as pictured but i really don't like the top. it has no elasticity to stay up if you have a chest like i do (36DD) , so you have no option but to wear the removable straps.. the straps hook in really obviously and the metal hook shows instead of being hidden. If you try wearing it as a bandeau like pictured, the little loops where the optional straps attach show like little tabs..so either way the top looks really cheap/poorly made in my opinion because the little details show..but its fine for wearing in my backyard.
