Bandeau Bikini
Its hard to say when the first bandeau bikini appeared on the scene, but one thing’s for certain – its here to stay. The bandeau is the hands-down favorite for small-busted women, due to it’s unique shape. Bandeaus come in all shapes and sizes, but the one thing they have in common is that they all lean toward a “band” shape. Some are strapless, while others have straps. The term bandeau refers to just the top of the bikini.
Who Looks Best in Them
Quite simply, bandeau tops look best on small-busted women. Large breasts tend to look squished and contorted in an unnatural way when stuffed into a bandeau. However, on smaller-busted, petite women, the bandeau accentuates the torso in a pleasing way. If you’re a C cup or smaller, you’re a perfect candidate for a bandeau top. Let’s pick one out, shall we?
Types of Bandeau Tops
The Straight top is probably the simplest definition of what a bandeau is. Consisting of nothing more than a single piece of fabric wrapped around the chest and tied in the back, this simple garment could have been one of mankind’s earliest creations.
There are numerous other types of bandeau tops – too many to discuss at length here. Pictured above is a 2-piece bandeau, bound together in the front by a ring studded with crystals for an extra added bit of flair. Some bandeaus have a strap that goes from the center of the chest around the neck to make sure the bandeau doesn’t “slide down” accidentally.
A Word About Sizing
Its important to find the right size when shopping for a bandeau. You want the fit to be relatively snug, so that the top doesn’t move around or shift as you move around, but you also want to make sure the top isn’t so tight that it digs into your skin. Its an individual balance you’ll have to find for yourself. Generally, if your cup size is AA, go for an XXSmall bikini. If you’re an A, go for an XSmall. If you’re an A/B, go for a Small, and if you’re a B/C, go for a Medium. From there you should be able to find the perfect bandeau for you.
