About Madewell’s tops: Madewell's tops range runs from ribbed tanks and camis around $30-60 up to silk camis and dressier tops near $110. The Brightside tank family is the name owners actually know; the brand itself bills it as its best-selling tank.

Is the price honest?

At $38 full price it sits at the bottom of the mid tier, which is roughly fair for a Supima-cotton rib knit. A few dollars of that is brand positioning — plainer cotton tanks cost less — but the premium is small.

Our take

The Brightside '90s Tank is the current core of Madewell's Brightside family, the fitted rib tank the brand labels its best-seller among tops. It is a ribbed Supima cotton-elastane knit with a crew neckline and slim straps, cut to end between the bellybutton and high hip. Owner ratings run four stars and up across retail listings. Caveats: the cut is deliberately body-hugging, popular colorways sell out fast, and some versions are being relabeled 'Supima Rib,' which muddies searching.

The details

Material: Ribbed jersey knit listed as 95% Supima cotton and 5% elastane on the current retailer listing.
Fit: Fitted and streamlined — it hugs the body, with a crew neck and slender '90s-style straps, ending between the bellybutton and high hip. Retailer sizing feedback reads true to size; anyone wanting a looser drape should size up.
Quality: Ratings run four stars or above across the listings surveyed, with over 150 reviews on a single retailer colorway, and no recurring complaints about bagging or pilling surfaced in research. The elastane in the rib is there to help the tank hold its shape.
Best for: Anyone who wants one fitted, non-tee first layer that works on its own with high-rise jeans or under a blazer or cardigan.
Care: Machine wash, and skip high-heat drying to protect the elastane in the rib knit.
