The word ‘bustier’ may make you think of Madonna circa 1986, but we assure you that the new generation of bustiers is far more sweet and less jarring than Madge’s “Like a Virgin” gear.  Plus, if you don’t feel up to a bustier, you can achieve a similar effect with a cropped top or bralette. In case you aren’t quite convinced, we pulled together a style gallery  composed of super cool shots of various street style stars.

By the way, we made sure to pick out a few bustiers we think you’ll totally adore.
