In the midst of tie-dye revival, neon mania, and voluminous silhouettes, tides are high for the maximalist style wave. While models and fashion insiders amp up vibrant colors and mixed prints for spring, basic style mainstays still stand as reliable go-tos for trendsetters in 2019. Alongside combat boots and classic blazers, standard ribbed tanks remain a favorite among everyone from Bella Hadid to Zoë Kravitz, and it-girls are demonstrating how to wear a basic white tank for optimal off-duty style this spring.

With plenty of street style stars leading the charge, there a number of easy-to-recreate outfit formulas out there, all of which bring that low-key, breezy aesthetic that’s perfect for the season. Before you stock up, grab some inspiration from The Zoe Report's selection of looks featuring the '90s-inspired staple, below.

Suited Up

Bella Hadid masterfully styled the classic staple back in March during Paris Fashion Week, opting for an oversized gray suit and chunky white sneakers alongside the basic tank. With her signature slicked low bun and small sunglasses, the 22-year-old offset the professional set with street-savvy staples that gave it a notably undone feel. Channel the supermodel's laid-back aesthetic with similar options, below.
