Frequently Asked Questions
What are some outfit ideas that incorporate a tube top?
The great thing about tube tops is that they’re super versatile. When it comes to how to wear your tube top, then, the sky is the limit. In general, we’d recommend trying to pair your fitted tube top with a flowy skirt or loose-fitting linen pants to mix things up. Alternately, if your tube top is on the loose side, you can’t go wrong with a perfect pair of skinny jeans or even leggings.
What are the best strapless bras to wear with a tube top?
Look for a bra that’s stretchy but offers optimal support; underwire is your friend in this case. Ideally, your bra should also come with removable straps and have an elastic interior to prevent slipping and provide the best fit possible.
