If trends teach us anything, it is that fashion is one industry that is continuously evolving day by day and we just have to move with that train to catch up.

If you’re reading this article, I presume it is because you want to know how to pull off this trend to slay and I assure you that you have come to the right place.
So without further ado, let’s jump right in.
What are Tank Tops and Palazzo Pants?
Kicking off, let’s start by defining the two major ensembles in this discussion, which are Tank Tops and Palazzo Pants.
Tank tops are close-fitting sleeveless tops typically worn over a shirt or a blouse
Palazzo Pants are long unisex pants cut with a loose, wide leg that flares out from the waist. The major defining factor of palazzo pants is the wide leg and soft, light material.
How To Jump On The ‘’Tank Top and Palazzo Pants Trend’’ And Not Miss
Moving on, let’s look at 5 major points to take note of when jumping on this trend, so as to look like the mood board you had planned:
1. Tuck-in your tank tops

2. Layer them up

One can add a twist to this trend by layering the tank tops with either a sleek blazer, jacket, or whatsoever. By doing this, you have automatically created two different looks from the same fit.
3. Take note of your Accessorizing

One major accessory to put in mind is the neckpiece, this is to fill in the space of the low neckline of the tank top, you could decide to go with a neck bead or a neck chain for that. Other accessories like hand-chain, rings can also come into play. The whole point of accessorizing is to decorate the outfit in as many ways as possible.
4. Finish right with the right footwear

Pulling off this trend without a proper finishing is almost like a waste of outfit, you should therefore take proper note of your finishing. In this case, your finishing is your footwear, the best types of footwear to pair with palazzo pants are sneakers, boots, and loafers.
5. Play with colors

The whole point is to be creative about it and also to make sure you stand out as a stylish gent.
