Hottest Tube Tops of 2023

This buying guide is more like a fashion guru that can help you choose tube tops that fit your personality and style perfectly.

What Factors Should You Consider When Buying a Tube Top?

If you want to buy a spectacular tube, these five points must be on your mind at all times.

Body type

A tube top that looks great on your friend might not necessarily look good on you. You need to think about the shape of your body and where it is most flattering for you to wear an off-the-shoulder garment like a tube top.

For example, if you have wide hips, wearing something that hugs your waist will be perfect for you. On the other hand, wearing something with no cleavage is best if you have a big bust, as it won’t make your upper body look more prominent.

Do you feel comfortable enough?

A tube top is typically a tight-fitting garment. You should decide whether or not you will feel comfortable wearing such an outfit. You don’t want to spend money on something that will never get worn.

Style

Tube tops come in different styles. If you want something that can stand out, it might be best to choose a tube top with lots of embellishments or patterns on it. On the other hand, if you want something simple, choosing a tube top with less detail can work great.

Fabric

You should keep this in mind because some tube tops are made of cotton or other breathable fabrics that can be worn in the summer. Others might be more ideal for colder months if they have a thicker fabric.

What Are the Different Types of Tube Tops?

There are many different types of tube tops that you can choose from. The best one for your body type is based on what you want to wear it over and how much coverage you need when wearing the top.

Halter tube top

This type of top is perfect if you want something that looks sexy but still has coverage. It can also look great with high-waisted shorts or skirts to show off your waistline and make your figure appear slimmer. The halter tube top can come in many colors, patterns, and materials like lace, silk, etc., so there is something out there for everyone.

Bandeau tube top

A bandeau (or banderina) tube top covers the chest area and is one of the most common types of this style of top. It offers comparatively more coverage than a string tube top but still leaves a lot to be desired. There are bandeau tops that have added features like padding, underwire, and different necklines (like v-necks or even cowl necks), but they can tend to be quite expensive as well.

Tube top with a strapless bra

This top can be worn by women with underwire bras and those who need to avoid the bandeau tube top because they don’t provide any support. The strapless bra is essentially built into this tube top, so you don’t have to worry about finding one that will work for your outfit or chest size.

String tube top

The string tube top covers the chest area but does not offer much support or coverage. It can be difficult to find one that fits properly and does not slide down. String tube tops can be great for going out to a club or dancing all night long.

How To Wash a Tank Top

This may seem like an easy question to answer but not all tops are made the same. That’s why they cannot be washed similarly.

Machine washable

In case your top is machine washable, consider getting a mesh bag that can protect your tube top from being caught on any other clothes in the machine. This will ensure that it stays together and doesn't get torn or ruined.

Once you have a mesh bag, throw your tube top in the washing machine with a few other similar items. This can help to even out any stains or discoloration from water that's not the right temperature.
After you have washed it, make sure to hang-dry your top instead of using a dryer, in order to prevent any shrinkage.
By hand

We all have clothes that we just can't put in the washing machine, so it is necessary to know how to wash them by hand.

  • Fill a bucket with some cool water and detergent. You can use dish soap as well, but it does not have the same type of enzymes as laundry detergents do, so your clothes won't be as clean after washing them if you choose that option.
  • After filling your container with the appropriate amount of water, place your tube top in and let it soak for about 15 minutes. This allows all the dirt to seep into the sink or bucket so it doesn't get transferred onto other clothes while washing them. Your tube top should be soaked through when you take it out of the water.
  • Next, take your tube top and gently scrub it in a circular motion with your hand to get all that dirt off. The only way you will be able to clean this type of clothing is by manually removing any stains or spills before they set in for good, so make sure you are not being too rough when you do this.
  • Once you have scrubbed away all of the dirt, soap, and any other residues from your tube top, it is time to rinse off the detergent. Fill up another sink or bucket with cool water and let that go through your tube top for a couple of minutes before taking it out again.
  • If you have any stains or dirt left on your tube top after rinsing, take a little bit of bar soap and scrub those away with your hands. This ensures that nothing gets left behind.
  • Now hang-dry your tube top, and you are good to go!
  • How To Style a Tube Top in an Attractive Way

    Though tube tops are a summer staple, many people find them difficult to wear. After all, they can be revealing and not exactly the most comfortable thing to wear during the summer months if you’re not super confident in your body. However, with a little creativity and some fashion know-how, you can make tube tops work no matter what!

    Here Is How You Can Wear a Tube Top Depending on Your Style

    • You can wear a tube top with high-waisted shorts and flats for a chic and casual look.
    • You can also pair a tube top with leather skirts and combat boots.
    • Wear a tube top with overalls and sandals for a feminine yet preppy look.
    • You can also combine a tube top with mini skirts, pastel heels, and a trendy clutch to create a stylish look.
