I Bought Kendall Jenner's Viral $2 Tank Top ID'd by Tinx - Here Are My Thoughts

I live for the moments when celebrities wear something wildly casual or ridiculously inexpensive and share it on social media with the same confidence they reserve for a designer splurge. One that's permanently etched in my brain is Kendall Jenner showing up to Game 4 of the Eastern Conference NBA Semifinals this past May, where she wore a $2 Hanes tank top. (Yes, two dollars. And yes, I'm a shopping editor who genuinely studies this stuff for a living.)

In classic Jenner style, she made the simple Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank ($9, originally $11) look effortlessly chic. TikTok star Tinx first blew the lid off Jenner's budget-friendly secret by finding the exact tank and sharing with her followers. "I was obsessed with this pic because Kendall's white tank is perfect," she said in her TikTok. "I asked my shopaholic community, 'Where's it from?' They all said Hanes. I'm 99% sure it's a Hanes Boys Tank."

A boys tank? Say what? I was shook. How could something so basic be so iconic? After some serious sleuthing, I tracked down the viral Hanes tank - a kids' size, no less - and I had to try it. Spoiler alert: Tinx was absolutely right. This tank is a must. It's the perfect sheer balance, comes in a five-pack, and costs next to nothing. So naturally, I've been wearing it everywhere. Seriously, it's about to become your new favorite wardrobe essential.

What I Like About the Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank

Aside from the unbeatable price, there's honestly a lot to love about this ribbed white tank. For starters, the cut does something my usual tanks just don't. That swooped neckline? It somehow makes the whole thing look effortlessly chic. Plus, it goes with anything. Sweatpants? Definitely. Denim shorts? Obviously. A skirt and some jewelry? Absolutely. Case in point: Jenner styled hers with leather pants, and it looks totally high fashion.

Another thing - I'm not the neatest eater, and when I drop $20-$30 on a tank from somewhere like Zara, I basically count it as a one-wear risk (especially in white). But with this? I've got four more in the pack. Worst-case scenario, I just grab another set on Amazon. No stress.

What to Consider Before Buying the Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank

First off, this is technically a boys' tank top. It comes pre-shrunk in a pack of five. I got mine in an XL, but probably could've gone with a large (that's what Tinx got, and hers fits perfectly). The fabric is thin, but the 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend has a good amount of stretch, so it'll give if you need it to. It also features a double-ply neckband and moisture-wicking technology to keep you cool on hot days.

Now, if the boys' sizing feels a little too risky, Hanes makes a Women's Originals Knit Cotton Rib Tank Pack ($13), which I also own and can confirm I like just as much. They're not quite as sheer either. The takeaway? You don't need to spend $$ on ribbed white tank tops. Take a page from Jenner's book - even a kids' version can work.

Who Is Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank Best For?

If you're into that effortless, model-off-duty vibe Jenner always nails, this tank is for you. It's a super simple piece, but it still feels cool - like you just threw it on and somehow look pulled together. It's great for anyone who wants to hop on a viral trend without dropping $$$. The fit has that slightly shrunken, vintage feel (because yes, it's technically a boys' tank), and the neckline gives it just the right amount of edge. It also layers really well - under an open button-down, with a blazer, whatever. Or you can just wear it with sweats and call it a day. No wrong answers here.

Additional Details

  • The Hanes Boys Tank comes in sizes XS–XL and is sold in a five-pack.
  • Each ribbed tank is pre-shrunk, so it holds its shape wash after wash.
  • It's designed with a tagless interior - aka, no itching.
  • Made from lightweight fabric, it's perfect for hot summer days.

Where Is the Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank Available?

The Hanes Ecosmart Cotton Tank is available on the brand's website, Amazon, Walmart, Kohls, and more.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
