You know when you’ve been on the hunt for that perfect layering piece, and after countless searches, you finally stumble upon the ultimate find? Well, that’s exactly how I felt when I discovered the COS’s ribbed tank top. I shouldn’t be surprised really: COS has a reoccurring habit of nailing every need in my wardrobe (case in point its wide-leg trousers and classic crewneck T-shirt). I’ve seen the tank top styled in so many chic ways, with distressed denim to tailored trousers, there’s no doubt that it’s a cemented staple at team Who What Wear. I’m a modest dresser, so finding versatile layering pieces that fit into my wardrobe is key, and this tank has quickly become my go-to for that very reason.
In the colder months, I love wearing it under a cosy cashmere cardigan for a look that’s both stylish and warm. When the weather warms up, I switch gears and opt for breezy cotton and linen button-down shirts to style with the tank. Whether I’m running errands or meeting friends for lunch, the versatility of my COS tank top allows me to easily transition from one season to the next while staying true to my style DNA. The moment I first tried the basic on, I knew it was a game-changer for my wardrobe. Its high-quality, ribbed fabric moulds to my frame just in the way I’d like, giving me that confidence boost I crave, and it works with so many outfit options that my spring moodboard is already full to the brim with looks I’m going to style it with.
I’m not the only one that’s a fan—half of the time I open my Instagram, my feed welcomes me with this tank on another person I follow. From street style regulars on the influencer scene to chic editors and stylists, it seems like everyone agrees—COS’s ribbed tank top is the layering piece you’ll always want in your wardrobe.
So sold on the piece, I’ve decided to add another colour or two into my basics drawer. Scroll on to see and shop the COS ribbed tank top in all its guises.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I have three versions of this tank.
The black colourway always comes in handy.
The tank is so popular that it comes in lots of colour and print variations, like this beige stripped one.
It’s officially spring which means injecting a little colour into my wardrobe is a given.
Okay, I know I said the white was my favourite but I may be pivoting to this deep brown version. It’ll go so well with black trousers and flats.
This shade of bright orange looks so great with classic blue denim.
This print makes this tank look so much more expensive than it is.
