Plain white T-shirts will always have a place in our wardrobe, but the best white tank tops are the undisputed champions of summer. Not only is the highly underrated wardrobe staple great for sleeping or working out in; the perfect tank is a building block for a number of warm-weather looks and a great option if you’re adding to a summer capsule wardrobe.
Designers, mass retailers, and up-and-coming brands have all revisited this lightweight staple and reimagined the classic cotton tank top in a variety of styles and fabrics for the season. From logo tanks to pointelle camisoles, and sleeveless bodysuits, there’s an effortless option for everyone’s closet and budget. You can find plain white undershirts to layer under cardigans or splurge on something with cutouts (or that Loewe tank!) to dress up simple high-waist jeans. Whatever’s on the agenda, the best white tank tops manage to be totally on trend and timeless. Below, 20 styles to wear now and for years to come.

At $3 a pop, you can't do much better than this bulk pack of cotton tanks with thick shoulder straps. They can be layered underneath knits, worn over swimsuits, or cut up Julia Fox style. (Keep in mind, since they're technically from the kids' section, you might want to size up for a better fit.)
Yogis, this is the exact tank you'll want to wear during your next flow. It has a slim fit (so your top won't be covering your face when you're inverted) and a built-in shelf bra with removable cups, so can you ditch the sports bra altogether if you want to. Bonus? The moisture-wicking fabric is especially great for hot yoga or an intense vinyasa session.

Snap up this whisper-thin V-neck, stat. It's a Madewell bestseller you'll be reaching for on the daily. It has a more relaxed fit than some of the other tanks on this list—ideal if you prefer a looser cut (and for staying cool when it's unseasonably warm outside).

It's no secret that Buck Mason makes some of our go-to basics—and this midweight tank top (one of its latest spring additions) is a new favorite. The ribbed fabric has give but doesn't lose shape, with a square neckline that looks great solo or slipped underneath light spring jackets. In addition to white, it also comes in black and sand and, like the majority of Buck Mason tees and tanks, is prewashed to have a lived-in feel.
Everlane basics do not come to play, but you already knew that. This high-neck tank top isn't super cropped, but it's not full-length either. If you want a seamless tucked-in look, pair it with high-waist denim, but if you're willing to bare some skin, mid- to low-rise bottoms work too. Plus, the pima cotton is supersoft on skin.

Thermal isn’t a word that typically comes to mind when talking about summer, but this cropped tank (which has a scoop neckline with a little V dip and is made of a cozy waffle-knit fabric) will make you reconsider. It has a snug fit, which reviewers also love for wearing at night as a sleep bra.
If there's one place to turn to for chic workout gear, it's Alo. This stretchy rib-knit tank has a built-in bra and longer length to offer more coverage in the front and back. (And it pairs perfectly with your trusty black leggings or bike shorts.) But don't consider it a gym-only piece—you can totally get away with wearing this one anywhere.
For a smoothing tank that isn't compressive shapewear, reach for this seamless piece by Commando. It's buttery-soft and looks best with a strapless bra or nipple covers.
Looking for an exercise-ready tank? This stretchy Free People option has a close fit, a square neckline, and a curved hem that's perfect for throwing on over your sports bra—and won't get in the way of your workout.
