Bra Tops: Wear Your Innerwear As Outerwear

  



This season, the classic underpinning reveals itself as an eye-catching wardrobe staple fit to be seen.  Not since Madonna and her cone-shapped bra circa 1990 has the spotlight shone so brightly on inner-as-outerwear.  On Summer's runways modest bra tops cropped up as the perfect counterparts to high waisted skirts and briefs.  The style is reminiscent of bikinis sported by old-school Hollywood starlets.  But they're hardly unmentionables- these little somethings are worth shouting about!

This Summer season has a batch of bra tops that ring a retro bell. With straps or strapless, in cotton, satin or leather these bra tops are expressed in many materials and patterns. Bra tops are found in collections or separates areas, but don’t stop there. If you are inspired by the looks below feel free to venture into the swimwear section where you will realize they are sporting the same designs in bikini top offerings.

The wearability of these sexy tops is endless.  Wear yours with a crisp, tailored black or white suit, cropped pants, slouchy pants, skinny jeans, shorts, a pleated mini, form fitting midi, or flowy maxi skirt.  These tops are a chic way to stay cool on those scorching hot days.  However, you need to keep in mind that your stomach will be exposed, so if you’re not fond of showing off the belly, a great tip is to stick to anything high waisted when it comes your bottom half. This will be sure to cover up that muffin top you might be looking to hide.

Check out the looks below from style experts and the season's top designers.
