My inner teen is quaking. I don’t care what anyone says, tube dresses should be a staple in your closet. Trust me: I don’t say this about every trend. A constant mainstay on the runways and spotted on celebs like Hailey Bieber, tube dresses are one of those 2000s fashion trends that have made an immense resurgence over the years. Yes, they were undeniably hot back in the day, and they can still have a place in your closet now. Besides, who wouldn’t want to just slip their ’fit on?
Designed in ample colors and styles today, my two favorite things about the strapless bodycon are that they effortlessly accentuate any figure and offer so much versatility for styling. Dress it up with some jewelry, kitten heels, and your favorite designer bag for an upscale look. Or, opt for a more casual version when pairing it with trendy sandals. There are no wrong answers here. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the 15 best tube dresses of 2023 you can add to cart, pronto. After all, you can never have too many in your summer rotation.
