7 cute no-fail tank and short combos we heart

Check these out, too...

  • Trends we heart: Americana
  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
Ever feel like you get totally tired of your go-to shorts and tanks in the summer? Us, too, which is why we’re showing ya seven new ways to rock what you’ve already got. Sweet!

 

Try a white graphic shirt + bright shorts

A simple white, loose tank with a bold graphic design always looks great paired with brightly colored shorts. You don’t need to match the shirt and shorts either--mismatched colors are this summer’s instant chic!

 

Left: Daydreamer LA Eye See All Tulip-Back Tank, $32, urbanoutfitters.com

 

Right: Fray Hem Destroyed Short, $15, wetseal.com

 

Denim tank + lacy shorts

The perfect pairing for that chambray sleeveless? Try something girly, like lacy white shorts. The bright innocent white paired with the rugged denim keeps everyone wondering whether you’re naughty or nice.

 

Left: Urban Renewal Racer Back Denim Shirt, $39, urbanoutfitters.com

 

Right: Start From The Bottom Ivory Lace Shorts, $37, lulus.com

 

Crochet tank + jean shorts

This nice girl outfit is so feminine and flirty that you know you’ll be catchin’ looks. The crochet top will keep you cool during the hot summer months!



Right: Jamie Natural Crochet Tank Top, $35, zumiez.com


Left: Dark Denim Midi Short, $37, ae.com

 

American flag tank + light jean shorts

Show your patriotism! An American flag tank can be really flattering, and when paired with light jean shorts, gives ya a laid-back country girl look. Yee-haw!

 

Left: Alternative USA Gauze Tunic Tank, $48, urbanoutfitters.com


Right: Light Wash Belted Short, $30, delias.com

 

Flowy sheer tank + floral patterned shorts

Another girly outfit, this focuses on the floral pattern: Perfect for daytime dates with the girls. The sheer top gives attitude to this otherwise quiet outfit. Pair with major wedges.

  


Right: Bella Ladies Sheer Rib Longer-Length Tank, $16, sears.com

 

Left: Floral Printed Shorts, $25, delias.com

 

Muscle tee + ripped shorts

Tired of being a girly girl? Slip into a muscle tee and a ripped up pair of denim shorties for a rugged look. Make sure to rock this look with cute boots, sandals, or a statement necklace to show your sense of style!

  

Right: Truly Madly Deeply French Cross Text Muscle Tank Top, $29, urbanoutfitters.com

 

Left: Roxy Blue Railroad Shorts, $40, pacsun.com

 

Patterned loose tank + patterned shorts

Want a way to channel your inner boho side? Put on these polka dotted shorts and a loose fitting patterned tank, tuck it in, and go! Tie together styles that seem incompatible with a cute gold necklace and bangles…you’ll look put together and indie cute!

    

Right: Lira Trees Coral Racerback Tank Top, $25, zumiez.com

 

Left: Billabong Lovvah Shorts, $45, pacsun.com

Love this trend! Patterned denim shorts are totally in, and so indie! I love wearing my patterned shorts with jean tops or just plain tanks. Adding a necklace to whatever shirt your wearing makes the plain shirt stand out.

Please check out my profile if you like fashion and/or need advice!
