Best Body Types Work for Bandeau Tops
Wear a bandeau with ease if you have medium to large breasts or are a little top heavy. Bandeau tops work great to draw attention away from the upper body.
For women with a smaller chest, the bandeau can still look good, but it’s better to go for one that has a neck strap for the right look. Fringes and ruffles will also enhance a smaller chest.

Wearing the Bandeau
During the warmer months, bandeau tops can be the perfect choice for wearing under a sheer or lacy tops. Wear it under backless summer dresses to add a bit of interest or simply use it under any tank tops with a plunging neckline.
Bandeau tops can also be worn on top of fitted t-shirts, but they’re really spectacular when peaking out of outfits. Tight v-necks and oxford shirts work great with a bandeau in matching colors underneath.
For a truly spectacular festival look on a hot summer day, pair an animal print bandeau with a maxi skirt. You can also rock your favorite bandeau tops with high-waisted bottoms in the summer.
The bandeau is also a great choice for the beach, but make sure you’re cool with the tan lines you’re likely to get if you stay out in the sun too much without the right sunscreen for your skin type.
