Victoria Beckham Just Showed Me the Classiest Way to Wear a Tank Top This Summer
This just in: Victoria Beckham just showed me the most grown-up and graceful way to wear a tank top right now.
This just in: tank tops really can look sophisticated, and the secret lies in the styling—and Victoria Beckham just came through with the tank top styling formula that only ever looks elegant.
Posing for a family photo, Victoria side-stepped her usual rotation of floor-grazing trousers and figure-skimming dresses, opting instead for a surprisingly casual foundation. Wearing a simple tank top that draped loosely over her frame, the designer picked up on one of the summer's most ubiquitous buys. Then, rather than reaching for the denim that often accompanies a tank top on warmer days—or even the silky separates you might instinctively choose for a dressier look—Beckham selected an elegant middle ground that gave her outfit an easy sense of polish.
Pairing her tank with mid-rise black tailored trousers, Victoria's choice introduced volume and movement without feeling fussy.
If you're looking to recreate the look, the key is choosing a tank top with a little more structure and drape. Styles crafted from satin blends, silk or lightweight woven fabrics naturally lend a more luxurious feel, whilst relaxed cotton or linen designs without stretch tend to skim the body rather than cling to it. From there, add a pair of fluid, tailored trousers to mirror Beckham's look, though a sleek cigarette-leg style would also look chic.
