People Are Losing Their Minds Over Kendall Jenner’s Basic White Tank Top
I spoke about this when it happened, but I want to speak about it again more in a long form format. This was insane, guys. Guys, guys, guys, this was absolutely insane. For people that don’t know, Kendall Jenner wore these $2 tank tops to a Knicks game and all of a sudden all these girls on Tik Tok suddenly found out that you can wear white tank tops as like a clothing item as like an item of clothing. Like it took people Kendall Jenner to wear a white tank top for them to know, oh, people actually wear tank tops. Like can you imagine how cooked, mentally cooked people are that they walk into every every single fashion store offers white tank tops. Everywhere from fast fashion stores like you know H& to Zara they all have wank tank white tank tops in there to Arquette and CO they have white tank tops to Prada and Bayga Veneta they have white tank tops and the people on Tik Tok literally had the audacity the audacity to say things like well it’s not our fault that we it wasn’t marketed towards us until now. Are these people just are they blind? Do they just go around with their eyes closed when they go shopping? Do they just like close their eyes while they can’t see anything? Because why would someone need to market white tank tops to someone? That is just so not necessary. Is it? What is next? I didn’t know underwear existed. It’s just underwear was not marketed towards us. So, I just didn’t know that it was. And so I have some lovely examples for you guys to watch on Tik Tok of exactly what I’m talking about. Exactly what I’m talking about. And then after we can have a field day reading the comments. I’m freaking It’s not too cropped. It’s like kind of If these Hannes little boys tanks are as good as everyone says they are, I’m going to be shocked. Apparently Kendall wore them to a Nick game. I don’t know if that’s actually true, but they do look pretty similar. Guys, I’m freaking. It’s not too cropped. It’s like kind of sheer, which I like. I’d probably wear it like this. Very effortless, but like kind of sexy. And I’ve also been seeing a lot of people layering tanks, which I think is perfect with this. The summer staple if these Hannes little boys. Now these fashion girlies are turning $2 Hannes tank tops to fashion staple. Like people have been wearing Hannes tank tops forever. Like I I play basketball, right? I’ve been a hooper since I was a kid. Hannes tank tops are the goto like hooper loweffort like tank tops. Literally Hannes tank tops are like literally part of the starter kit of like the guy that doesn’t put any effort into his hoop fit. He just gets out of bed, throws on the Hannes tank top, and then goes to play basketball. Yeah. It’s like the ‘ 90s R&B. Like in the 90s and the 2000s, the women would wear these tank tops and like in a really like cool kind of way and then the men would just wear like the tank tops with really massive shorts, like insanely outrageous shorts. It’s insane that these people have to be marketed. Like why do people I understand some things you have to be marketed towards but there’s certain items that you should know what they are and you should know that they exist and you should know that they can be worn as like a fashion thing. Like how can you not know that you can wear white tank tops as a fashion thing. That’s very concerning. I’m concerned like Tik Tok brain is is is yeah it’s cooking us. Someone said sorry I saw a good comment earlier. Do you think they pay publications to post about this? Potentially, because I think they know that if publications post about it, then they can make a lot of money if they can make it a trend, which obviously has worked in this situation. Did Hannes pay her behind the scenes and then buy a story about it potentially. So, even if Haynes did that, right? So even if Haynes like paid Kendall Jenner to wear it and then paid photographers to take the picture so that they could pay to run the story in fashion magazines, even then the people that are still saying, “Oh my god, this is a fashion staple. Kendall Jenner wore this tank top.” And imagine, “Oh my god, it’s $2.” They are the ones that are the cooked ones because they should know that those exist already. They are the ones that are cooked. I’m definitely open to being paid to pretend that something is a story. Let me read some of the comments on this video. It’s ghetto until That’s very true. It’s ghetto until a certain demographic of people wear it. And then someone is saying she actually wore the greasio tank