Tank tops have gotten an upscale makeover. The result: the sweater tank — the cozy, but still weather-appropriate, summer staple. Sweater tanks have all of the softness of your favorite fall and winter knits, combined with a breathable sleeveless silhouette. Plus, with a little bit of creative layering, they're ideal for transitioning between seasons. Long story short, if you don't already have a sweater tank in your closet, this is your sign that you need one.
Sweater tanks come in tons of different varieties, though they're all equally comfortable. Choose between loose or fitted, v-neck or scoop neck; they range from paper thin and light-as-a-feather to chunky cable knit. Some have more open weaves while others feature tightly knit ribbing. Basically, the possibilities are endless. Below, we pulled together some of our favorite options available to shop at Banana Republic right now.

Banana Republic Organic Cotton Sweater Tank
Thanks to the cable knit stitching, this cream-colored tank ($80) is a riff on the sweater vest trend. But the v-neck and thinner straps allow for it to be worn without anything under it like a regular tank.

If you have any beach vacations planned this summer, be sure to pack the Banana Republic Shimmer Linen-Blend Sweater Tank ($80). The pretty sparkly fabric was practically made to complement a tan. Wear it to dinner with some wide legged pants and a pair of strappy heels.

The Banana Republic Italian Linen Sweater Tank ($65) is a relaxed-fit everyday piece. The slightly baggy swing shape looks chic tucked into a pair of high-waisted shorts, or loose over your favorite lounge pants for a comfier ensemble.
