Just like finding that perfect white tee, finding a flattering tank can be challenging. For starters, it can’t be too tight or too loose—rather, the perfect tank is ever-so-slouchy, so it drapes nicely without digging into your armpits. It should also be long enough to be tucked in, but short enough that if you choose to leave it out, it doesn’t look frumpy. Lastly, it shouldn’t be see-through—you need to be able to wear any color bra under it without it showing through—and the price better not be over $10.

We found just the ticket: Amazon Essentials Women's two-Pack Classic-Fit 100 percent Cotton Sleeveless Tanks—and they’re on sale. Each one is just $9.50, down from $16. Don’t be fooled by their simplicity: These tanks are going to seriously up your style game, and when we say you’ll absolutely live in these, we mean it. They’re just so flattering.

Perhaps this shopper says it best: “They fit my post baby body without showing all of my imperfections.”

Designer quality

These beauties are blissfully inexpensive, but as high-quality as designer tanks that cost seven times as much.

“I love these shirts, and all of the Amazon Essential tees,” one fashionista shares. “I have been buying Eileen Fisher tees for decades and paying $70 a shirt. I decided to try the Amazon Essential tanks because they are insanely inexpensive. The quality of the cotton is on par with the Eileen Fisher tees. The fit is great.”

Perfectly sized armholes

Don’t underestimate the importance of a good armhole! These are cut just wide enough to be comfortable and non-restricting, yet aren’t so loose that you can see what you’re wearing underneath.

“Nice weight; light enough for summer but not too slight to be see-through,” a shopper raves. “Love the cut on the armholes (bra band doesn’t show) and the bottom (a little longer in the back). I want more colors!”

“Love these tanks,” another adds. “Love the fit, armhole coverage, fabric weight. Love that they are 100 percent cotton. Wish there were more prints. Hopefully they will last!”

“I didn’t want a tight fit,” says a fan. “The armholes are 8 inches deep (measured from the shoulder)—not so deep that people can see your bra. I really like these tanks.”

Made for summer

Whether you live in the South where it’s permanently warm, or need something exclusively for the summer months, this tank has rave reviews on both fronts.

“High quality fabric, attractive, comfortable, lightweight, breathable, cotton design with beautiful colors,” one shopper enthusiastically shares. “Perfect for the humid, hot Florida summer season.”

“The material is great,” another shares. “Perfect for summer.”

Great for working out

Who needs to spend twice as much or more on tanks that aren’t even breathable? These are cheaper, and because they’re entirely made of cotton, great quality and ideal for a good sweat session.

“The shirts fit exactly as expected!” one shopper raves. “I can not only workout in them but also comfortably lounge around at home. Will definitely be purchasing more!”

“These are great tanks,” another shares. “Perfect for runs and working out.”

In short?

“This was exactly what I was looking for,” one fashion-forward reviewer divulges. “The colors and the fit were perfect. These are must-have basics for any wardrobe!”
