Here are the picks to add to your rotation ASAP.

’Tis the season to be thinking about women’s winter coats, but might we instead turn your attention to women’s tank tops? To some, these versatile basics scream summer, but they’re a key wardrobe staple at any time of year.

What to look for in this year’s best women’s tank tops

Both basic and essential, tank tops are unsurprisingly many designers’ go-to. The simple style has taken centre stage in recent seasons, appearing on the runways of Bottega Veneta, David Koma and Jil Sander among others.

Utilitarian details like ribbed textures and thick straps have stood out as high-fashion favourites. But as sexy sheer clothing continues to trend, luxe satin fabrics with lace detailing are also among the tank top stylings du jour.

How to style tank tops for women

The beauty of the humble tank top is that it can be both the main event and the layering secret sauce. In warmer months, a crisp ribbed white tank with a pair of baggy jorts and Adidas Sambas offers a model-off-duty moment.

But when worn under a blazer, it offers a lightweight contrast to an otherwise serious sophisticated ensemble. When in doubt, women’s tank tops are the ideal base layer for building out any outfit.
