Sheer Midnight Sequin Tank with Open Back Tie Detail
A true early 2000s after-dark piece — made for low lighting, last-minute plans, and outfits that don’t need overthinking.
This vintage Wet Seal tank is constructed on a sheer navy mesh base, fully adorned with tonal sequins that catch the light from every angle. The silhouette is softly fitted through the body with a subtle flare at the hem, creating that effortless, throw-on shape that still feels intentional.
The front remains clean and minimal, while the back reveals a delicate open detail with a tie closure — understated, but just enough to make the piece feel considered. A sheer hemline adds to the undone finish, giving it that slightly raw, editorial edge.
There is a small area along one side seam that appears to have been hand-stitched at some point. It blends naturally into the construction and does not affect wear, but has been reflected in pricing.
It’s the kind of piece that instantly elevates denim, a mini skirt, or even just a simple pair of trousers — no effort required.
Model is 5’4 and typically wears Women’s XS/S.
