Fashion Do's of Plus Size Tank Tops


DO dare to be bare this summer by going sleeveless! Many plus sized women are afraid to show their arms, but when done correctly a tank top can provide a slimming effect for those who want to stay cool in the warm weather. We recommend Jessica London for this item.


DO find tanks with wide straps. The key to creating a balanced illusion (and an overall slimming effect) is to avoid those tiny spaghetti strap tanks. Full figure women should never attempt to wear spaghetti straps. Even the skinniest of models end up appearing to have chunky arms with thin strapped clothing! They’re just not flattering for anyone. So, find a thick strap to get the most appealing look overall.We recommend Woman Within for this item.


DO take a plus size tank top into evening hours with the inclusion of a nice silk blouse. If you want to have the option of wearing only the tank, or being more covered during a night out, pair a black tank with an open blouse. This gives you the option of leaving the shirt on over the tank all night, or peeling off the blouse and getting more comfortable. We recommend Metrostyle for this item.


DO choose a cami when you want to wear a dressy plus size tank top. Camisoles are hot in fashion right now and can create a sexy look when added to something as simple as blue jeans and heels. We recommend Roamans for this item.


DO be brave and go for tanks in bold colors. Remember, black is not the only slimming color of the rainbow! Choosing colors that compliment your skin tone, hair and eyes is ideal. For example, a blue eyed lady should choose colors of blue to make her eyes appear even more stunning. A dark haired beauty might choose colors or red, green or gold to compliment her olive skin or deep locks. We recommend Lane Bryant for this item.


Style Don'ts of Plus Size Sleeveless Tops

DON'T ever wear a tank top that’s too large or too small. Thinking about grabbing your hubby’s tank? Forget about it! Never wear a man’s tank top because the arm holes are too large and will only add weight to your appearance. Instead, choose a feminine plus size tank top to get the best cut for all full figured women. That being said, never choose a tank that’s too small either. A tank should not show every bump when you sit down, but instead skim your body nicely.


DON'T forget to tan your arms before wearing a tank. We’re not talking about hitting the tanning bed and risking yourself with skin cancer. Grab a bottle of sunless tanner (the type that gives a gradual tan is best) and lather some on. When your arms are tan, they automatically look slimmer and sleeker.


DON'T forget that layering tanks can be quite flattering. Think about laying either a white or black tank on the bottom. This tank should be a size smaller than you’d normally buy. Then layer a tank in another color (bought in your normal size) over it. The effect can be terrifically slimming, especially if the tank underneath is longer than the top tank!
