How to Wear Bustier Tops in Summer

Bustier tube tops can provide an essential balancing factor in your summer outfits: Cinching, or sometimes even just the illusion of cinching through neckline and cut. If loose tops paired with loose bottoms are making you feel sloppy, opting for a bustier tube top style can help “reel in” your shape and take you out of this seasonally common styling rut.

Bustier Tops with Trousers

Pair your top with trousers, heels and a clutch for a night out, or consider a lightweight linen bustier/trouser set in neutral colors for a sleek day look.

Bustier Tops with Jeans or Cargo Pants

Channel your inner it-girl with a tank top upgrade. We love bustier tube tops with jeans or cargo pants for a trendy casual date look or for outings with friends.

Wear your Bustier with Mini or Maxi Skirts

Whether it’s a flirty day look in a mini skirt, or an elegant dinner out in a breezy maxi; A bustier brings shape and balance to the open silhouette of a skirt!

Bustier Top with Shorts

We love the playfulness for a bustier shorts set for city walks, ballgames and summer park dates! Pair the look down with sneakers or sandals or dress it up with delicate flats, chunky loafers and micro heel mules.

Layering Your Bustier Top: Over or Under

For arm coverage, temperature changes or extending the trend into workwear, consider these three ways to layer your outfit:
1. Pair your bustier with a blazer.
2. Layer your bustier over a button up shirt.
3. Layer a linen button up over your bustier.
