How to Wear Tiered Tops

Yuliya Bohush
Sleeveless tiered top is very popular in this season. However, it's a look that's very hard to pull off - especially for those ladies with a bigger bust. But for those with the opposite dilemma, tiered top is a chic fix.

Choosing the Tiered Top

Avoid looking clownish by choosing bright colors. Bright tiered tops usually end up looking like a child's fairy costume. Instead, the look you want is delicate and understated. Try pale pinks and tones. If you have a larger bust, black or charcoal is best, because lighter colors will visually add more volume to your bust line. Anama solid tiered top is a perfect example of pale pink delicate look.

No matter what your body shape is, it's important that the top hits you at your hip bone. If it's too short, you'll look like a 1960's go-go dancer - but if it's too long, you'll look somewhat like a triangle. Also, make sure the top is fitted on your chest just above the bust; that way, it gives your figure more definition in the top.

How to Balance and Accentuate the Tiered Top

Balance is key when wearing a tiered top; in that manner, they're rather like trapeze tops. Since the top is so voluminous, you can achieve balance by opting for skinny jeans. If you feel skinny jeans don't suit your figure, try straight legs or a trouser leg. Avoid flares or wide legs, because they will make your figure look too bulky and create an awkward silhouette. Anama tricolor tiered top shown on the image is balansed with ripped jeans, in this case women skynny jeans.

Skirts can also be worn with tiered tops, but, again, balance is the key to pulling off the look. The best option by far is the slim-fit miniskirt. If you chose to wear a miniskirt with your top, black is the easiest color to pull off.

For a fun, but daring, casual look, go for a pair of cropped leggings.

How to Accessorize Tiered Top

It's very important not to overwhelm a tiered top with overly chunky jewelry. The idea is to invoke images of a ballerina or Aphrodite - not a clown. Elegant gold jewelry is the right balance between bold and frilly. Delicate and bohemian headpieces are also a great option and definitely enhance the goddess vibe.

An oversize hobo bag is the perfect way to tie the daintiness of the top and the sharpness of skinny jeans together. To keep with the earthy theme, opt for a pair of gladiator flats to finish the look.
