A bandeau is a simple band of cloth worn over the breasts, serving both as a fashionable accessory and a form of lingerie.

Part of speech: noun
Definition: Originally a French term, the word 'bandeau' refers to a band or a simple, strapless strip of fabric often worn around a woman's breasts. Its simplistic design allows for versatility in use, from swimwear to undergarment or as an accessory beneath sheer tops or dresses. Unlike traditional bras, bandeaus are usually without fasteners or wires, prioritizing comfort and ease of wear. The adaptability of the bandeau to various fashion needs and its ability to provide support without the complexity of straps or clasps has made it a popular choice amongst different age groups. Often made from stretchable materials to accommodate various body types, bandeaus can come in a variety of colors and fabrics, catering to a broad range of style preferences.
