Last summer, Vogue announced the return of the tube top. Strapless necklines are still going strong, thanks to the rise of bandeau dresses and corsets. Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski are the poster girls for the 2022 tube top movement.
EmRata has shown that Wolford’s body-skimming Fatal dress, which can be worn several ways, is a great investment piece. Hadid, meanwhile, recently channelled Sandy from Grease in a second-skin stretch-satin bandeau and matching leggings while on holiday.
From Rhode to Cult Gaia, these brands were made for the beach.
After the perfect strapless corset? Miaou founder Alexia Elkaim collaborated with her longtime friend and supermodel-of-the-moment Paloma Elsesser on a collection of cool-girl corsets and ready-to-wear pieces. Her standout Leia corset style is available in sizes XS to 4XL.
This season’s sexiest strapless creations also come courtesy of Anthony Vaccarello, who debuted numerous sculpting one-pieces in Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2022 collection, inspired by Paloma Picasso. Elsewhere, Pieter Mulier made a case for sultry strapless looks at his Alaïa showcase, and presented several high-shine dresses.
It’s shaping up to be a strapless summer. Shop the trend, below.
