Help me find: pajama tanks

SarahD8

I have been working on an overhaul/rebuilding of my pajama/lounge wear capsule the last couple of months, after a pretty severe wardrobe basics edit at the beginning of the year followed by a sort of unexpected mass die-off of remaining items.

Right now I’m in great need of tank tops to wear to sleep in and I’m not really sure where to look. Can you help?

The specs:
-scoop neck preferred but would probably settle for v neck.
-either spaghetti/cami straps or wider ~1’ straps are fine
-fitted in the shoulders/chest
-BUT fluid fit through the torso. I don’t want tight/body con.
-knit fabric preferably with a high percentage of cotton, would probably settle for modal
-reasonably thick/sturdy fabric
-available in heather gray, light/medium blue, and/or pink
-super bonus points for something that is consistently available so I could buy again in future.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm not looking at them right now, but I got a bunch from Target (maybe called a new day?) that I use for sleep. They fit the description and are opaque (at least the dark colors are), though not sure what colors are available atm. And they don't roll up! These are regular tanks, not the too thin ones in the sleepwear department.

Target is also where all my tanks come from.

I wear these: Jockey Elance® Supersoft Camisole. I own them in white, pink, medium blue, and navy. They are absolutely perfect in every way. I buy mine at Belks (usually on sale).

I wonder if a maternity tank would give you the loose fit you’re after...

Thanks for pointing me to Target, suntiger and rachylou. Isn't it funny that sometimes a person just needs to be pointed in *a* direction?
These look promising:

Sterling ahhhh how wonderful to find the perfect thing! I think your tanks would be too fitted for my purposes but I am so happy you have found The Ones.

Nemosmom, good thought re: maternity, I'll take a look

I’m not sure but it might be worth looking at Kettlewell if you can get their stuff easily. They have the same range season by season but change colours.

Last summer Gap made some basic tanks that were cut in a “swing” silhouette, kind of A-line. Maybe they would have that again?

Ah, Kettlewell looks like a great solution for basics Jane! Wish there were more such retailers serving the US. Looks like they do ship here but it’s $20 so I need to ponder if it is worth the risk....

Jessikams, thanks, will take a look at Gap! I think you’re right that a slight a-line cut is what I’m after.

Have you tried Uniqlo?

I have purchased mine from Target or Gap in the past. Very comfy.

Angie, thanks for the Uniqlo suggestion. Just looked and they don't seem to have many tanks at all -- what they do have is that tight/bodycon cut that I don't want. Too bad, since I need to place an order for Airism camis anyway!

AviaMariah good to know I'm on the right track with Target and Gap.

Rotten luck. Have you tried Bedhead and Gap Body?

The sleep camis from Soma are brilliant. Gentle bust support and they flow.
