3 ways to rock a bandeau top

The question is not IF you’d wear a bandeau top this spring, but HOW you’d wear one! And we've got three...

I absolutely love bandeaus. it's a way to wear less in the summer and such without having to actually wear almost nothing. It's not like a bra in my opinion at all, it's a top so I don't understand why everyone is freaking out. This article definitely wasn't intended to seem "skanky". In my opinion, it all depends on how comfortable you are with your body and how confident you are to wear one in public. Also, it never said you have to wear then this way!

I wear a bra size 30b but it's very hard to find that size and the only place I know that carries them is Victoria's secret and my mom says that Victoria's secret is too sexy even though she shops there and I shop there in the pink department!!! How can I convince her to let me get a bra there?




Hey chica, first off, there are other stores that carry bras in size 30B. So you can try Hanes or Target if your mom is really against Victoria's Secret. But if you're dyin' to shop there, the next time you and your mom are at Victoria's Secret, try to find the most modest-looking bra in your size, and then bring it over to show your mom. If she gets some actual proof that not all the bras are inappropriate, maybe she'll change her mind.

okay, the girls saying that these outfits are slutty and will "attract the wrong attention" are REALLY starting to make me angry. just because a girl wants to wear a cute summer trend that completely covers her up by using different types of clothing that aren't the normal t shirt and shorts does NOT mean that she is a slut!! and bunnehz: how DARE you say that only a girl without self respect, class or dignity would wear this. do YOU see gl telling girls to leave there nipples out for the world to see? NO. do you see any outfits above showing off a thong and a bright neon push up bra? NO! these outfits are completely appropriate. i am EXTREMELY offended by your comment. i would wear one of these outfits (with the blazer or vest over it) does that mean that im an easy slut who has no class, dignity, or self respect? of course not! well at least i am not thought of as a slut to people who aren't closed minded, rude and hurtful.

Hey girls! At GL we want to promote a positive, inclusive environment and that means that mean words are out. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if your words could hurt someone else this is not the place to post them. If we start to accept certain types of language we are not only being disrespectful to others, but to ourselves.

okay, people need to stop saying this is like wearing a "bra and shorts" in public. all of these outfits cover up way more than that. you don't wear a bandeau on its own, you wear a blazer or a vest or a shirt over it, like you would with a cami or something like that. and if you think these are immodest, there are many more ways to wear bandeau's! i use them under shirts with a low collar or under a shirt where i don't want my bra to show through. they look nothing like bras. although, i would wear this more in the summer rather than during school months, and never wear it to church or anything. but for walking around or hanging out, it's really cute and not at all inappropriate and i'm 14 and my parents are fine with it...

the last one said it was perfect for bowling or shoppping... what the heck?!!!!! are you even allowed to wear that in a public place?! If i owned a bowling alley or store or whatever, i would ask whoever was wearing any of these outfits to get out of my store immediately! that is just so wrong how people think this is OK to wear IN PUBLIC!!! YOU ARE BASICALLY WEARING A BRA! what gives! its disgusting and no girl with any dignity, class, or self respect would wear it anywhere! if you are reading this comment and defending yourself and why its OK to wear this, reevaluate yourself. i would not wear a bra in public. ick.

Mod! Mod!
so are u supposed to wear the bandeau with a bra? cuz wouldnt that look awkward??? also, do they make bandeaus for larger-chested girls??



It's up to you.  Some girls feel strange without a bra, and some prefer to just wear the bandeau.

You can always try a strapless bra, too!

And yes, bandeaus come in all sizes for all gals.

ok so i hav bad acne on my back and shoulders and my formal is coming up soon! any ways i can either get rid of my bacne before may or a cute dress that i could wear to formal (short, not long) to cover my shoulder and back acne up?

Hey girl,

Don't spend too much time worrying about your body acne -- most people suffer through bad skin at some point in their lives, and the good news is that it's probably a lot more noticeable to you than it is to anyone else! For fast results, use a salicylic acid body scrub (Neutrogena has some great ones) and follow up with a body moisturizer, preferably one with alpha hydroxy acids. You can also find a short-sleeved dress or wear a shrug if you're still feelin' self-conscious! Have fun!

I didn't even know those were considered a shirt. I personally think it is a bit odd to wear that kind of thing out in public. I mean a two piece swimsuit at a beach is different because it's the beach. No one would wear a swimsuit like to the mall or school or something because that would be weird. If you wear one under a shirt fine but in my opinion it is weird to just wear that with no shirt. It does attract the wrong attention. I mean you wouldn't wear a bra out in public and this is like that same thing. Everyone has their own opinions though...

Hey! I want to go bowling with some friends, but there's, like, 11 people I want to invite to come! Should I invite all 11 o just do two different groups? Thanks!

 

Hey! That depends. If you went bowling for a birthday party it might be fun to invite everyone.  If not maybe two groups would be better Smile

i like it; but the high waisted skirt and shorts and the olive color isn't good. but wearing one with a button up shirt with knotted shirt tails, flip flops and cutoffs would be super cute.

Okay ladies, hold up a sec! Look, GL only wanted to make a new trend, and plus remember that this is not for school! This might be nice outfits to wear at the beach, or in the summer! Stop saying this is not "modest" or it "attracts the wrong attention". 'Cause that's not true, if you wear it at the right places!

i have to say this these are not "skanky clothes" cause im sure some people DONT have a problem wearing a 2piece swim suit in front of a bunch of people on the beach!! if this was a swim suit no one would have a problem with it. GL is doing a great job to me.

lol its not like GL is telling you to go around flashing your boobs everywhere you go. every single outfit has something to cover you up a bit. these clothes arent skanky or slutty so idk what your problem is.
