Ribbed tank top in black

Nobody is interested in wearing a jacket come summer time, but how do you execute the "rule of the third" without a jacket? Let's back track, The rule of the third is a styling principle whereby adding a "third piece" to your outfit will immediately elevate the look and make it look more considered. While this presents challenges when the mercury rises, an easy summer workaround is to wear your basic cotton or linen shirts as a jacket. Not only does this elevate your fit, but it gives your trusty button down another purpose in your closet making it even more versatile. Be sure to keep your top under the shirt reasonably fitted to balance out the volume of your shirt. Image Credit: @iamjessicatorres
