A good tank top should be soft enough to wear all day and hold its shape whether you wear it on its own or under something. We make two kinds, and the difference is the fabric.

"Our rib tanks use a ribbed cotton-modal rather than a jersey. That gives you the softness but also structure, so they're versatile: wear them on their own or as layers. The Better Tank, in our 180 GSM cotton-modal, is more of a layering piece. All of them are soft, comfortable and durable." Shivaan Seth, founder
Every tank is a cotton-modal blend with a little stretch, not polyester, and every one is bio-washed and pre-shrunk.
Which neckline?
- Rib Tank: the everyday classic; wear it alone with jeans or under an open shirt.
- Rib Halter Neck Tank: shows the shoulders; good for summer evenings.
- Rib High Neck Cropped Tank and High Neck Cropped Tank: a cleaner, more covered neckline that pairs well with high-waist bottoms.
- Rib Scoop Neck Tank: a softer, lower neckline.
- The Better Tank and The Better Cami: the layering pieces, in up to 11 colours.
How to wear them
- On its own: a rib tank with our High-Waist Flare Pants or jeans.
- Layered: The Better Tank under a button-down, cardigan or jacket.
- For yoga and travel: a rib tank as a breathable base layer.
- White sleeveless top: the Rib Tank in White is the most versatile; pair it with a skin-tone layer if you want it fully opaque.
