How to Style Your Midi Tank Dress for Every Occasion

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

I’ve got 99 problems and my go-to midi tank dress solves just about all of them. Not sure what in the world to wear to a date night? Midi tank dress. Want to look cute but also let my legs breathe in the Florida heat? Midi tank dress. Need to wear a fit that’ll easily transition from daytime to nighttime? Midi tank dress.

We love when fashion meets function, and styling a midi tank dress is the perfect solution when it comes to keeping fashion as effortless as possible. Take the guesswork out of your next impending outfit crisis. Here are six ways to style one of the most versatile pieces in your closet:

A Saturday morning at the farmers market:

striped midi dress / striped midi dress (plus size) / denim jacket / denim jacket (plus size) / leather backpack / gold hoops / round sunnies / white sneakers

A morning at the farmer’s market has never looked better. Couple a midi tank dress with a cropped denim jacket and sneakers for what might be the most put-together Saturday of all time. If we had to pick one outfit to wear on repeat until the end of time, this would be it.

A long-awaited girls’ night out:

scoop neck midi dress / scoop neck midi dress (plus size) / baguette bag / stiletto heels / herringbone necklace / hoop earrings

Rooftop drinks, a night out at the bar, or a fancy dinner with our besties is our idea of a good time, and we couldn’t do it without the help of the all-classic little black dress. Pair with gold jewelry, stiletto heels, and your favorite shoulder bag for a look you’ll return to again and again.

A weekday in the office:

ribbed jersey dress / midi dress (plus size) / plaid blazer / plaid blazer (plus size) / oversized tote / leather mules / rectangular sunglasses

After over a year of working from home, our tolerance for uncomfortable workwear is at an all-time low. When we transition back to the office, we’ll be reaching for our comfiest midi tank dress, pairing it with an oversized plaid blazer, and slipping on some leather mules that are just as comfortable as our WFH slippers.

An outdoor concert:

ribbed midi dress / ribbed midi dress (plus size) / leather backpack / aviator sunnies / white sneakers / layered necklace

We love an outdoor concert moment, and nothing pairs better with dancing the night away and singing at the top of your lungs quite as well as a midi tank dress, comfy sneakers, and aviator sunnies. It’s the perfect outfit formula for a night of drinks, bad dance moves, and your favorite band.

A downtown date night:

knit midi dress / midi dress (plus size) / leather moto jacket / leather moto jacket (plus size) / gold bracelets / shoulder bag / heeled sandals

Dressing up a midi dress by pairing it with a leather jacket and gold jewelry is the ultimate way to elevate your look for a fancy night out with your partner. She’s chic, she’s cool, and she’s a look we turn to time after time.

A mid-Sunday picnic in the park:

ribbed knit midi dress / midi dress (plus size) / claw clip / cat-eye sunnies / straw tote / slide sandals

For a mid-Sunday picnic in the park, keep things simple. Reach for your comfiest “might-actually-be-a-nightgown” midi dress and throw your hair up in a chic claw clip. Also grab a large straw tote to house your water bottle, your latest page-turning novel, and cat-eye sunnies that pair well with a day in the sun and obligatory people-watching.

We Love a Good Night-Out Look, and These 5 Outfit Formulas Are Our Go-Tos

Published on by Lee2 Comments

We all have that friend we run to when we need fashion advice. We are fashion editors, and many of our friends also work in the fashion industry and have a great sense of style on their own, so most of the time when it comes to what our friends and us want to wear, we’ve got it in the bag. That said, when it comes to a night-out look, we are the first people our friends call. We are somewhat of a guru and love a great evening look, so we rarely miss an opportunity to show off our collection of night-out outfits. This year, we have traveled more, visiting Los Angeles, Tulum, and Miami, and we have made it our mission to live up to and truly earn our self-appointed title as the night-outfit guru of the group. We’ve come up with five outfit formulas that help us do just that, and they guarantee we never miss. 

As we are someone who doesn’t believe in gatekeeping, keep scrolling to see the five night-out outfit formulas we swear by.

Matching Set + Mini Bag

This look is at the top of the list for a reason. A two-piece set is an easy no-brainer when you want to look put-together, stylish, and on-trend. Pairing this look with a mini bag adds a fun feel to the look overall. We’d wear this out dancing or for a vacation night out.

Minidress + Platform Heels

When we say this is our go-to, we mean this our go-to. We love a good mini dress, especially since some of us are petite at 4’9″-5’3″. We are about anything that we can wear to make our legs look a little longer. It takes us to platform shoes. If you’re on the shorter side, you’ll soon be loving these extra-tall heels. We know they may look intimidating but trust us—they’re easier to walk in than you think. We wore these platform heels pictured about for two nights out back-to-back in Miami, and we danced the night away without pain.

