Tank tops are a wardrobe staple which can be worn alone or as a layering piece under other clothing items. Whether you’re going to the gym, work, or just hanging out around the house, the best tank tops fit comfortably (whether that be loose and relaxed or fitted) and come in a variety of designs with different straps, necklines, colors, and designs.
Beyond fit and style, fabric is also an important consideration when it comes to picking the best tank top or tops for you. There’re tons of different fabric options and combinations, but some of the most common are:
- Cotton which can be nice and soft (but beware, can shrink in the dryer).
- Polyester which is lightweight and water-resistant, and in the right design, can even be very breathable.
- Spandex which is often used for form-fitting tanks to add flexibility and comfort. It’s usually combined with other fabrics to add stretch and durability.
When it comes to pregnancy, nursing, workouts, or just days when you would rather not wear a bra, you’ll find smart designs below that have your needs covered, too.
To help you on the hunt for the perfect tank top, here are 20 customer-adored options from Amazon for work, for play, and for the gym.
1A Basic, Slim-Fit Tank Top

2A Relaxed-Fit Tank Top
Great for everyday wear, this relaxed-fit tank top from Daily Ritual comes in seven basic colors that will coordinate with virtually any bottoms. Made of rayon and spandex, this tank features a scoop-neck front and racerback. Amazon reviewers give it a 4.7-star rating.
What Amazon reviewers are saying: "Really into this tank. It is true to size, not too low cut/revealing, and the arm holes do not show my bra (nor do the straps).
