Tiny tops always find their way back into the fashion cycle when the weather starts to get warm. At first, it was the tube top. It was one of the '90s' biggest trends and made its way back during the late 2010s and even the 2020s. Then, it went to the crop top. The crop top is now a wardrobe essential for the perfect Y2K-inspired look, or to pull a Bella Hadid look when paired with baggy pants. Now, the bandeau top is circling back around. Although it may look like a small strip of fabric, this top is incredibly fashion-forward. Brands like Jacquemus, Skims, and Prada are all jumping in on the trend.
Some of fashion's top It girls, such as Kim Kardashian and Julia Fox, have all been spotted partaking in the trend. L'OFFICIEL has compiled a list of the best ways to wear a bandeau top to have you looking stylish all spring long.
Denim DIY
Have a pair of jeans that are too big to wear? Turn them into a matching set. Julia Fox sports a matching denim bandeau and jeans set for the perfect Y2K-inspired look. Bandeau tops are the perfect tiny top to throw on with a good pair of jeans for a sexy, yet comfortable nighttime look.
Preppy Set
Want to channel your inner '90s prep? This look from Jacquemus is the perfect example. The sporty look is a '90s staple, and bandeau tops can help you achieve the go-to tennis girl style. Pair a bandeau top with any mini skirt for a chic daytime look.
Tracksuit Set
If anyone is the master of the velour tracksuit, it's Paris Hilton. Hilton is seen here with Kim Kardashian as they pose for Skims. Kardashian wears a pink velour bandeau top with matching tracksuit bottoms for the perfect modern take on the 2000s staple look. For those days where you want to look put together, but can't be bothered to try and find an outfit, try this bandeau top look.
Dress Up
While bandeau tops may seem like they're only good for casual wear, they can be the perfect top to accentuate any sophisticated outfit. Vanessa Hudgens wears a black bandeau top with a gorgeous glimmering skirt for the perfect sophisticated, yet stylish, business casual look.
Tiny Top, Big Pants
The tiny top, big pants trend took over last summer. Known for her amazing street style, Bella Hadid, was one of many to participate in the trend. As bandeau tops are back on the rise, this is the perfect time to bring out your comfy baggy pants. Pair any bandeau top with big pants and sneakers for the perfect cool-girl look.
Maxi Skirt Moment
Maxi skirts are the skirts that always seem to come back. Although mini skirts are having a moment right now, we can't deny that their longer counterpart is just as cute. Wearing a bandeau top with a maxi skirt creates the perfect beach time look. You can dress it up for a glamorous nighttime look, or dress the look down with sandals for daytime wear.
Every Day Basic
Finally, we have the basic top vibe. Bandeau tops are a great layering piece for any outfit. Wear underneath a jacket for a plain base layer, or underneath a sheer top for more coverage. There are tons of ways to style this simple top.
