Top With Thin Straps – Guide
Short answer: A top with thin straps is the lightest and most feminine of the basic tops. It is an obvious choice on hot days, under open shirts and for festive looks. In bamboo viscose it hangs smoothly around the body and keeps you dry and cool at the same time.
When are thin straps the right choice?
Thin straps give maximum air to your shoulders and arms and a light, summery look. The top works on its own in the heat and as a pretty inner layer under an open shirt or cardigan on cooler days. See the selection of bamboo tops for women.
What to be aware of
Thin straps rarely cover a bra strap, so the top calls for either a strapless bra, a bra with detachable straps or a style where the strap is allowed to show. An alternative is a top with built-in support or a soft bamboo bra without underwire in the same colour as the top.
The material makes the difference
Bamboo viscose breathes, wicks sweat away and feels cool against the skin, which is ideal for exactly this type of top. Read more in the post on bamboo and temperature regulation, and combine the top with bamboo shorts for women or the rest of the range under bamboo clothing for women.
