The Coolest Tank Tops to Wear This Summer
You’ve cranked the AC, downed a couple cold brews, and you're still sweating through your shirt. When the only real solution is wearing less, it's time to lose the sleeves. Tank tops are the undisputed MVP of sweltering summer style—lightweight, breathable and free of those dreaded pit stains. Whether you're leaning athletic or into nostalgia or going for a louche European look, the sleeveless shirt is very much the move.
For Summer 2025, tanks fall into a few stylish camps. The sporty performance version—usually cut from sweat-wicking synthetic blends—leans trim and technical, ideal for everything from weight room sessions to weekend errands. Then there's the vintage-inspired cut-off, which has surged back into style thanks to a wave of retro gymcore looks. And finally, the textured tank—think minimalist ribbed styles and more luxurious knit options that looks as good solo as they do layered under a nicely draped top shirt.
How to wear them? Pair the sleek tech tank with running shorts or nylon trousers. Go full throwback with a cut-off and a pair of jorts or washed chinos. Or contrast the slim ribbed tank with wide-leg pants for a relaxed, of-the-moment silhouette. However you style yours, just know the best tanks let you beat the heat—and flex a little while you're at it. Below, our favorites of the season.
