These days, bras aren't only reserved for their function — they're also a fashion statement and one we love making as the temperature rises. But don't worry, it's not as risqué as it sounds. There are plenty of subtle and tasteful ways to show off your bra this season — all it takes is choosing the right top. Want to reveal a colorful bra? Go with an open-weave sweater. What about a strapless number? An exposed-side top will do the trick. Keep reading for the five pairings that are perfect for all your upcoming Summer events.

Music festival
Replace your top altogether with a bandeau for a desert music festival. It offers comfortable support and is a fun and unexpected twist on the usual crop top. Show it off tastefully with a pinafore dress or a top with drop arm holes, which will allow you to expose your sides while providing coverage in the front and back.

Weekend brunch
For a casual off-duty look, pair an extra soft bra in a bold cobalt hue with an open-knit sleeveless sweater. The bra will peek through the mesh design for a barely there pop of color and add instant cool factor to your ensemble. Plus, the wireless design and wide shoulder straps will ensure you'll stay comfortable through brunch and beyond.

Tropical retreat
An extralight bra is perfect for a Summer getaway for its nonconstricting fit. Opt for a split-back top which will reveal a hint of your bra (and keep you cool) at the slightest breeze.

Date night
There's nothing sexier than a classic black bra worn underneath a lacy white blouse for an evening look. It's flirty and playful while still remaining understated and demure. The seamless design is ultra flattering and makes for an invisible fit along the back and underarms.

Office happy hour
You can still totally rock a sheer blouse at the office — just make sure you have a cami on underneath. A boho-inspired chiffon top is on trend but still professional when worn over a matching lightweight bra top. The built-in bra cups provide gentle support and shape so you still maintain the smooth look of a bra but with the additional coverage.
