Trend Spotlight: Embellished Tank Tops

Transform your simple summer looks into something with immediate pizzazz and moxie, courtesy of the fabulous embellished tank top. Fairly ubiquitous during the warmest periods of the year, decorated tanks add a little excitement to the usual mix of basic tees. Not only are they easy to style, they dress up simple pieces, like jeans, capris and shorts in an instant. Try one (or more!) of these cute styles on for size:

Making good use of the crochet trend, this chic top by Filtre ($48) is an absolute standout. It incorporates insets of floral crochet handiwork along the yoke and hem, creating an artsy-meets-elegant look. It's gorgeous in teal and is also available in black and navy.

Here's a tank that puts a fresh spin on the ever-classic nautical trend. Adorned with the quintessential navy and white stripes, Collective Concepts' tank ($68) features romantic lace straps - a look completely unexpected, yet very wearable. Cute!

Effortless chic comes easy when Leifsdottir is part of the equation. The label, renowned for its unique pieces, makes simple look stunning with its cute rib knit tank ($57.90). The tonal ruffles at the neckline negate the need for a necklace, and add just the right amount of interest to the otherwise basic garment. Also in white.

You're bound to turn heads in a tank this unique. Nanette Lepore's Showdown top ($248) utilizes earthy beads along the lone shoulder, accented by thick woven fabric underneath and long tiers of swingy, eye-catching fringe. This is so cute with a pair of capris or even with a skirt for a fun take on casual.
