Many styles of women’s tank tops are popular, and it depends on many factors. Which material you choose will help you stay cool, but you may also want to consider the strap size, neckline, and hem length when selecting your tank top. Straps range from wide to very narrow and may or may not be adjustable to help with fit.
If you’re likely to be active, maybe running or hitting the gym, you may prefer thicker straps that stay snug against your body and wick away sweat. If you’re looking for casual wear, consider something with a design on the front or a higher or lower neckline, depending on the vibe. If you’re unsure, you could always try some of the most popular styles of women’s tank tops like:
- Women’s racerback tank tops: Popular because of their T-shaped pattern behind the shoulder blades, these allow whole arm movement during exercise and can keep the tank tight to your chest.
- Spaghetti-strap tank tops: For more casual wear or to minimize tan lines, you could try thinner straps with less shoulder fabric to allow for a cool breeze across your shoulders.
- Women’s muscle tanks: Ideal for exercise, these tanks are a popular layer over a sports bra as they tend to fit long and loose with large arm holes for maximum cooling.
- Cropped tank top: If you’re headed for sandy beaches or want to show off more of your midriff, try a cropped tank. If you want some more coverage, try a regular hip-length or something longer like a tunic-length hem that falls below the hip.
- Women’s graphic tanks: Available in all sorts of styles, graphic tanks add a level of personality to your wardrobe with eye-catching designs made by creative individuals on Etsy.
