Even before being a SAHM, I had a pretty neutral wardrobe. Since becoming a SAHM, I have only shopped once or twice for ME, and when I did, I picked up a simple black tank. BOTH TIMES. Why? First, they’re slimming. Second, these particular tanks were extremely comfortable. Third, they’re versatile. That’s the ticket!! I need a versatile wardrobe, and one that doesn’t take up too much room or cost too much. The first simple black tank I purchased came from Target. It was a bit looser and had a small chest pocket. I love that and have worn it weekly since I purchased it. You can find this exact one here. Or for a little more detail, here. The other simple tank I just picked up a few weekends ago from a bargain store in Nashville. I LOVE a good bargain, but this was what I call a “Blindside Bargain”. You know when you look for something in particular and NEVER find it? Well, a blindside bargain is the opposite. I was looking for nothing in particular, and this black tank jumped out at me and it was a STEAL! Boom. Boom. Maybe black is your color too, or grey or white (or all three). Lucky for you, these simple styles will go with any of those neutral color tops, be it a tank or t-shirt. These 5 simple styles will take you from the car rider lane all the way to date night! Enjoy! Here are five ways to style and wear a simple black tank:
Style 1: The Car Rider Lane
Let’s be honest. We don’t get dressed up for the drop off unless we are headed somewhere afterwards. This black tank, paired with a simple black yoga pant and tennis shoes are all you need to get you from the garage to school and back home again (with maybe a stop in between). These pants are my favorite, and I picked them up at the Gap outlet for only $12! Throw a hat on for that early morning bed head!
Style 2: Lunch with the Girls
Run home and grab a pair of skinny jeans and add a bright pair of flats or sandals and you’ve got a perfect, casual out-to-lunch look! You might want to switch out the hat though! Check out 8 simple ways to style hair here.
Style 3: Office Attire
Maybe your day consists of time in the office. No problem! Pair your tank with a sleek pencil skirt and neutral heels and you’re all set! Just make sure to tuck it in! Added bonus*-you can add jewelry (or lipstick) of any color for a little pop!
Style 4: Date Night
I love black and white ensembles. With a black tank, all you need is a pair of white jeans and bright, fun heels and you will look great for a night out with your guy or your gals! I LOVE these heels!! I picked them up for a wedding, thinking I would never wear them again, but I was SO wrong!
Style 5: Cool and Casual
Nothing says cool and casual like a pair of distressed jeans. I paired mine with my tank and some tennis shoes (flip flops would work too) for an extremely laid back afternoon at home, but it would also work for an errand run.
There you have it! One simple black tank that will take you all the way through your day. Now all you need to do is stay away from Cheetos fingers!
