A nude
bandeau is the single greatest fashion secret since seamless undies and proper
tailoring.
It always
seems like the best shirts are sheer—and betches love tucking those things into
high-waisted black skirts. Taking a hint from the Spring/Summer 2014 shows, we now
have the privilege of feeling on trend while looking forward to some quality transparent
pieces outside of Forever21. (Thank you
Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim.)
But if you’re
about to drop bank on something straight off the runway, or even if you’re counting
out $14.99 for an almost exact replica, you’re not going to want to ruin the
sexy sheerness with a buzz killing white tank top underneath.
Unlike the
Jill Stuart model (pictured above), it’s essentially socially irresponsible
(re: indecent) to go headlighting yourself around the city. Now this is
probably the only time AA cups are superior to the vast majority because yes,
all you need are two little stickers and your boobs are no longer offensive to
the world. But if you’re like me and need a bra (or aren't comfortable with a permanent nip slip), check out the nude bandeau
section available at nearly every boutique and department store. They really
are the best kept secret.
If going
sheer is your opportunity to flaunt your belly button or abs (pshh), a
white tank top is going to ruin that. It will also ruin any shirt without a
scoop neckline. For this purpose, all
you need is something easy to slide on to cover up your slutty bra and make it seem like you’re on
the trend of foregoing the underwire.
Nude
bandeaus are practically invisible under all colors and prints and when paired
with your staple white long-sleeved shirt, no one will notice if you’re bra
doesn’t fit properly or if you decide to wear the [impractical] lace flaming
red bra you got at last year’s Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale because if
thick enough, the nude will cover up all colors and textures.
Happy sheering!
Nude bandeau available from Nordstrom here.
