Fashion Girls Are All About This Basic, so I Found the Best 19 Under $50
There's an audio that's trending on TikTok that goes "People think I'm obsessed with this, but I'm okay with it. I am obsessed with it," and I think that pretty much sums up the relationship fashion girls have right now with their tank tops. Seeing as casual style has taken center stage as everyone's preferred mode of dressing lately, a number of unfussy basics are now earning top spots in our wardrobes—tank tops being one of them.
Okay, so maybe obsession is going too far here, but I'm definitely seeing tons of cute tank tops this summer that fashion girls are keen on wearing with jeans, shorts, trousers, and skirts alike. Whether they're on the basic side (like a good old ribbed tank) or have a detail that makes them stand out like a one-shoulder design or pretty smocked material, there are too many great options to pick from, which is why I went ahead and sourced the best ones that don't ring up for more than $50. Keep scrolling to find your next favorite tank.
I love it when an item is basic but also kind of trendy at the same time.
Take a cue from fashion girls and tuck this muscle tank into high-waisted denim.
I really can't get enough of smocking this summer.
This $16 tank reminds me of a $79 designer version, and it's just as good.
Up next, the expensive-looking basics I like all have. this one detail in common.
