Believe it or not, the tank top is having quite the renaissance this summer. Sure, it's never really gone out of style, but it's making a comeback in a major way, thanks to the rise of '90s and '00s wardrobe nostalgia. A tank is a great layering piece, and it also looks minimal and put together with both jean shorts [1] and sweatpants [2]. It walks the line perfectly between loungewear and a full outfit. Basically, if you don't have a favorite tank top, now's the time to shop.
From classic ribbed styles to scoop necks and racer-backs, these 12 tank tops are winners in our books. They're flattering and perfect for layering. The hardest part might just be choosing a favorite.
