Trade Up Your Tank

The days of the plain old tank are tired and your summer look is due for an update, which is why UrbanMinx has collected their top tank styles to help you say no to bland basics.

Metallic Accents This Hale Bob Silk Charmeuse Top carries a taste of the exotic with antiqued metal beading set against a rich shade of cobalt. Banding around the base of the straps changes up the average shape generally attributed to tank styles, and the silhouette flows into a looser look than the conventional tank.

Bold Prints Styles like this Kowboys Berkley Tank stand on their own with eye-catching prints that can be anything from floral to burnout. The semi-sheer element makes it a prime layering piece, with a wide use of colors, making it easy to wear with a myriad of shades.

Rhinestones and Beading The accents found on tops like this Twisted Heart Berrylicious Tank are an easy way to accessorize your tank style without having to actually worry about choosing (or losing) jewelry. They infuse the tank with a natural glamour that is both eye-catching and effortless.

Ruffled Details No matter where applied or in what amount, ruffles will add a decided femininity to your tank like they do this KensieGirl Tank. It's recommended that the rule of 'less is more' be followed, as ruffles tend to emphasize the area their applied to, at the risk of broad shoulders, bellies, and busts being enhanced to an unflattering scale.

Buttons Sometimes a tank will have a small row of unassuming buttons set just below the neckline, or lined along a demure placket in the front, but if you really want to stand out in your tank style, you'll opt for something like this Bailey 44 Reign of Terror Tank. The buttons are the main feature of the tank, contrasting in color and size against the fabric to draw the eye.

Printed Graphics Printed graphics the most common detailing one sees on a tank, but that's because it's the kind of detail that with unlimited style opportunities, and is easily catered to the tastes of the wearer. This Superdry Mixer Print Tank is an ideal example, with a distressed, vintage style graphic wholly unique to this particular tank.

Embroidery Tops which incorporate embroidery like this Twisted Heart Flora Tank achieve an almost organic, old-world vibe with the incorporation of texture with style. The embroidery can either stand out in sharp contrast with the field in which it's been stitched, or blend in harmony with other accents. Either way, the stylization stands out.
