A couple of months ago, I picked up a mock neck tank top and honestly, it’s become an absolute wardrobe essential for me. I just bought it on a whim but I’ve probably worn it more than any other piece of clothing in my closet! Here are the main reasons why:
No more bunched up layering problems!
I know we’ve all struggled with this before. I used to wear basic white t-shirts underneath my clothes and it would always bunch up weird or fit funny, especially if I was wearing a nicer outfit. The tank top is fitted though, and since it doesn’t have sleeves it ends up being a super smooth and fixed layer.
Neckline problems disappeared!
Okay so the biggest hijabi problem of all problems is keeping your neck from being exposed, without sacrificing hijab/outfit style. Having the mock neck fixes this problem so well I forgot that this was a problem. I really like the ribbed detailing on the tank top because it makes the layering seem purposeful as opposed to just there to cover skin. Yay for practical style!
Perfect for All Seasons
I didn’t expect this, but my mock neck tank top has become my year-round layering piece. In cooler months, it adds just enough warmth without the heaviness of a full turtleneck. During warmer days, it’s breathable enough to wear on its own or as a lightweight layer.
This is a super versatile essential piece that I cannot recommend enough!
