Boob Tube Is The Epitome Of The Noughties, Here Are The Best

Boob Tube Is The Epitome Of The Noughties, Here are the Best

When you think of boob tube also known as a tube top, it reminds us of the days of Destiny’s Child, Carrie Bradshaw in ‘Sex & The City’, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s early days, pastel pink and lavender, skirt and trousers in one, Furs, etc. these are what encapsulate the noughties’ fashion sense back then.

The noughties also known as ‘Y2K’ is back for 2023 and we are making a stop at the shoulder-bearing top known as a boob tube, the fashion staple has become a new wardrobe classic this summer season. It is so easy to wear and style, it goes well with any elevated or dressed-down look. For example, to have fun with this top, pair it with your favorite Cargo trousers and finish with a pair of strappy sandals, slingback pumps or slingback sandals, a straw clutch bag will elevate and finish the look, find your favorite jewelry and ‘you’re golden’ for a special occasion. Take the same outfit and dress it down with a pair of tan leather slides or white sneakers and you’re weekend ready with friends etc.

Although you’re not limited to wearing this new trend with baggy cargo trousers, we also have the cargo mini skirts finished with pastel oversized linen blazer, Maxi slip skirt is been going around this summer, and a neutral tone tube top can also be part of this look for any summer dinner dates or events. It can also be part of your denim looks from shorts to boyfriend jeans, etc.

If you’re a minimalist, you can take inspiration from this ’90s trend, by wearing it with your favorite linen/cotton wide-leg trousers, think of Bottega Veneta’s sculptural Fisherman top handle bag as part of the finishing touches to the flattering silhouette. The tube top is so versatile in use, for work place a linen blazer on top, for special occasions look for a pair of heeled strappy sandals, for casual days find a pair of tan leather slides.

To buy this trendy staple, go for at least 3 pairs, one in a neutral tone for work, one pastel for play-time, and metallic/sheer for part-time, discover the most stylish ones on the market right now:
