Some people might advocate for investing in luxury basics, but I'm not one of those editors. (Sorry, The Row.) For me, I don't want to be paranoid about staining an expensive tee, tank, sweater—and I'm definitely not willing to send it to the dry cleaners or even line-dry it. Yes, I'm lazy. I'm all about affordable basics, which is why this roundup caps out at $49, with most pieces hovering around the $15 mark.
I included a range of low-maintenance white tank tops from Amazon, including scoop necks, halternecks, crop tops, ribbed tanks, racerbacks, smocked versions, and more. Some of these styles have an insane amount of reviews, including one boasting an impressive 1528 five-star reviews.
