As your favorite college bro would say, “Sun’s out, guns out.” Collegiettes, it’s time to take a style note from the bros. No, I’m not encouraging you to stroll around campus in a lax pinnie (though that would be hilarious). Instead, use this sunny season to sport some phenomenal tank tops. Before you complete your summer shopping, take a look at these collegiette-approved tank tops.

In honor of the upcoming summer movies- I know you’re secretly stoked for Rock of Ages– unleash your inner rocker chick with this Kiss tank. What I love about this tank is that you can wear it during the day or night! Sport this tank to lunch with denim cutoffs and strappy sandals. Heading to your favorite frat?

You can wear just about anywhere- except to your internship, for obvious reasons – and style it with just about anything! Craving a rocker look? Pair it with your leather jacket. What about an insouciant, downtown chic ensemble? Throw on your ripped jeans and a pair of flats. Or are you just looking to show off your romantic side? It’s all about the full, floral skirt. Versatile and affordable- could we ask for anything more?
