What is a Tube Top?
A tube top is a woman’s clothing item that is a type of top, or shirt, without sleeves or straps. Thus, when one wears a tube top, the shoulders are left completely bare. A tube top takes the form of an elongated ring or band of material. Imagine a close-fitting tank top with the straps cut off, and you’ve got a crude tube top. The material of the tube top wraps around the chest and, depending on the length of the top, may leave the midriff exposed, or covers the belly. Since tube tops have no sleeves or straps, they are usually made out of stretchy material, such as a spandex blend, jersey, or another knit material.

These features also help prevent the tube top from slipping out of place. The first go-round of the tube top trend reached its peak in the United States in the
