I am 25 years old. Is it still socially acceptable for me to be wearing a tube top or do I need to move to California to get away with this sort of behavior?
[Tube top: Beau & Eros // White Jeans: Gap // Bag: Hayden-Harnett for Target // Shoes: Seychelles]
In my defense, I actually purchased this tube top from a Boutique my sophomore year of college, so I was 19 at the time. But, to be fair I must admit that I wore this outfit to work on a casual Friday.
So what do you all think? Do certain clothes have an age limit or are there always exceptions to every rule? I confess I’m guilty of failing to consider my age when shopping or dressing myself. But the truth is that I am firmly in my mid-twenties. And since I am actually closer to 30 then I am to 20 (please excuse me as I FREAK OUT over this), isn’t it time I started to dress accordingly?

as long as you are able to keep a tube top up on it’s own, i find it acceptable! hehe
You look adorable and comfortable, which is the key to pulling off any look at any age. So go for it!
I think that, regardless of age, if you can pull something off then you should go for it! And this may be a tube top but you’ve really styled it age appropriately with the white pants and the accessories…so it totally works!

You look fabulous dear….Wear it more often ..
Love the tube top! How cute. You are one of the few people who can pull off white jeans,
besos,lynn
Sorry, I disagree, no tube tops over 20 and never to work
You can definitely pull off a tube top! I think you look very Carrie Bradshaw-esque and super cute!
I have these dilemmas too and I’m far away from 25! I think a tube top this pretty is worth wearing on its own
Hey sweetie! ok, first off I think you look ADORABLE, and totally pull the look off without appearing too young or trying too hard. But for work, I’d have to say it’s slightly inappropriate, even for casual Friday. (How not casual is your work on not a Friday?) I’d cut off tube tops (without a sweater) at age 40. With a sweater? as long as you’re confident and own it!
An age limit on tube tops?! I sure hope not. That just doesn’t seem fair.
Love your smile
I think it depends on the person but in general I don’t think mid-twenties are too ‘old’ for tube tops. This post is proof, you look fantastic Ashley. As a manager at a large corporation I do agree however that they wouldn’t be appropriate for work.
And from what I remember it’s time again to say

Hope this one’s your best ever.
I can’t condone a tube top to work (unless you work at Wet Seal, in which case, rock it!). BUT, you can definitely wear a tube top when it looks that good on you! Now imagine that said in a creepy, sleazy man voice.
and…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA! I still wish you were and Boston and I miss you!
I don’t know what the rule is for tube tops (I don’t personally wear them, but that’s just me!), but I too am closer to 30 than 20 now. That was a freaky realization.
Come to Cali!
I don’t know, I think you can wear whatever you want, anytime you want, as long as you feel comfortable and confident in it. Like you do here!
XXo,
Neekoh
what? first of all you are still young and you look incredibly young!
tube tops are fine unless youre 60- then you must wear a blazer or cardigan as well.
i think its wise to dress to flatter.
i wear things now that i wore when i was 14! haha.
come visit my blog!

Don’t see anything scandalous, but sure does look flattering with the tube top u bought when u were 19. And yep, still look fab as ever. Can’t believe you wore that to work though, as I’d think its not a good idea to wear a tube top to work (now that sooner or later you’ll be approaching your 30′s) Egad!!1