Miniskirt + Boots

Calling all Y2K-aesthetic lovers. A great mini skirt paired with knee-high boots always adds a little sexy and is the perfect summer-to-fall transition look. We would wear this outfit out in New York City.

Beaded Top + Pants

A beaded top is always a head-turner, and we are obsessed with styling it with a pair of loose-fitting pants. They balance each other out. The romance and prettiness of a beaded top paired with the casual bagginess of loose-fitted trousers are just so cool. We want to wear this look out in Spain.

We didn’t expect to be such a big fan of sequins, but this summer, we can’t get enough. We are loving the celebratory vibes that a sparkly element adds to a look. Whether you go for a full-on sparkly dress or are just adding a touch of sparkle with shoes or a bag, we have a feeling we’ll be seeing this glittery trend up until fall.

8 “In-Betweener” Influencers to Follow For Mid-Size Fashion Inspiration

Published on by Lee2 Comments

We know we’re not alone when we say our relationship with fashion is more of a love-hate situation. For example, we love keeping up with the trend and putting outfits together. We hate when brands don’t make our size, or make it but only show their clothes on one body type letting the rest of us guess what a garment might look like on someone like us. The lack of representation of different body types has been an issue for a long time, and a slightly less discussed group that’s often left out are folks who might identify as in-betweeners.

For some reason, those who fall somewhere in the middle of the clothing-size spectrum — maybe they wear mediums and larges or hit the far end of straight sizing without fitting into “plus” — tend to get looked over. How often do we browse a site and see clothing on someone who’s a size 8 or 10? Or spot a mid-size model on the runway? It’s rare, and yes, it’s weird, especially since a good amount of people fall into this category.

Thankfully, there are plenty of influencers out there who don’t mind picking up the slack. They express their style, share shopping recommendations and fashion hacks, and provide plenty of outfit ideas for anyone else who falls in between those elusive model body types of “sample” and “curve.” So, if you’ve ever wondered “but, what will that look like on me?!” while checking out the latest designs, here are eight mid-size women you should follow, ASAP.

Noelle Downing

Why You Should Follow Her:

Downing isn’t afraid to be honest, talking openly about self-love and body positivity. She always has cute and budget-friendly clothing recommendations, too, whether you’re in search of some classic denim, a flattering swimsuit, or a matching loungewear set.

Courtney Quinn

Why You Should Follow Her:

Color! Puff sleeves! Tulle! There’s so much whimsy going on in Quinn’s wardrobe, and she makes the most outrageous designs seem completely wearable. She clearly has fun putting together her outfits, and her combinations are so creative, they almost qualify as works of art.

Holly Ah-Thion

Why You Should Follow Her:

Not only does UK-based Ah-Thion highlight that she’s mid-size in her bio, but she’s also petite, which presents its own set of struggles when it comes to finding clothes that fit (ugh, long pants). Still, she completely nails every ’90s- and ’00s-inspired trend, and is ahead of the game on new ones, showing us how to pull off everything from pully tops to big collars.

Kristle Lauren

Why You Should Follow Her:

Sometimes, influencers pose in pieces that feel a bit too extreme and over-the-top for everyday wear, but that’s where Kristle comes in. She knows how to make the most of simple basics, creating completely wearable yet fashion-forward outfits that’ll work for whatever you have planned. Not only does Texas-based Kristle Lauren highlight that she’s mid-size in her bio but she highlights all her fits and where you can get them on her blog. So thank you ♡

Abi Nunn

https://www.instagram.com/p/CMWloM6h-hL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Why You Should Follow Her:

Do you love prints? And color? And want fashion formulas that are quick and easy but not boring? Then you might find yourself captivated by all the cool, vibrant outfits on Nunn’s IG. She’ll show you simple swaps that’ll fully transform your ensembles, such as trading black leggings for a shiny pink pair and doesn’t shy away from embracing nostalgic trends, whether it’s a cardigan set or a baguette bag.

Lois Opoku

Why You Should Follow Her:

So much of what Opoku wears can be described with one word: versatility. While she has a set style, full of structured items, prints, and bits of leather, many of her outfits would work for a variety of scenarios, whether it’s a dressy date night or a day at the office.

Charlotte Emily Price

Why You Should Follow Her:

Price has found that sweet spot between cute and comfortable, often finding ways to elevate your average oversized shirt and pair of sweats. But, on top of sharing her top-notch outfit ideas (along with sexy lingerie picks!), she’s also spoken out about toxic positivity, reminding people it’s impossible to feel confident and great about our looks 24/7 while suggesting a goal of body neutrality instead.

Chloe Pavlou

Why You Should Follow Her:

A quick scroll through Pavlou’s pictures and you’ll find she excels at styling one piece in particular: The classic graphic tee. Her best outfits prove this piece can be layered in multiple ways, paired with almost any bottom, and amped up with accessories. You’ll start to see your collection in a whole new light.
