Of all the most talked about moments from the spring/summer 2022 collections, Prada’s white tank top look on Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer ranks high on the list. Aside from the fact that the actress is a bonafide Gen Z style star, the inclusion of this simple staple felt like a strong reminder of its versatility (and relevance!) on and off the runway. If it's good enough for Hunter and Prada, it's more than fine with us.

On the runway, other noteworthy labels from Loewe to Marine Serre have introduced the white tank as a must-have item for the spring and summer months ahead.

For example, if you’re wearing a printed midi skirt and strappy heeled sandals, but don’t want the look to feel overly dressy, add a white tank and instantly your ensemble is made effortlessly cool.
