Strapless tops were one of the most popular trends of last year (we’re looking at you, Georgia Love!), and it doesn’t look like they have any plans to slow down in 2017.

Seriously. I dare you to walk down the street now and not see at least three women (or men) wearing some form of strapless top or dress or playsuit.

But while they look great, they do have a downside. Literally - they fall down constantly.

8 Go-To Looks For Every Party This Holiday Season

Nothing To Wear

Here are 12 other things no-one tells you about going sans sleeves.

1. There will be boobage.

It doesn't sound possible, but somehow these garments will manage to defy both logic and gravity.

"I'm wearing one right now and I have underboob AND overboob," says Kate.

2. You cannot have any tan lines.

EVER.

And if you do catch the sun? You'll be wearing strapless for the rest of the year.

3. It will0 fall down.

It's a scientific fact that you will spend approximately 87.6 per cent of your day/night pulling your sleeveless top up to prevent full-frontal flash. You have been warned.

For real though. Image: Supplied/Brittany Stewart

4. You will not be able to get anything from the top shelf.

Try to lift your arms up above your chest, I dare you.

Likewise, if you put your arms in the air, prepare for the top to follow and end up around your neck.

5. You will get it dirty, very fast.

"If you do you make up in the morning (I use my hands) and then pull it up (like you do all day) then you inevitably get makeup all over it. Or fake-tanned handprints," says Jess.

6. You will look naked in every photo.

Be prepared for the oh so original comments to come. (Post continues after gallery.)

7. They're not nice to your boobs.

"Even the perkiest boobs look saggy," says Willow.

8. And that's if you can find one for bigger boobs at all.

It's an impossible task.

9. You will spend half your life trying to find the right bra.

Unless you're lucky enough to go without, of course.

Impossible.

10. Bulging armpits.

'Nuff said.

11. It's not as cooling as you think.

"If you think your shoulders will 'get a cool breeze' for hot days, think again. They're so much hotter than they seem. That's the clinging on the shoulders and chest, I guess..." says Anna.

12. You're at risk of being chased down and courted by 12 bachelors.

Alright, alright - a girl can dream.
