Why models and influencers don’t wear bras

[Anonymous]

I would need to have surgery in order to go braless. I'm jealous of those who can pull it off.

There is nothing that makes me feel dowdier than the sight of myself without a bra. I'm not overweight but my DDs are nowhere near where they were pre-kids. I am so jealous of anyone who can pull off this look. Set them free!

I’m tired of people societal expectations on women. Men wear shirts with their nipples visible through the material, why can’t women without being sexualized. Look at women’s swimwear, thongs and cheeky cuts are the norm. Men’s swimsuits haven’t changed.

Why do defensive? You started out okay but went a little off the rails and off topic towards the end.

No, she’s right. Womens swimwear has gotten ridiculous.

I’m very small chested and I think it’s wildly uncomfortable to go bra less/. The chafing irritates me and even though they are small they ache at the end of the day. One of the camisoles with built in support is okay but otherwise I need as bra! I hate all these shirts and dresses made to wear without bras. I think the clothing companies are just trying save money by skimping on fabric and tailoring.

Everyone has nipples. Why do yours make you self conscious and why do you care if someone sees an outline?

I have been in Montreal for two weeks and see a lot of itty bitty titties poking through shirts around town. Some big ones too.

I think you are getting at one of the points, though. There seem to be more outfits that are designed to be braless. I was out on the West Coast this week and the most popular look was this form-fitting tank top that clearly was designed to be worn braless. The cut of the shirt is such that the sides and back are largely exposed and you get close, but not to, "sideboob". A bra under that would completely stick out. Apologies for the description, I'm a guy who doesn't follow the terminology. And yes, as a guy I always notice.

As long as all these young people are ok with having their breasts dangling by their belly buttons when they hit 50 or so. Have at it

+1 And all of these women cheering on their daughters with their supposed :healthy body attitudes”- you only feel this way because your daughters are thin with small breasts. A short, curvy girl with big breasts and a bubble butt going braless will elicit a different opinion.

As a Frenchwoman, I beg to differ. No one I know in my native country fails to wear correct underwear in public.

And no, braless is not a trend. You can live in your own echo chamber if you want, as long as you know you're in one! Seems to be a fundamental truth you have to recognize about yourself. Also rather important for politics...

My own echochamber? I'm simply stating that it's currently a trend. You disagree, which I guess puts you in your own echochamber, right?

No, I am pointing out that the world is large and that there are microtrends all the time. When I was little in France, a lot of women and their mother and grandmother were topless on French beaches. Now there's a more conservative trend and fewer women are topless these days. This is an example of a historical trend you probably were not aware of. You need to realize that the trend you are describing is only noticeable to a very tiny subset of the world population.

Point: you don't need to follow trends or overthink them, because there will always be more people who are unaware of trends than there are people following them.

That applies to your so-called "proper underwear" trend as well.

Sexy sells.

Breasts and bras don’t work that way.

Well for some people that is not really possible.

Oh, please. I just spent the past month traveling around France and your statement is laughable. Younger women were braless everywhere we went. Which looks fine on small-breasted women. But they were most definitely not "wearing correct underwear in public."

I guess so. My teenager doesn’t like wearing a bra, and says a lot of girls don’t .

My teenager is small-chested and can get away with wearing stickies and nothing else when she wears sundresses and strappy tops. Lucky girl! Bras make me so hot and sweaty.
