Master “The White Tank Top Theory” With These Tips and Tricks
The trend cycle is often influenced by social media apps like TikTok, Pinterest, and Instagram, driving must-have products and styles. But the latest trend isn’t exactly something new, in fact, it’s something we all have in our closet: a white tank top. There’s been a video going around TikTok talking about “The White Tank Top Theory”: the idea that if you can style a simple white tank top into different fashionable outfits, then you are “that girl”. It’s a creative way to experiment with outfits in a sustainable manner because you only style a white tank top with clothes you already have in your closet!
White tank tops
Of course, the most essential piece of clothing you need for this look is a white tank top. If you don’t have one already, don’t worry—you can easily find it from any of your go-to brands! It’s important to find the kind of style you like the most. You can always go for a classic spaghetti strap, try a square neckline, or a racerback. When picking a white tank top, choose a flattering cut and neckline you feel the most confident wearing with every outfit.

Adding Layers
Layering can be tricky but there are so many unique ways to do it with just a white tank top. Try adding a cardigan or a button-up, and keep the top button closed for a styled look. You can also layer by adding another tank top in a different color or a sheer top. If you want to experiment with another layering technique, try adding scarves or skirts to the bottom half of your outfit.
