Tube top from Costa Blanca
Jeans from American Eagle |
A tube top is a piece of clothing that is shoulderless and sleeveless and wraps around the upper body/torso. Generally, tube tops are very tight over the chest/breast area, so as to prevent and avoid these garments from falling down. This is usually achieved by using elastic material for the whole garment, or by simply putting a garter on top and/or bottom, and/or around the chest/breast area of the garment. I read from Wikipedia that the first tube top was actually a "mistake," however, samples of the product were being distributed already. Surprisingly, the tube top received positive reactions from the market, which placed them on shelves worldwide within a month or two. It reached its peak in popularity in late '70s, and disappeared from the fashion scene in early to mid '90s. It regained the limelight in 2000's, and with various versions of the style coming out, it has been "in" since then.
My only tip for ladies out there who are fond of wearing tube tops is that to make sure that you wear a nice undergarment with it. Wardrobe malfunctions often happen, and you don't want to be caught wearing granny undies. LOL. Seriously, you don't want to flaunt unsightly things, so equip yourself with a good-looking and supportive undergarment, in case an "accident" happens (as they say). Hehe! In my case, I usually wear a bandeau over a strapless brassiere under a tube top. I just can't afford a Janet Jackson nip slip moment! ☻

This post is very informative. I learned a lot about the history of tube tops -- how it evolved from a simple mistake to glamorous fashion. And let me just say that you look fantastic in it too! Spring is coming, and so you embrace it with the flowery print that's just very welcoming.
ReplyDeleteThe pointers are quite useful as well. Ladies should pay attention to that.
Awesome post! Keep 'em coming!

I used to love wearing tops, esp. when I was in Pinas, kasi naman, ang init doon! Now, I can't wear them. Ang lalaki na kasi ng mga braso ko. Nakakahiya na talaga. Lol.
ReplyDeleteBPC hop!
never pa ako nakapag wear ng ganyan, alam mo naman sa mga public figure na tulad ko, di maisuot ang gusto... pero teka, mag diet muna ako bago ako mag try nyan ah... he he :)
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely and sexy my dear. Tube tops are not my go to outfit, but once in a while I would wear it when the weather is very unforgiving and you wish you were naked because it is so hot! hehehehe.. Visiting late via BPC.
ReplyDeletewoootwew! sexy! gorgeous sis :) i am not fond in wearing tube tops but i was able to wear a halter dress (parang tube tsaka may tie from front to back of the neck coz I'm afraid it might slip down. was able to wear it to review a product, waaa...). i bet you're excited to wear those back in this warm days...
