A word that is likely to strike fear and horror into many a grown womans heart, the bralet comes to the fore once again this season but its far more wearable than you might have thought.
From Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, bralets have made their way onto some killer bodies, and whether cotton poplin or leather and lace, always maintain a youthful and carefree sex appeal. Get the proportions right and the bralet can be a key piece with all the va-va-voom of the early 50s Sicilian siren (think Dolce & Gabbana, whose domestic goddesses guide the sentiment of this seasons crop tops).
A tiny sliver of skin is all thats needed to achieve the effect: pair a bralet with a high waisted skirt or tailored trousers, and top with a breezy open shirt and heels, and youve got a winning combination thats the cream of this summers crop.