top. Interesting. Viral Kendall Jenner tank top. It’s a white tank top. Let’s touch some grass. Exactly what I’m thinking about. The cultural disconnect is crazy, guys. I’m freaking a plain white tank top. It’s so sad how easily influenced these girls are and how they don’t find anything pretty/cool until Kendall Haley or one of these girls does. Yeah, I think for me that’s the biggest issue more so than anything else. It’s like you lack any sort of personal identity to the point where you won’t consider anything fashionable until in very ultra famous celebrity wears it. Do you know how like cooked you have to be to get into a mental state where you don’t have any like thoughts of your own like in terms of style until someone else that’s a celebrity wears it? That’s insane. That is so insane. I think that’s the saddest part about all of it to be honest. Like the fact that these people don’t think for themselves. They need to wait for Kim Kardashian, for Kendall Jenner, for Kylie Jenner to wear a bra and be like, “Oh my god, bras are in now.” Oh my god. Did you guys know that like they sold these bras? Like, and they’re so stylish, too. Definitely a summer staple. What? What is What is Kendall Jenner going to do next? She’s going to wear like gray socks and everyone’s going to be like, “Oh my god, gray socks are in right now.” Oh my gosh, they’re cooked. And I brought the oil to for a double fry. Run me my money. These people are so unbelievably sheltered that a tank top is an epiphany. I know. It’s like it’s just insane. It’s honestly insane. Let’s watch some more content about this cuz this thing is just so interesting to me. Like I just couldn’t I almost thought like people were trolling until I realized that people were actually being serious about this whole tank top thing. It’s shocking. Let me watch this video as well. Tank top. What do you mean? So apparently a good portion of the internet has just discovered white tank tops or white beers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for you. You, they, them, whoever is included in this grouping. I am no stranger to sensationalist headline or pseudo hot take, you know, to get people’s attention. I am a fashion writer after all. But this is this fried me, okay? Because what do you mean? What do you mean the viral Kendall Jenner tank top? What do you mean? The funny thing is I was going to make a video about this when the whole viral Haley Bieber cap scarf combo was floating around like a year ago, but I held off. I charged it to the game. However, this Christopher Columbusing of a Hannes tank top is egregious. It’s upsetting me and my home girls. Okay, to be honest, it really is. Ask yourself, why does it take a white woman for something to be considered stylish, fashionable, cool for it to get your attention? Why? That therein is the problem. Fashion is universal. It’s global. You do not need to be a specific shade to be considered stylish. You do not need to be a specific gender to be considered stylish. Okay, I’m going to get off my soap box because we need to get to the actual good part. White tanks. It is something that I know very well. It’s also something I happen to know a lot about. I’m just going to let you know, speaking from experience, a Hannes white tank is only going to take you but so far. They’re cute, they’re cheap, they’re convenient, but they only last like three washes in the laundry. So, coming from a white tank connoisseur, let me tell you my favorites. Starting from the white tank top that I am currently wearing. This is more of a tip than a product recommendation, but I love to go thrifting for my white tanks. I just looked at the label. This is from Q mode. I don’t know what that is, but it is one of my favorite white tank tops that I currently have in my collection. Super stretchy and slightly compressive, so it snatches you in a little bit. And you don’t need a bra necessarily to wear this. I think I thrifted this for $2. So, yeah. thrift or white tanks. If you can afford to splurge just a little bit, this one is from Ammo. A M O the denim brand. It’s breathable, flowy, made with organic cotton. We love that. Appreciate that. Yes, give them options. Kind of reminds me of an upgraded Hannes tank. When you’re in a pinch, Zara will always come through. That is a fact. This is a new acquisition. I recently picked up this tank, I want to say last month. Zara will always have some version of a white tank in store, but this one is a bit different because it’s a little bit more in step with this season’s trend. She’s educating the girlies