Y2K Lace Hollow Out Summer Tank Top

A black ribbed knit tank top with a fitted, cropped cut and large floral lace appliqué patches sewn across the front in a diagonal arrangement, with hollow cut-out detailing through the lace. It's the kind of top you'd wear to a birthday night out or a bar on a warm evening. The lace patches are cream-coloured against the black knit base, and the neckline sits high with a mock-neck style, keeping the top structured and close to the body.

This top is easy to style because it already has a lot going on with the patchwork lace detailing, so simpler pieces work best around it. Pair it with low-rise wide-leg trousers or a mini skirt in a neutral tone, and keep jewellery minimal, maybe a thin chain or small hoops. The unique hollow cut-out sections in the lace appliqué mean it sits slightly away from the knit in places, so it layers interestingly over a thin mesh or sheer long-sleeve underneath on cooler nights. It's versatile enough to shift between a more feminine, coquette-leaning look and something sharper depending on what you put with it.

Designed to add to the outfit, it slots easily into a simple daily errand outfit and just as easily into a more thought out tailored weekend fit. It works with many outfits across loads of aesthetics, not just Y2K.
