VIDEO: How to Style Bandeaus

Hey girls! I was originally going to just do a blog post on how to style bandeaus, but I figured a video showing various outfits would be better. Plus I have never done a styling video, and I’d love to do more fashion videos and post. So you tell me, do you like these types of videos, or should I stick to the makeup?

I adore wearing bandeaus in the spring and summer. They are perfect for hot days when you don’t want a bunch of layers. They allow you to cover your bust area, and not have annoying straps showing like camis do.

I am obsessed with neon this season, so my first look is this neon pink bandeau from Charlotte Russe. The yellow tank is from American Eagle.

The next look is the same pink bandeau, but with a sheer with button-down from Forever21.

This is the same hot pink bandeau, but worn with a white boyfriend style tee from Target. I love these loose shirts for lazy days, and the pop of neon is so cute.

The next bandeau is a gorgeous corset-style neon coral lace bandeau from American Eagle. This tank is from Forever21, and shows a bit more skin on the sides. I love this look, just not brave enough to wear it out. I guess it just depends on where I’m going.

Next is the same lace coral bandeau, but under a flowy floral dress from Abercrombie. The lace and the floral give it a super girly look.

The next is the same coral lace bandeau, but paired with a loose cotton tank from Old Navy. This also shows a lot under the arms and in the back, so the lace looks really pretty showing through.

My next look is a basic black bandeau from Wet Seal. I paired it with this gorgeous sheer lace crop top from Forever21. This is a bit daring as well, but again it depends on the occasion. The neon pink bandeau also looks really pretty under this top.

Next I have the same black bandeau, but worn with a cowl-neck open back top. The back is really pretty, and should not be worn with a bra or cami with straps. The bandeau provides coverage, but also doesn’t take away from the design.

My last look is a bright blue/teal bandeau from WetSeal under a floral crochet-back tank from Forever21. Just like the previous top, wearing a bandeau with this style looks much better than a bra or a cami. Even a strapless bra would show since the arm holes and back design come down low.