that haven’t heard of a white tank top for whatever reason. I like that. I like that. I have a white tank for every occasion. And with this one, I like to wear it with more elevated looks. So, think pair of trousers or a silk skirt. I think I paid around $10 for this. So, Culture in the chat said there’s no thrift white tank. She’s lying for real. For real. I don’t I don’t know. I’ve personally never seen a tank top thrifted before in my life, but I don’t know because I haven’t thrifted everywhere in the world. So, I I can’t imagine that she would lie about something like that. I think that’s a crazy thing to lie about. So, the price is good enough that you can buy this in multiples without blinking. Another splurge. This one is from AG Jeans, and it is one of my favorite white tank tops. What I love most about this tank is that the neckline sits so perfectly. It’s a little low, a little sexy, but it’s not too much. Slightly sheer, but if you don’t mind going balless, this will not be a problem for you. Also notice that this material gets softer the more you wash it, so it just gets better and better in my opinion. I do tend to wear this tied for a cropped look. And just like that, you have a fitted tank. You knew this was coming. The majestical tank air studio tank. One cannot talk about white tank tops or even tank tops in general without including this tank. And if you’re wondering, is it worth the money? Yes. Yes, it is. I’m sure I can write a dissertation about how much I love this tank. And actually, I did. I just find it so funny that she’s It’s a great video, by the way. I just find it so funny that she’s had to go out of her way to start educating people about tank tops because like tank tops are so basic. Like, they’re so basic and so ubiquitous. I just can’t believe like what kind of what someone said in the chat. What was it? Yes, I always thought these celebrity lovers are one email or one campaign away from joining an actual cult. And it it’s it sounds extreme, but you’re correct because if you will just do anything that celebrities do, Kim Kardashian, she gets bum surgery, so you get a BBL. Kendall Jenner wears a white tank top. So, so you’re like, “Oh my god, we’re wearing white tank tops now.” It’s like, yeah, what she’s wearing is not a tank top. That’s facts. That isn’t The strap isn’t thick enough. It’s It’s crazy. People literally worship celebrity. like they worship celebrities. It’s crazy. It’s insane. But let’s look at some more some more white tank top discoverers. What if I told you that the tank that Kendall Jenner is wearing in this photo is only $2. Kind of can’t believe. And it is arguably the perfect white tank. I saw Tanks talking about this and it’s only $2 because it’s actually Do you know something? Do you know something that’s really funny about these people that are in these videos? And it’s not it’s not even anything against them. It’s just specifically about this white tank top thing, right? They Yes. It’s the fact that they say it’s the perfect white tank. This is the thing that’s like really standing out to me. No one I know has ever said a Hannes tank top is the perfect white tank. It Hannes tanks Hannes tanks the threads come loose. The the fabric is like kind of thin. It’s just a tank. It’s it’s a cheap tank so you get what you pay for and people understand that. So no one expects it to be like the best quality in the world. So it just gets the job done. Exactly what people are saying. So when they say the perfect tank, no one How is it the perfect tank? They’re just saying that because Kendall Jenner wore it. So because Kendall Jenner wore it, all of a sudden now it’s the perfect tank. Like these guys are so cooked. They’re so cooked that Kendall Jenner wears something all of a sudden now it’s the perfect tank. No, it’s not. It’s just a Hannes tank is not the perfect tank. It’s actually a little boy’s tank and it comes in a pack. I told you that the tank that Kendall Jenner is wearing in this photo is only $2. Kind of can’t believe. And it is arguably the perfect white tank. I saw tanks talking about this and it’s only $2 because it’s actually a little boy’s tank and it comes in a pack of five for $10. I love the fit of it and how it’s a little bit cropped and you can wear a bra with it. It’s just exactly what I want in a white tank. I love it. What if I told you that the tank that Kendall Jenner is wearing in this photo is only $2. Kind of can’t believe. And it is arguably the I don’t know if she meant like the tank top she’s wearing is a little boy’s tank, but Hannes doesn’t