Hot girl summer has quickly been replaced (but never forgotten) by Brat girl summer and its edgy, trendy fashion sense paired with unbothered, stylishly messy party girl vibes. Thus, white tank tops have been taking over our social media feeds. From being the ideal, comfy beach and gym cover-up, to being the perfect neutral base to accessorize the heck out of, it’s a timeless closet staple and we’re constantly searching for the best one.

Like Charli XCX, the English singer and creator of Brat girl summer herself, said on the Anything Goes podcast, the ultimate brat girl vibe is dancing the night away in a simple tank top, not caring about anything other than having a good time and doing what you want.

And, like SI Swimsuit alumna, 1990s icon and supermodel Cindy Crawford recently stated, the white tank top is a “forever a classic.”

How to style a white tank top

The beauty of a white tank top is the fact that it literally goes with everything and is the perfect base to any outfit. Pair it with baggy jeans in any shade, or with a statement mini skirt for a night out. Serve major edgy vibes in low-rise leather pants or micro hot pants and call it a day. Dress down a maxi skirt with a white tank, or dress up your sweatpants with a little cropped white top. It’s truly a fundamental closet staple, travel must-have and the most versatile item.
