My mom and I share a strong bond, and one thing that unites us is our mutual love for high-quality, timeless fashion. While we both appreciate designer pieces, we also value affordable wardrobe basics. One particular item that stands out in our closets is an under-$20 tank top from Amazon.

As a fashion editor with a penchant for classic, minimalist styles, I have spent years exploring various basic tank tops. My mom also has a deep understanding of what the best tank tops are, as she has over five years of experience working in fashion retail. Together, we've tested numerous styles from renowned brands such as Nordstrom, Reformation, Agolde, and Éterne. Despite this, the Artfish tank top consistently emerges as our top choice. We are drawn to its timeless yet modern design, particularly the stylish slight racer cut that allows it to shine on its own in the spring and summer or be layered in the fall and winter.

But it's not just us who are captivated by this tank top. With over 5000 reviews and an average of five stars, it has garnered a loyal following among Amazon customers. In the past month alone, it has been purchased by over 500 shoppers. What sets it apart? First, it is available in 21 colors, allowing for endless styling possibilities. Additionally, the ribbed cotton fabric is substantial and opaque, providing excellent support without the need for a bra. The flattering racer design accentuates all the right features, and the option of two lengths—short and long—caters to different preferences. Last, its exceptional durability means that it maintains its shape and quality even after numerous washes.

Keep scrolling to shop for the best elevated tank on Amazon. I recommend getting one or two now and then grabbing a few more when it goes on sale in a few weeks during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days. I've also put together an edit of other chic tank tops and elevated wardrobe essentials in case you're in a shopping mood.