only make like boysiz tanks, but considering her size, maybe she’s wearing a little boy’s tank. So, I think that’s kind of what she meant. But yeah, this this kind of what someone is saying. This has to be a scup. It has to be a scop because like there’s no way. There’s no way. Like there’s just no way. There’s just no there’s no way this is real. There’s just no way. I refuse to believe it. I cannot get over that. Girl, you got that Hannes tea. It was like this viral Kendall Jenner tank top. It’s a viral $2 Kendall Jenner tank top. Oh my god, I love it. It’s cropped and sheer. Baby, it was made for an 8-year-old boy. It’s not cropped. It’s not for you. We are so cooked. like the last like five videos on here, we are we are we’ve got a vir a viral a viral tank top that’s just a pack of hannes from the boys section and then and then I saw somebody else like gentrifying laundry baskets, paper towel holders. Those recession indicators, man, they are coming at me fast. Also, I saw an ad for a winery that reminded me that people born in 2004 are 21 this year. I don’t like anything about this app anymore, but here I am. I cannot get over that girl. Oh my gosh, that’s funny. It’s so funny how we always end up going back to recession indicators. I’m trying to find the original video of the woman who made the first like she was the first one. I can’t find it. I think she might have deleted her video. Genuinely, I think she might have she she must have gotten cooked so bad. I think she deleted her video. I can’t find the original video anymore. like the woman that had the first the first version of it. Damn, she deleted her video. I mean, she deserved to get The good thing about the internet is sometimes if you do something that is a bit silly, I think the the internet reserves the right to tell you that what you’re doing is silly. Like the internet does reserve the right to tell someone that thinks a tank top is perfect just because Kendall Jenner wore it and she didn’t know about white tank tops until Kendall Jenner wore it. The internet definitely reserves the right at that point to tell you about yourself. I think I think that’s one of those cases where the internet has to do its thing. And I think with her, the internet did its thing. And that’s why she can’t like literally you can’t find the original video. It’s just not even here anymore. It’s just not even here. It’s just people reacting to that initial video, literally. Okay. If you’re anything like me and you saw this photo of Kendall and Kylie recently, you’re probably wondering where Kendall’s shirt is from. Oh, yeah. This is the Guys, guys, I found it. This is the original video. This is the one. This is the one that had all the views. Okay, if you’re anything like me and you saw this photo of Kendall and Kylie recently, you’re probably wondering where Kendall’s shirt is from. I scoured the internet and after a ton of research, I found it. The shirt is a little boy’s That’s not research. That’s not research. It literally in the headlines of the articles, it said what brand it was. Shirt from Hannes. Look how good it is. I took a size medium and they come. Did she call it a shirt? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The shirt is a little boy shirt from a shirt. She has to be trolling. She has to be trolling. Look how good it is. I took a size medium and they come in a pack of five on Amazon for under $10. And so for size reference, I normally wear a double extra small in my SKIMS tops. This is what the package looks like, but I’m going to try to link it in my LTK and put it in the comments. And so the shirt does fall about waist length, but you can style it with a pair of cute baggy jeans. It doesn’t fall. Oh god, these guys. It doesn’t fall about waist length. You literally just said she bought a boy’s medium. It doesn’t fall about You just said you bought a boy’s medium. It’s too small. That’s You just bought the small. The size is too small. Everyone is saying, “Is this satire a real video?” After a ton of research, you people need your own identities. Is this rage bait because it’s working on me? Yeah, that’s the thing. You don’t even know what’s real or not real on the internet these days. But it’s just it’s just insane. It’s like people are like I’ve been searching far and wide and I guys guys I finally found out that white tank tops are in. Kendall Jenner was wearing a $2 tank top. $2 tank top and like it’s the perfect tank top for the summer. It’s the perfect tank for the summer. like this tank top right here. There’s nothing better