For the Foreseeable Future, I'm Swapping T-Shirts for This Affordable Elevated Basic
While I love a good tee, I wear them a lot, and it gets kind of boring. But Hailey Bieber just inadvertently reminded me that it's time to dust off my tank tops again (and perhaps order a few new ones). While out in L.A. over the weekend, Bieber wore the elevated basic that's straight out of the '90s: a boatneck tank.
When you swap a T-shirt or scoop-neck tank top for a boatneck one, your outfit will instantly look chicer and more expensive in one fell swoop. I can't explain it—it just does. But while it may look expensive, there are actually tons of affordable boatneck tanks on the market in a wide variety of colors (and materials, but a nice structured knit is my favorite of the bunch).
If you're inspired by Bieber to order a new elevated basic, keep scrolling to shop my favorite boatneck tank tops from some of everyone's favorite brands.
