We Need to Talk About the $75 Tank Air Tank Top

Wait 5 sec.

You can find plenty of expensive tank tops out there, but few are as divisive and buzzy as the Tank Air Studio Tank — a simple-looking and slim-fitting spaghetti-strap tank top sold for $75.Those who love the tank praise its high-quality feel and longevity, while others critique it for its simple, replicable silhouette and high price. We, like many people online, wondered if such a basic item would ever warrant a $75 investment.Curious, we tested two of Tank Air’s $75 offerings — the famous Studio Tank and another, similar style, the Half Moon Halter — with a group of body-diverse testers ranging from sizes 2 to 18 and cup sizes A to F. Our testers wore the tops relentlessly for at least two weeks (some for even longer), washed them multiple times, and styled them with a wide range of clothes in their closet to see just how versatile they were.After sifting through responses from those testers, I wore the tops myself for seven weeks and spoke with a textile expert. And here’s where we’ve landed: These tank tops are well made, and they could certainly be worth the $75 for some people, but they’re not a perfect match for everyone.
