    Generally, no. There are certain exceptions, but they are rare.

  2. punkass marc says:

    Unless the exception is your chihuaha Fifi, no.

  3. R. Mildred says:

    I second that, they clash with breasts.

  4. Chris Clarke says:

    Clarifying question. Are we talking about on women?

  5. Kyso Kisaen says:

    Look, I know for a fact that women up to and including size 30 can get tube tops, despite the fact that there are (or should be) international laws to prevent such garments from being created. So I’m willing to let them slide for a woman who is a) boobless and stick thin b) not wearing a miniskirt or similar trashy lower-body cover and c) is properly accessorized to convey that “I’m so fucking cool I don’t even care that tube tops are tacky” attitude. Basically, a woman of appropriate proportions can wear a tube top if every other thing she puts on is designed to draw attention away from the tube top.

    Even then, it’s risky.

    Worn with irony?

    I’m of the belief that anything can be worn with irony.

  7. Roxanne says:

    In general, no.

  8. Dykonoclast says:

    Girls can only pull them off if they’re super skinny with tiny buoyant breasts. If you have bosoms [like I], you should really just forget about it. Strapless bras don’t work and they never have.

    You can wear tops just as skanky while wearing supportive bras that present your tits in a flattering manner. Wear those.

  9. No, but halter tops are okay. I had a nice one that finally died. And now I have no idea what I’m going to wear to the Yuppie Pricks beach party. My uniform has always been a halter top and cut-offs, pure Texas beach party trash. *sigh*

    I think children under the age of 6 can pull off tube tops. I’d still be sending looks at the parents, though.

    You weren’t standing in front of a mirror contemplating this, were you, McBoing?

  11. An Honest Question…

    And mine is a bit more blunt that McBoing’s. Examine the following:

    Would this item increase or decrease one’s “hookup-ability” at the Local Corporate Coffee Purveyor?

    Whoops. 2 TBs. BTW, “Yes” on YKW.

    What’s a tube top?

  15. Christopher says:

    Well, it’s a top, in the shape of a tube.

    Pretty simple, really. The only thing not mentioned in the name is the fact that they’re strapless.

    Anyway, I have to say, “no”.

  16. Douglas, Friend of Osho says:

    Oh, you mean those strapless jobbies that kinda look like an evening glove with the hand part lopped off? That’s what they’re called. Thanks.

  17. Douglas, Friend of Osho says:

    Thanks, Kyso. God, do I feel old.

    Yes Tubetops.. YES! Perfect for the slutty look.
