Women's tank tops, ribbed, flowy or cotton
The women's tank top is the sleeveless top of summer: made from ribbed cotton for a sporty look, flowing with thin straps for a dressier outfit, available in white or black for layering. Among the brands available: Moss Copenhagen, Only, Urban Classics, KAFFE and Ichi.
A plain cotton tank top can be worn alone in hot weather or under an open shirt for the rest of the year.
Which women's vest to choose?
The women's vest with wide straps, made from ribbed cotton, gives a sporty and casual look. The vest with thin straps, flowing or satin, pairs well with a skirt or wide trousers. The racerback vest, more cut away, is suitable for sports and summer.
Ribbed or flowing vest?
The ribbed vest hugs the body and is worn tucked in; it fits under a shirt or cardigan. The flowing vest, made from viscose or satin, drapes freely and can be worn as a dressed-up top.
How to wear a vest?
Tucked into a skirt or high-waisted shorts, the vest creates a simple summer outfit. Under an open shirt, which you can choose from the tops and shirts, it extends the season. A white vest under a blazer gives a neat look.
What bra to wear under a vest?
Under a vest with thin straps, opt for a bra with removable straps or a discreet bralette. Under a vest with wide straps, a classic bra can easily be hidden. Some vests have a built-in bra.
How to care for a vest?
Wash it at 30 °C, inside out, and lay it flat to dry so the straps don’t stretch. A ribbed vest retains its shape better when washed with light clothing.

Frequently asked questions
Vest or cami: what's the difference?
The vest, made from cotton or knit, has wider straps and a sporty look. The cami, thinner, made from satin or lace with thin straps, comes from lingerie.
How to wear a vest in winter?
Under a cardigan, shirt, or blazer, as a first layer. A fine ribbed vest doesn’t add any bulk under a jumper.
Is a vest suitable for the office?
On its own, rarely. Under a jacket or cardigan, a plain and opaque vest works in most offices.
How to stop straps from slipping?
Choose the right size and adjustable straps. An adjustable strap helps prevent it from constantly riding up.
What size vest to take?
Your usual size for a fitted model; one size up for a loose vest that floats. Check that the armhole doesn’t gape.
