When I was growing up in the 2000s, tube tops were pretty popular amongst elementary-aged girls. I never really liked them because to keep them from falling, they were usually made with really tight elastic around the top that I always found really itchy.

Funny how things come back in style every decade – especially something as ubiquitous as a tube top! It's a summer staple.

“Why don't you dress more like your sister?”: Mom defends 11-year-old daughter against scathing comments from family members for wearing tube tops, they pit her against older sister's more modest fashion style
In the summer, it's hot; so, it makes sense to want to want to wear less. That is why one might choose to don shorts, tank tops, and tube tops. Now, there are times where this type of dress might be inappropriate – even in the summer. But 90% of the time, wearing summer clothes should be okay for all ages. Of course, shorts meant for adult women are very different from the styles sold to young girls. Shorts sold in the main area of Forever21 might be more form-fitting than those sold in their kids' section. However, it is really up to the parent to decide what is appropraite for their child and what isn't.
In our story today, a mom finds herself defending her daughter's decision to wear tube tops. Her family not only disparages the young girl for her fashion choices, but pits her against her sister with a more "preppy" style. Scroll down for all the details.
