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! This season, the new shapes are all about flaunting your waist. We’re showing you three ways (without any workout in sight!) that’ll guarantee you’re gonna rock this cheeky trend right.


Flirtyyy

What could be more romantic than donning a floral bandeau top? Spruce it up with a pair of high-wasted shorts and a faded denim blazer. Add suede heels and a bright bag in a similar hue to elevate this look’s style status.

Comfyyy

The thing about bandeau tops is that you’re showing off more skin than normal--so ya def don’t wanna cross the fine line between totally cute and totally uncomfortable! This laid-back denim vest has you covered. Opt for a high-wasted A-line skirt and flat oxfords and top it all off with some bold, colorful jewelry!

Edgyyy

One of our fave ways to wear bandeau tops is under a loose and sheer tank--it’ll give it an edgy-meets-sporty vibe that is perfect for bowling nights or shopping sprees at the mall. Add a chic hat and fun earrings to rock your pink faves without looking too presh.

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...
