Hot or Not: Floral Bustier Tops

Hot or Not: Floral Bustier Tops

As we progress into summer, I've taken a new liking to cotton floral bustier tops. When you hear the word bustier, satin and lace might be the some of first words that come to mind, but this sexy new crop of tops is just as fitting for the boardroom or the beach as for the boudoir.

Paired with some distressed jeans or cuffed dress shorts and flat embellished sandals, they're perfect for warm summer days. For modesty, layer a tee or tank underneath the bustier or throw on a cardigan for more coverage on chilly evenings. Paired with a pencil skirt, oversize blazer, and peep-toe pumps, floral bustiers become office-appropriate, and they work just as well for a night out with a voluminous mini skirt, shiny bangles, and sky-high platforms.

1. Floral ruffle corset, Forever 21, $16.80, 2. Dark roses cup corset top, Topshop, $70, 3. Floral belted corset, A'gaci, $13.99, 4. Rose bustier top, Charlotte Russe, $26.99.

Would you don a bustier any time soon? Is this trend hot or not?

I like them but I wouldn't wear them alone. I'd probably pair it off with a light colored simple 3/4 sleeve cardigan.

I've taken a recent liking to floral, but these aren't very pretty. Number 3 in particular is the most ugly.

I think they'd be cute...on the right person. You need a good body to pull them off.

I don't like the pattern. It reminds me of grandmas.

I think bustier's are cute, but if your chest is too big or too small, they don't really work. I like the last print

not..they look a little tacky. maybe if the floral were less bold and the shape a little less....conformed it might look good.
