Today's Fashion - Tube Tops

The term tube top is used to describe a top that has been tightened by means of elastic bands, which are strategically placed at the top and bottom of a garment. This top first appeared in the 1950s with the purpose of preventing a woman's breast from dropping.

In my opinion, the evolution of fashion has transformed this form fitting top from a purpose into a fashion style that I cannot get enough of.  Based on the textiles of the tube, it can be used casually or added with accessories, it can be used as a dressy top.  Paired with leggings this outfit can be used on a night out with friends.

As a Trini, I wear my tube tops to parties, but they are sometimes difficult to find in local stores. Check out three of my favourite tube top pieces below: -
 


 

Do you love tube tops as much as I do?
