Landing on the *perfect* white tank top can be quite the tricky task. You don’t want one that’s uncomfortable, and certainly not one that’s see-through – especially in the wake of summertime! White tank tops can range from more formal styles to everyday lounge pieces, but we think the best ones land right in between the two ends of the style spectrum.
We’ve got a short list of helpful criteria when shopping for white tank tops:
- Secure fit – no slipping straps or sagging necklines
- Coverage – no nip-slips
- Easy to style – can be dressed up or down depending on the context
- Affordable – staple tank tops should *not* break the bank
Old Navy
Old Navy Ultra-Crop Rib-Knit Tank Top
This cotton-polyester rib knit tank has a trendy square neck design plus some wide straps which help facilitate some impressive coverage all-around. The hem hits around the natural waist to flatter your figure further and the material is not see-through at all.
This $6 Old Navy tank comes in a ton of colors and sizes XS-4X – B+C Creative Assistant, Meredith, has already purchased five different ones in the past month.
Everlane
Everlane The Organic Cotton Cutaway Tank
This white tank top made from organic cotton boasts a high neck and back, which adds coverage to any look. The material is very breathable, which is optimal for getting dressed in the summer heat. There's a small seam that runs down the back of the tank for extra flair and personality!

Amazon

If coverage around your chest is a main concern when you're shopping for white tank tops, you'll be amazed by this pick from Uniqlo.
