4. Aritzia
Aritzia will pretty much cover all of your white-tank-top needs and wants, from ribbed and tight to loose and sporty. If you're in the market for one right now, I'd suggest shopping the sale before all the good stuff is gone.

5. Aerie
Aerie is one of my destinations for the most comfortable loungewear around. Everything from the price to the feel to the look will have you coming back again for more (and more).
6. Hanes
Hot tip: Buy these from the men's or boys' section, and buy them in bulk. The men's styles fit more true to the kinds of white tanks that are trending right now.
Shop our picks:
7. Reformation
Reformation's tanks are gold. They fit like a glove, are insanely flattering, and are surprisingly affordable.
Shop our picks:
8. The Range
Another newer fashion girl–favorite brand right now is The Range thanks to its racer-front and perfectly cropped cotton tanks.

9. Gap
Last but not least, Gap has become a recent favorite of mine when it comes to good basics. With an iconic brand like this, you really can't go wrong.
