The 2026 Way to Wear a Tube Top (If You Want to Look as Elegant as Possible)

Tube tops aren’t always known as a chic piece, but this summer we have to make the most of what we have. The record heat is forcing fashion people to get even more creative with outfits to stay cool in, while also looking chic. Doing so in a tube top may sound difficult, but Poppy Delevingne cracked the code at Wimbledon over the weekend.

If you know anything about Wimbledon, you know it’s a sophisticated, relatively dressy event, so Delevingne wearing a tube top may sound counterintuitive, but she styled it so elegantly, and her entire outfit felt very on-trend without being trendy. She did so by pairing a white tube top with black wide-leg pants, creating a contrast with her proportions, which is always a smart style trick. She kept her accessories minimal, but eye-catching, with a silver collar pendant necklace, a black leather bag by The Row, and a pair of black oversized sunglasses. She effectively made a casual summer item look elegant, put-together, and event-ready.
