Showing bra straps ok?

When you’re wearing a skinny-strap sundress or cami, do you always wear a strapless bra? Or is it OK to just wear a regular bra and let the straps show?
This is assuming you’d wear a bra with those styles (which I always would)
Thanks!

In the summer I don't wear a bra under my clothes,I actually prefer to wear a bikini top rather than a sun dress or cami.Pasties over your nipples can work too.

Usually I don't wear a bra unless the dress needs it. If I do, my take is pretty straps in a coordinating colour or no straps. I think the plastic straps look terrible.

@Rpfun78 It depends very much on bust size. I'm A-sized and I really need a bra only to insert skin-friendly nipple covers when I'm on a business trip 😏
My sister is bigger and she says a bra comes in really really handy.

@helenS I like smaller breast. Dated one gal who was DD held on the both of them during cow girl. Too much movement. I remember her commenting kind of like the fact that I didn’t immediately want to titty fucker, but after she made that suggestion.

@Rpfun78 Women come in so many shapes, there's something for every man.
Glad you like small-breasted girls, by the way! 🌷

I've seen women wearing the "invisible" straps on their bras...they are made of clear vinyl or plastic. If you must, those are acceptable. However, I used to use the paste on nipple covers and no bra at all.

@4meAndyou haha my boobs are not suited for no bra😊
Focusonme · 26-30, F
Just take it off

I don't care either way - if it was a posh do I was going to I'd probably think about strapless bra but normally I'd let my straps show - or just go braless. I'm not a bra lover anyways. When I'm home I never wear one.
OliRos · 18-21, F
I am small enough not to need to wear a bra, so the straps are not a concern for me. But I do think bra straps can spoil the look sometimes.

I don't like showing bra straps, it does not suit a lady. Plus they dig into my shoulders too deep. So I avoid wearing sun dresses but stay clothed.
Wearing a one pice swimsuit underneath a sun dress is what I do prefer.
DianneV · F
@BiggerThanNecessary It's handy if you get a chance for a dip

I personally don't like bra straps showing, it should be strapless one.
Caution with those clear plastic straps unless you buy a very good make of bra don't do it they can burn right into your skin if you are out in hot weather

As a man, I wont be wearing either. But as an observer, I prefer not seeing bra straps. It doesn't matter if clear or not. I think the light reflection off the clear straps only serve to highlight a bra is being worn. Of the alternatives, no bra or strapless, I think it depends on the woman's comfort level. Smaller chested might be more comfortable without any bra. Physically. But how a woman feels about herself, prudish or not, should be what is acceptable.

@DianneV I'm ignorant in this regard. But is it due to a stretchy type material? I'm trying to understand why you are squashed down and the effects.
DianneV · F
@SW-User if the strapless bra is just a band around you, they can’t give enough support to the cups to hold your breasts up. So most bra makers design it, so it’s just really tight and squashed your boobs down like a sports bra. For a lot of girls just stopping the bounce is all they want.
SW-User
@DianneV I do know how a sports bra flattens. So now I understand why a bandeau would not be your choice. I've never been a fan of sports bras. But I do know they serve a purpose. One I would think most woman wouldn't want replicated when dressed in summer casual. Just my guess. I know as an observer, I'd rather see a woman's shape instead of her shape being flattened.
WildWings · 61-69, M
It's okay to wear visible bra straps.
Strict4u · 56-60, M
@DianneV good girl keep those bra straps covered up
@DianneV Moms are not always right! For some events going braless is required. She no doubt said that panty lines were lower class. But on some occasions they are useful -- guys like them and they prove you are not going commando!
SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M
@DianneV yes it seems the women's movement has made it ok for bra straps to be completely visible in the last 10-20 years, I'm not complaining, mind you, lol; if you were brought up that way i totally get it
coolashton · 26-30, M
I think going with bra straps or not is more of a fashion thing and should depend on what occasion or event you are wearing. If it's casual I guess who cares what others think.... but I guess for a formal event maybe its better not to show.. .. depending on overall clothing i may or may not find bra strap appealing on woman :)
As a guy I guess my thoughts may not mean much though .
superlexi · 18-21, F
@coolashton I kinda agree with him.. Most of the times I don't mind showing straps. If I was flat chested I would mostly go braless.
OliRos · 18-21, F
@superlexi I am, I do.
FireFox · 26-30, F
I wear strapless and when I can get away with it no bra
lisamary · 31-35, F
@FireFox I do as well I hate wearing a bra
jennyCook · 22-25, F
I think it depends on the top you are wearing but it's except able
Royrogers · 61-69, M
I think some bra straps showing is sexy
DianneV · F
@Royrogers I have a bra with ruffley lace trim on the straps, and make a point of wearing it so the straps will show, but that’s a fashion choice not sloppiness LOL
SW-User
It's kinda trashy if you ask me.

