When Cara Delevingne stepped out for Stella McCartney’s Fall 2015 show in Paris, she effortlessly showcased how to make a bandeau top appropriate for daytime. If you’ve been wanting to give the super-cropped trend a try but are weary of showing too much skin, look no further than a tuxedo-inspired topper. Cara opted for a button-embellished jacket and trousers, but this look can be achieved with a vest, dress or blazer. A little bit sexy and a whole lot of chic, allow these outfit pairings to inspire you to take the plunge.

Striped
Inspired by Cara's striped top, try a variation of her look by belting it underneath a long vest that double as a dress.
Bustier-Style
Give the look a major rock 'n' roll feel with a bustier-style top and embellished blazer.
Lace
Balance the coquettish vibes of a lace bralette with a longline vest in a romantic pastel hue.
Bright
Add a fun pop with a brightly colored bandeau, then top with a tailored blazer to ensure the look remains sharp.
Ribbed
Because comfy can be chic—pair a softly ribbed bandeau with a buttoned vest in a similar hue for a monochromatic effect.
