The bandeau bra is a strapless bra option similar to a tube top that is essential for any woman\u2019s wardrobe, as it allows you to wear cute summer tops and dresses without worrying about your bra straps making an appearance. In my article below, I discuss exactly what a bandeau bra is and why you need one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWhat Is a Bandeau Bra?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bBandeaus are strapless, stretchy pieces of fabric with a thick band on the top and bottom. The elastic is meant to hold everything in place, and the soft stretchy fabric allows for comfortable all-day wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a typical bra with a clasp in the back, the bandeau is fully connected all the way around, making it an easy slip-on bra. Most bandeau bras also have removable pads to keep your nipples from showing through.<\/p>\n\n\n

No Straps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bandeau bras are strapless, though some styles come with removable straps if you\u2019re looking for a little more support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elastic Material<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bandeau bras are made with flexible elastic fabrics that mold to your body, with thick elastic bands and the top and bottom edges of the band that help keep it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Back Hooks or Fastenings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The bandeau bra has no clasps or closures, and is super comfortable. It is easy to slip on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bandeau bras date back to the era of ancient Greece, during which they were called \u201capodesmos\u201d, and can be seen in the murals and frescoes depicting Ancient Greek life. Bandeaus were originally soft fabrics that were wrapped around a woman\u2019s torso to shape their chest. For a time, they were used to flatten and compress instead of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal Body Type for Bandeau Bras<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u200bBandeau bras usually work best for medium cup sizes and smaller. The flexible fabric of the bandeau offers enough support to keep A cups and B cups in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some bandeau bras that provide a clear division between the cups for more support and better breast definition. \u200bLike bralettes, which offer light to medium support,<\/a>\u200b\u200b \u200bbandeaus \u200bcome in specific bra sizes and they typically range from extra-small to extra-large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Bandeau Bra Used For?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bandeau bras can be perfect for the minimalist who wants a chameleon-like piece within their wardrobe. The bandeau could also work for the backpacker looking to save room in their pack, or be part of comfortable loungewear for a busy college student. The bandeau bra is versatile, and can be used for many situations.<\/p>\n\n\n
