Fashion People Are Elevating Boring White Tanks by Wearing Them With This Elegant Skirt Trend Instead of Jeans

A white tank top with jeans is my go-to outfit formula. I can wear it to the office with a blazer and kitten heels or just with sneakers to meet a friend for coffee. Sometimes, however, the wardrobe staple feels a little boring or overdone, so I'm always looking for new ways to style the tank. Luckily, my fashion muse—Zoë Kravitz—just showcased an elegant way to do so.
For the promotion of her new film Caught Stealing, Kravitz was seen in Paris wearing a white tank with a raw hem that gave it a cropped and effortless look. To elevate the tank, she chose a low-rise satin maxi skirt with an A-line silhouette and paired it with open-toe heeled mules.

Although you might not normally think of combining a white tank with a satin skirt, the contrast between the casual top and elegant skirt creates visual interest. Plus, the look is perfect for fall since you can swap the open-toe mules for knee-high boots and add a sweater for a cozy, layered look.
If you're ready to change how you style your white tank tops, keep scrolling. I've rounded up the chicest satin maxi skirts to shop now along with the best white tank tops to pair with them.
