Though we often disregard sweaters as a viable summer wardrobe option, there’s one particular style that makes knits totally wearable when the weather is ridiculously hot: the knit tank. This sweater trend has been popping up all over social media—from brands and influencers alike—and thankfully, it’s not going away any time soon. For those who want to feel cozy even when the temperatures are above 90, you can’t go wrong with throwing on some plus-size knit tanks.
