It's official, a white tank top with a little embroidery at the center is the hottest product in the world right now — well, as far as Lyst's latest quarterly report is concerned.

The Index Report, which always makes for an interesting read, put Loewe as officially the hottest brand in the world and listed its logo tank top as the hottest product for Q2 2023. This proved two things we already knew: Loewe, under the guidance of creative director Jonathon Anderson, is f***ing amazing, and there's power in a plain tank top.

The arm-showing staple has found itself gaining increased popularity recently and, as a result, is increasingly getting luxury-fied.

Loewe is only the latest brand to have a hyped tank top, joined by Prada's $1000 plain white tank (which was named the third hottest product in Q3 2022 by the Lyst Index Report), Diesel's "T-Anky-D", and the Chanel one which Timothée Chalamet was snapped wearing in that behind-the-scenes picture.

When mercury rises, the obvious benefit of tank tops is their superior ability to keep you cool — that's what's made them a wardrobe staple for so many years. But wearing nothing other than a tank up top arguably hasn't been this popular since the '90s.

The '90s saw Dolce & Gabbana create a stir by putting tank tops on the runway, subverting the clothing's macho Italian stereotype. This was later followed by designers such as Helmut Lang, Maison Margiela, and Raf Simons bringing their own twist to the style, using their differing approaches to deconstruction and counterculture as a way to also play with the tank top's associations.

As the style has started popping up on runways more frequently again and also on the likes of Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, and Joe Jonas, (whose under-appreciated style transformation is a topic for another day), there's a distinct late 20th-century feel to our recent tank top revival. As with so many trends, the look folds into the Y2K resurgence that is dominating fashion right now.

Whether you will be wearing your tank loud and proud on its own or as a layering tool, we've picked out some of our favorites that are available online now.
