My mom takes her tank and T-shirt dress collection very seriously. She has a category for each one; for example, styles like her go-to Anrabess Maxi Sundress are great for everyday wear because of the loose and breezy fit. It’s easy to slip on and can be paired with sandals or sneakers, but you probably wouldn’t wear it in a corporate setting. Then there are more structured options like Everlane’s Organic Cotton Weekend Tank Dress, which has a high neckline and below-the-knee slit that’s more appropriate for professional settings.
With that said, my mom believes there’s a tank or T-shirt dress for every occasion. Below, I rounded up all of my mom’s favorite styles from Spanx, Everlane, Nordstrom, and Amazon—and prices start at just $24.

Anrabess Maxi Sundress
Buy on Amazon $43 $30
Anrabess’s Maxi Sundress is probably my mom’s most-worn dress. She has it in four colors and even picked up the short-sleeve version during the Memorial Day deals. She’s not the only one making the breezy dress her summer uniform—it’s Amazon’s number-one best-selling casual dress and has more than 17,000 five-star ratings with raving reviews to match.
The dress comes in sizes S through 2XL and 43 prints and colors, including green, blue, black, red, purple, polka dot, tie-dye, and floral. It features a scooped neckline, two side slits so it’s easy to walk in, and side pockets. Plus, it’s made from a stretchy knit fabric that’s flattering on all body types and has a length that hits at the ankle depending on height.
Spanx AirEssentials Maxi T-Shirt Dress
Buy on Spanx $138
My mom’s obsessed with all things Spanx, and when she found out that Spanx’s AirEssentials Maxi T-Shirt Dress is made from the same buttery soft material as the brand’s Oprah-loved sweatshirt, she couldn’t pull out her card fast enough to buy multiple colors. It’s available in sizes XS to 2XL and three colors, maroon, black, and a black-and-white stripe option. It features a body-skimming silhouette, a classic crew neckline, short sleeves, slits at both sides (they come up to the knee), and an ankle-length hem.
Everlane Organic Cotton Weekend Tank Dress
Buy on Everlane.com $58
Everlane’s Organic Cotton Weekend Tank Dress is my mom’s go-to elevated summer dress. She feels like anything with a high crew neckline is more sophisticated, and she often pairs it with eye-catching slip-on sandals and her favorite jewelry. The dress comes in four neutral colors and a green and white stripe, plus sizes 2XS to 2XL. It’s made from breathable and lightweight cotton, has two side slips for ease of movement, and a relaxed fit that hits at the mid-calf, depending on length.
