It’s natural to assume that this barely-there trend was created only for supermodel bodies; however, Karanam says that the beauty of the pin top is its versatility when it comes to layering. “You can team it with a cool camisole top, layer it over jumpsuits, or pair it with an oversized shirt. This way, you’ll have a modest and yet statement-making look,” she explains. When piecing your outfit together, choose a bright-hued pin top and wear this over a figure-hugging layer in a contrasting colour — colour-blocking is a sure-fire way to elevate your ensemble. Karanam also suggests wearing a pin top over a saree to create a cool Indo-Western, contemporary drape style. 

If you do choose to dare and bare, secure your top with plenty of dressing tape. While light, flowing fabrics look more effortless, knit or thicker fabrics could offer more structure and coverage. Paired with high-waist skirts or jeans, the pin top can be quite wearable for most casual ‘dos.
