Summer 2010: Sizzling Tops
Dare to bare this summer? Then it’s time to bare in style. You don’t necessarily need to focus on swimsuits. Summer fashion this year is more concentrated on the out-of-water dress code. Are you bored with the usual tank tops and denim shorts? Make some changes this season. Bare those tanned shoulders, chest, and neckline with the best and trendiest tops of all time.
Cami – It’s almost impossible not to have a cami in your closet these days. You can use it as a feel good top on days where you don’t feel like dressing up. Camisoles are perfect for the summer. They’re made from the thinnest yet most comfortable fabric. With a camisole you can feel fresh all day without looking like a home buddy. And the best part is the latest camis don’t just come in the usual designs. They also come in smocks, cami vests, and the like. You could say a camisole is your best friend for the summer.
Tunic – Do you want to look like the modern Helen of Troy this summer? Then go get a tunic. It’s the most stylish summer piece. You can use it as a top or a dress. Tunics were originally worn by Greek women. Now they’re adaptive to modern clothing and they’re known as very versatile tops. Like a summer dress, a tunic is feminine, and very comfortable to wear. But it’s more subtle and more chic. Why wear it this summer? Tunics can be worn for either ordinary days or special occasions. You won’t go wrong with a tunic. It’s fashionable, pretty, and worth the buck.
Bralet – A bralet top is indubitably perfect for the summer. It’s very flattering, very sexy, and ultra feminine. A bralet top, like the bustier, is known for hugging the chest and giving the torso so much definition. It contours a woman’s upper part and gives a very slimming effect. A bralet is perfect for skirts, jeans, shorts, and practically whatever. It’s the most dramatic top that will make you look just as hot this summer.
Bandeau – a bandeau is another clothing piece that many have gone gaga over for the past year. This summer a bandeau still takes part in the trend. Whether you wear it as an inner garment or as is, a bandeau will look great for the summer. Bandeaus are a better version than the typical tube top. They flatter the body, give it shape, and like the other tops it bandeaus are also very sexy. They’re perfect for innerwear during night outs. They’d look good underneath blazers and other thin over coats.
Smock – Whether you’re thin or a bit on the heavy side, a smock will make you look hot and fashion forward this summer. It’s one of the most comfortable tops and yet it sacrifices style not one bit. A smock is perfect with denim shorts and maxi skirts. Whether you’re at the beach or some stupendous summer rest house, a smock keeps you chic and comfy all day long.
