There’s one piece of clothing I’ll always turn to daily when it’s finally warm out: a white tank top. I love a crisp white ribbed tank to pair with literally any type of bottoms. I don’t tend to dress my tank up, but after seeing Anya Taylor-Joy’s recent outfit while out in Los Angeles, I had a change of heart.

She stepped out for a date night with her husband, Malcolm McRae, looking like an absolute L.A. cool girl. The focal point of her outfit was a plain white tank top, but she made it look much more interesting than usual. All she did was layer one simple item to her outfit look chicer and trendier: a knit shrug, and it made a major difference in her outfit. To dress it up even more, she wore a teal satin skirt and satin high-heel mules. Her tank went from basic to cool instantly, thanks to the shrug she opted to layer over it. It’s a chic and easy outfit that I will be copying once I feel an inkling of the sun’s warmth.
