You could also go a bit trendy on the top to freshen up the look eg:<br /> Shirring (with or without puffy sleeves)<br /> Cutaway (racer back) tank<br /> Muscle tank with padded shoulders (as Bella also suggested)<br /> Square cut neckline top<br /> Cut out top </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199517 Tue, 01 Jun 2021 16:50:32 +0000 Tanya 2199517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for all the suggestions!&nbsp; I think there are plenty of ideas to play with now.</p> <p>Aquamarine, thank you for condoning the tie-front shirt idea.&nbsp; I have been trying to find some linen ones in "my" colors.</p> <p>Suntiger, thank you for all the suggestions!&nbsp; I have the BR wrap top in different colors and will see how it works.</p> <p>DonnaF, thank is a great outfit on you, than you for posting!&nbsp; &nbsp;Loose and asymmetric top seems very current to me.</p> <p>Runcarla, love the polo idea, and&nbsp; I have several.</p> <p>Janet, happy to hear that you are revisiting your Meave skirt, too.&nbsp; Looking forward to your outfits with it.</p> <p>Roxanna, nice to see you, too, and you are welcome!&nbsp; Thank you for posting your outfits as inspiration, they are all great, and I especially like the 2nd one with the scarf.</p> <p>Mirjana, I appreciate the reminder posts very much!</p> <p>Angie, thank you for chiming in!&nbsp; I have all the four types of tops you suggest, so will be giving them all a try.</p> <p>Star, glad you are enjoying the thread and all the outfits posted.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199500 Tue, 01 Jun 2021 16:00:27 +0000 Star (Lise) 2199500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great ideas here.&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>DonnaF</b>, love your outfit and your clogs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Roxanna</b>, love your last outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199447 Tue, 01 Jun 2021 13:07:50 +0000 Angie 2199447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great ideas and outfits!

I’ll have to dig out my pencil skirts too - they were so comfortable. I wore them last year with boxy or drapey tops mostly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199329 Mon, 31 May 2021 23:14:25 +0000 Janet 2199329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that Maeve patterned skirt too, from years ago, but I haven’t worn it in a couple of years since I was up a size and it got a little too bodycon for my preference. It’s now in my donate/holding zone, but the recent discussion of tube skirts and a little bit of weight loss on my part have me wondering if I should give it a try again with my new tie-front tops. It’s also not the coolest, breeziest skirt so not great for the hottest days. Still, I am still fond of the print. You have inspired me to explore the possibilities again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199322 Mon, 31 May 2021 22:26:48 +0000 Carla 2199322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a polo shirt tucked in? &nbsp;Sneakers for casual, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199320 Mon, 31 May 2021 22:18:32 +0000 DonnaF 2199320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know that this look is 2021, but it was supposed to be hot today so I went boho lite. It’s not really hot (in the 70s), so I need to wear my clogs for warmth instead of sandals. Reviews of this top complained about tummy baring, so I knew it would probably work for 5’1” me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199317 Mon, 31 May 2021 22:10:45 +0000 Anonymous 2199317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I wear them with most of my tops- all in Finds. Here's a few of the newer ones.<br /> Side tie and asymmetric tops work really well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199310 Mon, 31 May 2021 21:20:46 +0000 Aquamarine 2199310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Cardiff girl! I like a third piece with my tube skirts because I don’t do body-con. But I like the idea of a shirt that ties in the front. I bet you would rock that look, Tanya.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199308 Mon, 31 May 2021 21:18:27 +0000 Tanya 2199308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the great input and suggestions!</p> <p>Smittie, love both suggestions.&nbsp; Chunky sandals and sneakers were footwear choices I was thinking off.</p> <p>Star, I hop there will be some ideas on the thread that will appeal to you.</p> <p>Chewyspaghetti, that is a great outfit.&nbsp; I will try something similar.</p> <p>RoseandJoan, that outfit looks beautiful, the colors are stunning.&nbsp; Semitucking the tee sounds right.</p> <p>Phoebe, yes, I saw Sally's recent outfit and agree that it looked very good.&nbsp; I have stored the idea for future trial.</p> <p>Jonesy, love the idea of cropped cardi, have several of those!&nbsp; You are correct that very long and loose is not usually my thing.