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.
