Bandeau Tops
What is a bandeau top?
A bandeau refers to the top of a swimsuit, whether it's a one- or two-piece. It's most often found in a bandeau bikini top which is sold separately from the bottom. Most people envision those sexy, strapless styles that wrap around and show off a woman's neck and shoulders, but there is actually a wide variety of charming bandeau swim tops.
What styles do bandeau swimwear tops come in?
There is the always appealing strapless bandeau top that looks like a skinny tube top, held in place by an inner elastic band or drawstring. But, if you need a little more support, you might just fall in love with bikini bandeau tops that have adjustable, removable straps that form a V in the middle of the chest and tie behind the neck. Another popular style is the center ring or "keyhole", which is delightfully feminine and flattering. One of the latest trends in bandeau tops is the one-shoulder look with shirring and side boning.
Why are they so popular?
Besides the sexy shape a bandeau bikini top offers, many women love them because they allow for an even tan with no unsightly strap lines. Even if your bandeau has straps, it's often easy to remove them and you don't have to worry about the top slipping. Women also like the flexibility of a bandeau top - it can be mixed and matched with a variety of bottoms, skirts or cover ups, and can even be worn beachside as the top to an outfit
.
Who should wear them?
While bandeaus look fabulous, the strapless or V-shaped styles are more suitable for some women's bodies than others. The intention is to be minimalist, so they seem to be more attractive on women with smaller busts who don't need that extra layer of support. While they're designed to provide a certain amount of security against slippage and shifting, they don't look as attractive when they need to "hold down the fort." Women who are more full-figured can try bandeaus with outer shoulder straps.
