The look I've been obsessed with lately is a loose tank top that lets the bandeau peek out.
It's very important not to show too much skin when trying out this trend. Bandeaus, bustiers, and corsets tend to show a lot of skin on top, so I would recommend covering up on the bottom (or wearing some kind of jacket). You want to look sexy, but not slutty!
Here are some ways to try out this trend:
- A corset paired with a maxi skirt (a corset adds shape & keeps you looking young, and a maxi skirt will keep you covered in a stylish way)
- You can try this trend with outfits/clothing items that call for more skin on top to keep balance or keep you looking young & sexy
- If you're looking for something to wear over a two-piece (bandeau/bustier) swimsuit, you can take advice from the Glamour May 2011 issue. Some tips are: mix bright patterns with classics, like menswear separates; accessories should say "summer" and "ease" as with a clutch: "grab & go"; balance shorts with a sexy rope accented shoe. (outfit put together by designer Peter Som; pg. 108)
- Freida Pinto, on the cover of Glamour magazine - May 2011, wore a Peter Som bra top and shorts.
- A bandeau is a flirty piece under your favorite cardigan (Glamour magazine - May 2011)
- A bandeau and high-waisted bottoms (high-waisted bottoms cover most of your stomach, so they keep your outfit balanced & keep you from showing too much skin)
- Wear a bustier over a long-sleeved shirt; it keeps you from showing too much skin, and it makes it possible for you to wear your corsets during winter (Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style)
- I think letting a corset peek through a plaid button-down, or wearing it with a "boyish" outfit, adds a great & feminine twist
