Swimwear styles featuring details like buttons, zippers and ruffles can easily pass for traditional tops.
While Bella opted for a simple black bandeau, it was how the model styled it that made the look acceptable for the streets.
Similar to a crop top, a bikini flashes a lot of flesh. To offset the amount of skin on display, high-waited bottoms like Bella's are a wise choice.

To seamlessly incorporate swimwear into your emsemble, look for silhouettes that mimic that of regular shirts, i.e. capsleeves, off-the-shoulder and deep V. You paid too much for two squares of fabric to not get a lot of use out of it.
While Bella donned a black triangle cut top at the Heron Preston, this style of suit looks more like swimwear than other offerings currently on the market.
For those that don't like to flaunt their mid-section, one-piece suits can also be worn as tops, just treat them like you would a bodysuit.
