At Ivy Reina, our beaded tops are designed to be more than just clothing—they’re wearable art. Each piece is handcrafted to drape beautifully on your body, elevate your outfit, and make you feel like the main character wherever you go.

But before you step out and turn heads, let’s talk about how to wear your beaded top the right way—for both comfort and confidence.

💎 First Things First: This Is an Accessory

Our beaded tops are designed to be worn as an accessory layer, not as a standalone, fully covering garment.

Because of their open, draped design, we highly recommend wearing your top over one of the following:

  • A bralette or bra

  • A bikini or swimsuit top

  • Pasties or nipple covers

  • A fitted top or bodysuit

This helps ensure coverage, keeps your look polished, and, most importantly, prevents any unexpected slips.

Think of your beaded top as the jewelry of your outfit… just on a larger, more iconic scale.

👑 Step-by-Step: How to Put It On

1. Start with Your Base Layer

Put on your preferred underlayer first (bra, swimsuit, pasties, etc.). This gives you a secure foundation before adding your beaded top.

2. Position the Cups

Hold your beaded top up to your chest and align the cups where you want them to sit.

Let the chains drape naturally over your shoulders and around your back. Don’t overthink it; the design is meant to flow.

3. Secure the Straps

Your top features are adjustable chain straps with lobster clasps, giving you multiple ways to style:

  • Classic Halter: Cross straps behind your neck and clasp for a lifted look

  • Back Loop: Wrap straps around your back and connect for an open-back vibe

  • Criss-Cross: Cross straps in the back for extra support and a statement look

  • Snatched Fit: Clip further down the chain or double-loop for a tighter hold

✨ Pro tip: Play around with it, there’s no “one way” to wear it.

4. Adjust for the Perfect Fit

Gently slide the cups and chains until everything feels secure and centered.

Your top should feel:

  • Supported

  • Even on both sides

  • Comfortable (not pulling or shifting too much)

Remember: these pieces are structured with wire and chain; they're not stretchy, so adjust with care.

💖 Styling Tips from Ivy Reina

  • Layer over a sheer or mesh top for a dreamy, editorial look

  • Pair with a swimsuit for beach, pool, or vacation content

  • Dress it up with a blazer or jacket for a high-fashion moment

  • Style with high-waisted bottoms to balance the drape

⚠️ A Quick Note on Coverage

Because every body is different, coverage will vary based on:

  • Bust size

  • Cup placement

  • Styling choice

For this reason, we always recommend pairing your beaded top with a base layer to ensure you feel secure, confident, and fully covered wherever you wear it.
