Ann Taylor Silk Tank

Era: Early 2000s 

Material: Black silk, delicate lace trim along scoop neckline, smocked empire waist, vertical pintuck pleating through body, wide shoulder straps, relaxed fit

Condition: Good — silk smooth with no snags or pulls, lace trim fully intact, smocking holds its shape.

This is the tank you reach for when you want to look put-together without announcing it. The lace trim at the neckline is subtle enough to read as a detail rather than a statement, the smocked empire waist gives it shape without being fitted, and the pintuck pleating adds texture that makes it more interesting than a basic silk tank has any right to be. Tuck it into high-waisted wide-leg trousers for something polished, or wear it untucked over a slim midi skirt with a heel. It also layers beautifully under a blazer or the Dana Buchman tassel cardigan for a full tonal black look that feels considered from every angle.
