STYLE 2.0: SWIMSUITS AND BRALETTES ARE THE NEW TOPS

My Style

Shop these bikinis and bralettes that work even better as tops

We’re arguably living in the most experimental era of fashion, no doubt that we’ve seen fashion from the strangest to prettiest, especially in the past decade. While some of the styles got discarded in the pile that may never be dug again and some are here to stay for longer. Adding to this adage of fads, there is a modish yet convenient trend arising – wearing bralettes and swimsuits as mainstream top-wear! You may have experimented a hundred styles of swimsuit or bralettes, but have you given a thought to don them outright as a top. Its perks? You don’t need to wear a bra; because your bra is your only top! Pair it with blazers or jackets to keep your bra top style flow effortlessly to the chilly fall evenings.

Although this trend has been noticeably carried off by several A-lister ladies – sometimes in the support of #freethenipple propaganda or the name of experimentation. But if that hasn’t convinced you yet, we are sure this curation of chic bralettes and swimwear that works fabulously as tops will.
