Strappy Top – The Most Important Basic of the Summer Wardrobe

Short answer: A strappy top is the most flexible basic of the summer: it can stand alone on hot days, sit under open shirts and cardigans and work as a discreet inner layer under thin blouses. Choose a strappy top in bamboo viscose, and you get a soft, breathable fabric that hangs smoothly around the body.

Why the strappy top is indispensable in summer

When the temperature rises, a light top with straps is the natural choice. It gives air to your shoulders and arms and can be combined with just about anything. See the selection of bamboo tops for women, where you will find styles with both thin and wide straps.

Bamboo makes the difference on hot days

Bamboo viscose wicks sweat away from the skin and feels cool, even when the sun is blazing. That means fewer clammy moments and a top that still looks presentable at the end of the day. Read more about how the material works in the post on bamboo and temperature regulation.

From beach to dinner

A strappy top in a neutral colour can be dressed up with a skirt and down with bamboo shorts for women. On cooler evenings you simply put a bamboo sweatshirt for women over it. Find the rest of your summer wardrobe under bamboo clothing for women.
