The bandeau is a strapless band of fabric worn across the bust — minimalist, sun-friendly, and endlessly layerable. It works as a top, a layering piece, or swim cover-up.
Wear a bandeau under sheer blouses, open shirts, or blazers for coverage with edge. As a standalone top, it pairs with high-waisted everything.
Try the bounce test — jump once; if it shifts, size down or choose a style with grip strips. Wider bands stay put better than skinny ones.
Bandeaus suit smaller to medium busts best; larger busts need styles with boning, silicone grip, or wider bands for support. A secure elastic edge is non-negotiable.
