Can You Wear a Tank Top for a Job Interview?
Tank Top isn't a first-choice interview piece in most industries, but if the role skews creative or startup-casual and you're layering it under structure—think Puffer Jacket for an in-person winter interview or styled with Chelsea Boots to anchor formality—it can work. The key is using Tank Top as a base layer rather than the focal point, so pairings like Silk Scarf add polish without reading too styled, and the overall look stays professional rather than weekend-casual.
