Moms what do you wear over your tank tops if you go to a restaurant or mall or theatre or somewhere? I have a small thing to throw on but I hate when the middle area(my stomach is bulging out. I would like something that buttons right in the stomache area or something. I sometimes wear a button up blouse but the tanks I just bought don't really match and it's too heavy.
Layer two tank tops. It works wonders. It will smooth you out and create style - leave one poking out a little under the other. I like to wear two for the opposite reason - it actually adds a little weight to me (or appears to)
A nice dressier "hoody" - you can find these at Old Navy or any department store.
LOFT and Old Navy had some really cute little cardigans this spring. Don't know if they're still there. Some of them had 3/4 sleeves, and some were practically short sleaves (in between shoulder and elbow) I bought a few and used them for teaching - they were perfect to take on and off depending on the temp in school. Lands End has come nice cardigans too - full length sleeve. I have about 4 of those and use them year round, especially in chilly restaurants and grocery stores in the summer!! (hate when people crank up that air conditioning!!)
I don't wear tank tops alone, I wear a cute little cardigan or blazer or like a loose low cut tunic type shirt over it.
How about a lightweight cardigan-type sweater? Just button it a couple buttons down and let it hang open, it will drape nicely.
I usually throw my tailored suit jackets over them or I saw some lovely printed sheer tops or even lace tops which need some kind of top under them. Perfect combination.
I recently decided I wasn't going to buy anymore tank tops that don't cover the belly. I need them to be longer because I really don't like fighting my clothes.
I layer the smaller tank tops over a longer t-shirt or tank top to avoid the tummy show, and a light sweater or jacket over it all in cooler weather.
Hi Cecilia-
I have a bunch of different colour cotton short sleeve shirts that I throw on over tanks...they do button in the front...but I am trying to cover my upper arms in need of some serious working out!
Best Luck!

I would have the tummy problem if my jeans were too tight or too low in the rise. That's the first solution! I wear tanks daily, looove the long ones at target for only $8! Yes to wearing two of them at a time, cardigans, tees, cute hoodies, Cute sheer tops, tunics, off the shoulder styles, and I also have a couple of cute vest type tops to wear with jeans and tanks in summer. Lightweight long scarves look cute too!
I never wear tanks alone...I hate my chubby upper arms! I will wear a denim blouse, a cardigan, a low V-neck Tshirt with sleeves....
Hi Melanie-
I know you posted this a few weeks ago, but I'll still add this link:
(My mom works at this store and there are pretty tops that cover up some of the tank top, but not all of it. I especially think the Gibson Open Cardigan is pretty for on top of fitted tank tops.) Around the house I wear the fitted tank tops with that have an elastic band around the breast area... not reall a great substitute for a bra... but it's okay for around the house. (Then when I go anywhere else I throw on something over these type of tank tops.)

i don't wear anything over tank tops unless the AC is too much in an indoor place. i get cute cardigans at banana republic. so a cardigan if you must wear something over it.
I don't wear anything over them. it looks great alone