</p> <p>Rachylou, I plan to try that blue tank with the black ruched skirt.</p> <p>Bella, thank you for all the ideas.&nbsp; &nbsp;For the tops I can do short and boxy, and also short and formfitting as long as there is no actual skin exposed around the tummy area (likely with a topper) , but I am afraid I am past the days of wearing super cropped and fitted tops with tummy skin exposure, and it wouldn't look good on me, either ( the last two photos you posted).&nbsp; I will enjoy that look on others.&nbsp; However, I really like the first idea, and may hunt down a suitable tee.</p> <p>Cardiff girl, I am pretty comfortable with bodycon fits, so they would work.&nbsp; &nbsp;However, I am not comfortable with actual skin exposure in the abs area - my muscle tone needs some work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199307 Mon, 31 May 2021 21:15:06 +0000 Cardiff girl 2199307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends how comfortable you are with the body con silhouette.If l was to wear a tube skirt with a cropped top l would feel self conscious about my stomach area and l am more comfortable with something that skims over this part! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199271 Mon, 31 May 2021 19:08:02 +0000 bella 2199271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your ideas. I am also seeing them with all sorts of cropped tops:&nbsp;</p> <p>Boxy, T-shirts, like so&nbsp; - but you could go less sexy, obviously if you like :)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.beginningboutique.com/products/laurena-knit-midi-skirt-black?refSrc=4170156212281&amp;nosto=productpage-nosto-1">https://www.beginningboutique......81&#038;no</a></p> <p>Form-fitting tops, like so:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.beginningboutique.com/products/laurena-knit-midi-skirt-white?currency=USD">https://www.beginningboutique......rrency=USD</a></p> <p>I've also seen new generation cropped tops with shoulder pads, that would really make this look contemporary.

Could be short-sleeved, or maybe a cropped hoodie, or how about a cropped cardigan? Or go really long and loose on top for lots of drama (though I don't think "long and loose" is your style!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199238 Mon, 31 May 2021 16:58:59 +0000 Anonymous 2199238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally's long over short top in her recent post looks fresh, neat and very wearable to me. Cropped top for leg lengthening and long cardigan for coverage.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199235 Mon, 31 May 2021 16:55:24 +0000 RoseandJoan 2199235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's how I'm hoping to style my last remaining tube skirt, I'm just waiting on the opportunity to wear it. I will probably semi tuck the tee.</p> <p>I would also fully tuck a baggier fit band or graphic tee also.</p> <p>ETA although it skews into long over lean territory I do like a sleeveless trapeze blouse over a tube skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199225 Mon, 31 May 2021 16:23:38 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2199225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After seeing kellygirl's styling, I decided to wear mine the other day.<br /> I wore it with a boxy tee, and cropped denim jacket and sneakers. I think the boxy, cropped tops are perfect for pairing with a tube skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199220 Mon, 31 May 2021 15:57:24 +0000 Star (Lise) 2199220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love tube skirts and want to know if there is an updated way to wear them.&nbsp; Looking forward to ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199217 Mon, 31 May 2021 15:42:40 +0000 smittie 2199217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah, I think boxy tops is a good way to update this silhouette. Possibly also some chunkier sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-tube-skirts-in-2021#post-2199211 Mon, 31 May 2021 15:34:22 +0000 Tanya 2199211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several old tube skirts, from 7-8(?) years ago when they were very popular.&nbsp; They are in the Finds, the fourth one is technically not a tube skirt but close enough.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am feeling like wearing them a lot this summer, and wondering if there are any new ways to style them.&nbsp; Back then, at the height of the long-over-lean silhouette, they were worn with longer untucked tanks/tees/simple tops, with possible addition of a short topper, such as denim jacket or moto vest.&nbsp; &nbsp;This obviously still works, but I was wondering if there are any new ways.&nbsp; I was especially curious about the current boxier shorter tops, for example those that tie/knot in the front, like the two I attached.&nbsp; &nbsp;Feel free to suggest any alternate top shapes.&nbsp; I would also love to see your recent tube skirt outfits, so please post them here! </p>