better. Okay, this is the Kendall Jenner approved white Hannes boys tank top. I’m trying to style it for my outfit tonight. I think I’m going to cut it. So, we’re going to cut it together because I want it to be like low. So, my boobs are kind of like Guys, I told you my accent is correct cuz I want it to be like low because my boobs are kind of like sitting like like I wanted it to be like I swear that’s how these LA girls talk. Like no joke, that’s how they sound. Okay, this is the Kendall Jenner approved white Hannes boys tank top. Trying to style it for my boy’s tank top. I think I’m going to cut it. So, we’re going to cut it together because I want it to be It’s so fascinating how the intonations go upwards. White tank top. White tank top. Oh my god. Okay, let me actually just watch the video. One second. This is the Kendall Jenner approved white Hannes boys tank top. Trying to style it for my outfit tonight. I think I’m going to cut it. So, we’re going to cut it together because I want it to be like low so my boobs are kind of like poking out a little bit more. So, we’re going to cut it. I doubled it up so that it’s a little bit less see-through. But, I feel like What is she doing? Wait, wait, wait. What is she doing? What is she doing? What is she doing? What’s she doing? What’s she doing? What’s she doing? What’s she doing? What is she doing? Okay, I’m going to take it off. This is like the vibe. Like, so I think I’m going to line it the white tank top and see because this neckline is perfect. What’s she doing? What’s she doing? What’s she doing? We’re going to try it on. Oh no. No. The perfect one. Yeah, it’s rage bait. It’s rage bait. It’s rage bait. It’s rage bait. It’s like, what is she doing? It’s definitely rage bait. I won’t believe anything else. Yeah, I love I love that valley girl accent. It’s so funny. It’s like It’s just like what someone said. Is she asking us? Exact. Normally, when you’re when the tone of your voice goes upwards, it means you’re asking a question. Are you sure? Are you sure? that that’s like asking a question. Are you sure? If if I say, “Oh, really?” versus, “Oh, really?” So, like it’s I feel like the LA accent makes you use like the wrong intonations because you It’s weird. Tank top. I’ve got a white tank top. Why do they speak like that? Kendall Jenner. Kendall Jenner. basically Kendall Jenner w she was wearing this like really great tank top and I just think it’s like the perfect tank top for the summer and so all the giries are wearing it for the summer and and the Toronto accent will actually boss your brain. I I can’t do a to I don’t even know what people from Toronto sound like. Like I’ve been to Toronto twice but I I don’t I haven’t gotten to grips with the accent yet. Oh gosh. Yeah, obviously it’s a specific part of LA of people that sound like that. It’s a very specific side of LA. I don’t want to hear it. Interesting. So, yeah, guys, that’s the the whole saga. Apparently, some people online just found out about white tank tops. Can you believe it? Absolutely insane.
Why did Kendall Jenner’s basic tank top go viral?
In this video, we’re diving deep into the viral TikTok phenomenon sparked by Kendall Jenner wearing a simple Hanes tank top to a Knicks game. While a plain white tank is a universal staple, a new generation is treating it like a groundbreaking fashion discovery.
We’ll analyze this bizarre trend and discuss the alarming lack of personal style and critical thinking it reveals among some fashion consumers. We’ll also break down how this could be a calculated marketing ploy and why brands like Hanes might be behind it. Ultimately, this isn’t about a tank top; it’s about the influence of celebrity culture and the unfortunate reality that for some, something isn’t “fashionable” until a celebrity approves it.
What do you think of this viral trend? Let me know in the comments!

The gentrification of clothing basics, when even your wardrobe staples will increase in price.
I think they just trying to make videos mentioning kendal jenner because they know they will get views, I refuse to believe they are actually just discovering white tank, there is no way
"Do they go around [shopping] with their eyes close?" lol …still funny
Kendall going viral for this reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where everyone couldn’t stop talking about the woman walking down the street in just a bra. It’s so ridiculous that it becomes funny. Honestly, a part of me thinks Kendall didn’t even give much thought to wearing it, and that just makes the whole thing even more amusing.
