I didn't know whether to hug him or yell at him. I felt like one of those women that get really pissed at their live-in boyfriends when they don't notice how clean the apartment is. I was practically walking around with two headlights out. You know how it feels to find out a friend has been keeping a secret for weeks? That's where I was at. I'm a girl with boobs, so shouldn't I have realized my co-worker was low-key freeing the nip? A simple white blouse and skinny fit jeans can easily be transformed into a stunning braless outfit. Still, I was feeling inspired and too lazy to do my lingerie laundry. So, bra-less I went. No one at work noticed, but my mother sure did. The thing is, bra-less boobs never look like they do in the movies, bobbing up and down simultaneously. Mine flop and zig-zag -- if one goes up, the other goes down. It's not sexy, it just looks like there are puppies wrestling in my tank.

Tank top and high waist pencil skirt with chunky belt is a great combination and a perfect one to pull off the braless look with.As a way to still feel fashionable and put-together, “I would buy summer dresses that normally have some sort of tightness in the chest area to push things together and keep [my breasts] up. That’s how you get away with not wearing a bra,” she says of how her habit of going braless began. “But I fully expect that in my later years I will become that braless old woman, and I do not care at all.” The braless jumpsuit style is a look sweeping the globe, why not try this simplistic style for yourself? Stiletto heels make for a more edgy look.

Wearing (or not wearing) a bra is a personal choice, of course, though it’s also worth considering what its fundamental purpose is. “Bras can be helpful for women who have breast pain, which is very common, because, if properly fitted, the bra can provide support to the breast and can help reduce discomfort,” says Dr. Deanna J. Attai, MD, FACS, an associate clinical professor in the Department of Surgery at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine and the UCLA Health Burbank Breast Care. She also mentioned that a supportive bra is usually recommended for “at least during the immediate postoperative period” for people who have undergone surgery. Otherwise, Dr. Attai says, “There are no good medical reasons for or against wearing a bra.” The reasons for reevaluating one’s relationship with bras are plentiful, but a common thread appears to be a journey toward body neutrality. Victoria Paris, an influencer based in Los Angeles, also said she started wearing bras less frequently in 2020. “I think I just stopped caring as much about the way I looked because…I wasn’t going into an office, I wasn’t going to school. I wasn’t worried about how people saw me,” she says of her early COVID uniform, which consisted of oversized shirts and tank tops with no bra. Paris, who is known largely for her fashion, travel, and home decorating content and has had partnerships with brands like Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, frequently posts photos of her outfits, many of them braless. Like what?” she replied, in Russian. “Your boobs are everywhere." I lasted all of two minutes at the gym. Why not go braless with a plain tank top with printed jeans and simple ankle boots? Finish this look with handbag and round sunglasses. Personally, I’m of the belief that bras should always be optional no matter your outfit, but if you’re the type of person who prefers some support alongside your braless lifestyle, you can have your cake and eat it too. Cue the best shirts you don’t have to wear a bra with. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs, but they have some things in common: These all provide support, structure, and/or camouflaging while remaining comfortable and stylish. What To Look For In The Best Braless Shirts

After my gym encounter, I wore a low-cut top to a date with a guy I'd been seeing for a few weeks. He didn't pay any more attention to my tatas than usual. Finally, I had to say something.
