I think two closet basics deserve more praise, especially as we head into the spring season: T-shirts and tank tops. They're essentially the perfect bases for all of your spring outfits. I try to update mine every year, and this spring, I'm doing so while I can find them on sale.

As a shopping editor, it's my job to have a finger on the pulse of every best deal online—and some very good ones are going on right now. I found every base layer you need for less, from the perfect white T-shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch to elevated long-sleeve tees perfect for mastering tricky transitional weather. I even picked out the cutest cropped tee in spring's trendiest color to take your casual looks up a notch.

Keep scrolling to shop 20 on-sale T-shirts and tanks from my favorite retailers like Gap, J.Crew, Madewell, Nordstrom—its Spring Sale is happening now, by the way!—Shopbop, and more. This list is bound to have your next favorite spring layer for less than $100.
