Soft, comfortable, affordable — all things I look for in Summer clothing, specifically, my assortment of tank tops. From white and black to nautical stripes, I love a good tank top and wear my favorites repeatedly throughout the season while hanging at home, layered for work, on a beach getaway, and, of course, on the weekends. Well, guess what? I found the softest $19 version. Where, you ask? In the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's.

While I'm very much here for feminine sundresses, playful skirts, and fun shorts outfits this time of year, I find the best pieces to pair them with are the basics — simple tanks, comfy tees, and perhaps a minimal bodysuit here or there. Hey now! To me, Summer style equates to simplicity because A) it's usually too hot to function and B) it's the season of easy living, so why overthink it?

Now, back to this super-soft tank top. It's a crewneck silhouette. It's soft as heck. It's cut slightly higher in the front with vented side slits to tuck, half-tuck, or wear loose at your leisure. It actually comes in four different versions: a cheeky "Gimme Sugar" graphic tank in pink, a wordy white "Here Comes the Sun" iteration, a rainbow striped style, and my favorite, blue and white stripes with a nautical feel. Oh, yes, and it's $19. That's one dollar less than $20, friends. Score!

I first took this tank for a spin on a recent trip to the mountains and it was so crazy-comfortable, I wore it a couple afternoons in a row, both with jeans and a pair of cropped cargos. After discovering just how silky smooth the tank felt on my skin, I quickly mapped out a few more occasions to wear it the next week and just packed it in my suitcase for my July 4th vacation.

If you're both a tank top and soft clothing addict like me, ahead, see how I recently styled the softest $19 striped tank top for Summer. Then, shop my exact look plus a few more affordable tank tops from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's.

Did I mention how soft it is? Real soft. The cotton fabric is ultrabreathable and cool to the touch — it doesn't get more ideal than that in the heat. Heck, you can even sleep in it!

Cut slightly higher in front with vented side slits, you can wear this tank long and loose, half-tuck (or "French tuck") it in the front, or highlight your waist by tucking it all the way in.

If you're into comfort, trends, or comfortable trends, give the "ugly" sandal trend a try and team your tank and jeans with a pair of Birkenstock sandals.