The problem with TikToc followers is that the majority of them are at certain age where they live their lives via social media exclusively. They have no originality and just mindlessly follow their favorite influencers and trends. Many are devoid of an original thought…they just follow follow follow. That is why they all dress the same. Can I tell you that I was staying in this swanky hotel in Santa Monica and 4 female Gen z’ers walk in to hang out at the swanky bar and they were all literally dressed the same. Body con dress with blazer…it was hysterical to me…various colors but the same basic outfit. Sad sad sad…..and since many of their followers are in the U.S. you can now see why we are in the mess we are in now. So many have no critical thinking skills over here and just follow blindly. Pathetic..I am in my 50’s and run circles around this age group with how I style my fits. Every time I go to the Soho Warehouse with my husband this generation are amazed at what I am wearing. Good for me because I do love fashion and make in effort but sad for many of them because they just look boring and basic all the time. I just don’t understand the need for sameness. My two cents!
We used to call these vests and were consider undergarments for men. Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s both men and women wore them as clothes (ghetto streetwear, casual jeans fashion, like pj’s). Glad I’m not on that TT app.
I've thrifted tanks before. Most thrift tanks are never worn to gently used tanks. But white tanks are usually the never worn ones.
In my country white tank tops for decades were for men to wear under shirt and as a sport top during Soviet era.
Like look at sport videos of schoolers if like 60s everyone is wearing white tank tops. Even when i grew up in 90s children had staple white tank tops attire for kindergarten And in 2000s we wore tank tops if we were part of subcultures: Avril Lavigne and punk rock for example were huge in this, double layered tank tops, i wore them
Of course brings in the race card
Love your take on this. “Cooked” 🎯
‘Like, ugh-ma-gawd’
I was in Aritzia today and the Gen Z crowd hanging in the changing room as a ‘place to be’ if you get me. It’s seriously so sad. The lack of education, which you can hear when they express themselves with very few real words in conjunction with the sterilization of culture due to Corporatization has truly destroyed so many of these kids.
Perfect example of an NPC
We are getting trolled talk cause there is no fucking way this shit is real this whole ordeal has pissed me tf off 😂😂
I can't think of anything more basic than a tank top. people really have absolutelly no criteria. if influencer culture made things bad, the chat bot bubble made it even worse. they lost all sense of hope
I SCOURED THE INTERNET FOR FUCKING HANES???? Ban TikTok
I can you see you in a tank top balling, belly hanging out, sweating on everybody, lol.
This is funny, I wish they do more of this; perfect tube socks this winter, girls will start sagging with jockey boxers showing.
Lets also talk about the gentrification of the NBA; sky high ticket prices, no real fans in the stadiums, its becoming a resort and casino.
N.P.C.'s over 9,000. While everyone is during a ton of research for the PERFECT white tank top. Kendall probably got hers from one of her nephews.
They didnt see kendall after the game drive off in a $300K Porsche and go to an exclusive night club they cant get into.
Ever seen Keeping Up with the Kardashians..they all have the same accent
The crazy thing is that, while ofc it should be obvious that tank tops were always an option, tank tops have already been "on trend" for at least two summers now. And my "on trend", I mean whereas people previously didn't let them show all that much before, so many people across so many genres of style have been making it a deliberate point to let their tanks show beneath their tops. So this is just weird in every direction.
the kardashians ability to stay relevant for over 2 decades with 0 talent needs to be studied
This trend bothers me most not because it’s BEEN a black culture staple, but because this proves these “infleucers” are not actually influencing fashion & culture. They’re basically a bunch of sheep that need to be “marketed to” and influenced by celebs and true fashion folks. It’s so annoying.
Most of these “people” on TikTok are literal children lol. And the adults playing into this nonsense are just doing it to get views.
*woman are losing their minds
Tank tops are basically camisoles without the cleavage.
This is definitely a Regina George moment ( when holes were cut out her tank top by Janice. Regina strutted it out which then created a trend at school.)
