The terms “fashion basic” and “style staple” are not always the clearest or the most objective. After all, what is an essential for one person may be a luxury for another. But in my experience, very few people can argue with the fact that tank tops (or vests to us Brits) remain a core part of our wardrobes all year round, particularly during the colder months. An extra layer is never a bad thing and the beloved vest doesn’t interfere with the pieces worn over the top. Whether you prefer to dress yours up with smart, tailored trousers, under a blazer or you’re simply feeling the chill, the tank top is one item of clothing that you’re sure to get plenty of wear of, whatever the season.