@SW-User 😲
richa69love · 36-40, F
Absolutely fine
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
My first reaction is that if you have the bra straps easily visible it means you just don't care that much how you look. Kind of like letting your underwear stick up over your waist band.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
I don't like it. I stay away from styles like that. But what I need to do, is get a "sticky bra" I guess.
I don't like the clear plastic straps either.
DianneV · F
Even though the plastic straps are clear and you’re not supposed to see them, they are always visible and you just think “oh she’s wearing clear plastic straps” so it’s not a bad idea but it just doesn’t work LOL. Personally, I always wear a strapless bra and situations like that, But it’s always a challenge finding a good strapless bra that doesn’t squash my boobs flat@iamnikki
Annie1899 · 36-40, F
For me, I'm not comfortable showing.
DianneV · F
I call it good taste @Annie1899
Annie1899 · 36-40, F
@DianneV I stand corrected. lol Good taste. Modesty. Not putting on a show.
Royrogers · 61-69, M
@Annie1899 not that’s a problem I worry about a lot, but I agree with the idea of modesty and ladylike dressing
I usually do strapless but some times no bra depends on how thin the sundress is. Sometimes I will do bikini top too
bert199 · 51-55, M
I think it’s OK to show. I think it’s kind of sexy. I don’t mind braless either. I think it’s getting much more popular now anyways.
CountryLez22 · 22-25, F
I guess it depends on your comfort level. i never really cared that much.
DianneV · F
@CountryLez22 I posted that question more out of wishful thinking!! I am totally flat chested, and actually only have a couple of training bras and hardly ever wear them. I really wish I had to make fashion choices like that… maybe someday!
Annie1899 · 36-40, F
@DianneV I would totally trade with you. lol
JamesH · 61-69, M
Interesting to read the responses. I always love hearing the variety of what people think about something
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
I like to see bra straps especially when there is contrast in color between the bra and the dress
Djguinness89 · 31-35, M
Pm id love to chat more about some of your groups
PinkRose23 · 22-25, F
Whichever is comfortable for you
Dshhh · M
to the sophisticated flirter, bra strap can be useful. letting it be seen is a suggestion, letting it fall losse is another
letting it fall loose, and looking over your shoulder at the guy as it does? thats a signal
but there are strapless bras, if you look
KA9ha · 31-35, M
wonderful philosophical statement...
statement ::: one woman is made for every man"""
Where the one for me?????????????????????????????
Ive been hunting around the eastern part of asia,,,yet to come across one who would come to be my mate and shifting to live together,,,,,,
Serendipitymaybe · 51-55, M
Go braless.
oldercanuck1 · 70-79, M
Why wear a bra at all ,,, you are wearing a sun dress because it is hot and you want to be cool so go natural under the dress ,,,
DianneV · F
@oldercanuck1 Its OK, I don’t expect intelligent answers from men
oldercanuck1 · 70-79, M
@DianneV What can i say ,, just another no mind ,, sorry to have bothered you ,,,
Teslin · M
I would think that is a personal preference. If you are comfortable showing them, then go ahead. Just my opinion.
Amylynne · 26-30, F
i have some built for this..
no straps..
but if it is a cute lil brah. letting them show is fine
DianneV · F
@Amylynne yes nowadays, so many formal dresses have bra cups built in. It’s like design crossover from bridal gowns!
Amylynne · 26-30, F
@DianneV yeppers and it is a VERY GOOD inovation
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Thinking it over -- generally tacky UNLESS it's done it a way that makes it obvious it's a fashion statement of some kind.
Depends on the look you're going for that day, some dresses are more appropriate with the bra strap hidden, other's aren't

[image=https:pooling ! Asmae said I was trashy]

It happens 🤷🏻‍♀️
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@TexChik I'd wear a racerback with those tank tops. Or you can buy a little clip thing that can turn any bra into a racerback
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@TexChik haha i am trashy today too
djjohnson · 41-45, M
I've never seen anything wrong with it. It just depends on your style and if showing that bothers you.

Depends on if you are sensitive on they showing, or not! Don’t most ladies wear bras?
lisamary · 31-35, F
go without the bra
DianneV · F
@lisamary yes, sometimes, but not the right choice for every woman
lisamary · 31-35, F
@DianneV I understand
BiggerThanNecessary · 31-35, F
@lisamary Not every woman can take that choice. I would attract by far too much unwanted and avoidable attention.
PinkRose23 · 22-25, F
Wear whats comfortable but usually I go with a strapless
Torpedocat99 · 46-50, MVIP
I know you prefer women generally, but I’d love to chat if you’d like😊
