Anyone who knows me will tell you how much I love a good tank top. I'm picky about them, absolutely, but when I find one I really like, I'll wear it again and again. I only really have one gripe about the summertime wardrobe essential: At times, they can be more boring than fun, and during the short period when New York City is hot, sunny, and at its most lively, fun is exactly the look and energy I'm going for when I get dressed every morning. Recently, though (just in time for peak summer, I might add), a tank top hit the market that changes everything, eliminating any semblance of doubt about tank tops being the ultimate warm-weather basic.
The tank top in question is from Tory Burch, courtesy of the New York brand's summer collection, and comes in two colors: black and white. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. In theory, these tank tops are just like the ones in your closet, but in reality, these ones feature a very specific detail that no other strapless shirt I've seen on the market has: a removable flower embellishment brooch. The black version has a hot-pink pin, while the white comes with a canary-yellow pin, with both options already becoming favorites among fashion's coolest dressers.

For anyone who can't currently spend close to $300 on a tank top, I get it, which is why I went searching for alternative ways to dress up the simple shirt for less. And unless you're completely adverse to a quick morning spent DIYing, I think I found just the solution. From Etsy to Zara, there's a seemingly endless supply of unique, flower-like brooches and pins on the market for people like us to choose from and attach to our tank tops all summer long. There are silky roses, genuine-looking tulips, and large ostrich-feather versions that look almost more like deep-sea creatures than flowers (but I digress). And while yes, some are supposed to be hair clips, that shouldn't stop anyone with determination from pulling off this summer's coolest and most unique trend.
