How to Wear the Tube Top Trend
Like all things Y2K, tube tops are back in a major way this summer.
In accordance with low-rise jeans, whale tails, Juicy track suits, and mini skirts, Y2K style is all the rage, from the runways to your Instagram feed. But while tube tops gained notoriety during the early aughts, they have a rich history entwined with the disco era.
The style came onto shelves in the '70s, when a young Elie Tahari discovered the silhouette by accident and sparked a sensation. The tops became a staple throughout the Saturday Night Fever disco era, and have been drifting in and out of style ever since. Beloved by Britney Spears and Carrie Bradshaw alike, they became the essential going-out top in the late '90s and early 2000s for their understated sexiness and ease. Get ready to show some shoulder this summer and check out how our favorite celebrities and influencers are taking the tube top into 2021.
