that is anything but ordinary!

1.  Silky Tank Top

The pretty pink tank is anything but basic, especially since it is crafted from this luxe, silky material. It’s a beautiful piece to wear layered under a jacket, worn with light wash blue jeans.

Add some silver sandals, a touch of jewelry, and you have a fabulous summer look.

Not all tank tops have scoop necks and skinny straps. This darling striped tank top with the ruffle neckline is a cute way to add a nautical twist to any summer outfit.

4.  Print Tank Top

The simple shape of this cute Chico’s tank top, with its scoop neck and narrow straps, is what we usually envision when we think of a tank top. However, the vibrant tropical print adds a touch of warmth and happiness, giving it a summery vibe.

Not only does this floral tank look cute, especially paired with white jeans, but it’s also stretchy and super comfortable. I’ve noticed the coral in the tank and found a pair of shoes that coordinate beautifully. A white bag is always fresh, and a denim jacket comes in handy in air-conditioned spaces!

 

 

5.  Crochet Tank Top

Here’s a pretty tank with a very feminine feel. This beautiful boho crochet tank top is very casual but looks dressy paired with cropped slim black pants, heels, and a chic bag for a sophisticated summer look. This tank would also be a great layering piece with a jacket. See more ways to wear crochet tops here!
