How much would you judge seeing a little more than a hint of a female nipple while out and about? Say shopping in tesco, in the queue at the post office, someone dropping their children off at school?

I’d assume it was a mistake and you didn’t know you were revealing that much so would quietly suggest you put a Cardi on in the same way you would let someone know if they had period leakage.. (friend obviously - wouldn’t approach a stranger but would still assume it wasn’t deliberate)

myself2020 · 22/10/2019 08:08

Add on: i slso don’t think men should have their nipples out in tescos etc. same thing really

Icecreamsoda99 · 22/10/2019 08:09

That's the thing, I'd be doing it for me.
I wouldn't want any attention, not positive or negative.
If people were either laughing or wolf whistling I would feel deeply uncomfortable.

I'm afraid you can't control other people's reactions and wearing a top that shows your nipples will get a reaction as it is out of the ordinary in most societies. Even in a club situation people would still look and comment.

JudgeRindersMinder · 22/10/2019 08:09

I could wear that top to Tesco and no one would have an issue with my nipples as they’d be tucked into the waist of my jeans Grin

shiveringskeleton · 22/10/2019 08:10

I'd laugh.

Teenage boys.

That’s all I have to say.

But surely you would have your coat on anyway. It’s nearly November.

Drogosnextwife · 22/10/2019 08:11

I would presume you were a total attention seeker and probably have a laugh. I doubt you are being serious anyway.

HairyDogsOfThigh · 22/10/2019 08:12

It's quite a strange thing to ask, i mean you could wear a bikini on the school run, but people don't. I appreciate you are experimenting with your fashion choices, but surely you have lived in society long enough to know where the lines are drawn. I wouldn't judge you, but I'd probably do a double take and think wtf more from a 'aren't you cold' perspective. In terms of that reaction alone, I'm not sure it would do much for your confidence.

TarMcAdam · 22/10/2019 08:13

Rihanna is wearing that in a music video.

And even in the video, the setting is a dark private room, with a man whom she is heavily flirting, almost smooching, with.

Not sure why it isn't obvious to you that the context of clothing is paramount.

Sirzy · 22/10/2019 08:13

If you don’t want to draw attention to yourself then why would you wear such a revealing outfit in a day to day situation?

There are much better ways to look good that don’t mean flashing your tits which with the best will in the world will draw attention

PrincessPain · 22/10/2019 08:16

100% vetoed!
I did kind of thing it was being made more acceptable. Like everyone has said, different atmosphere and contexts, then maybe it is.
Every day life is off limits for this one for now.

Wouldn't it be a bit chilly?

MrsToothyBitch · 22/10/2019 08:17

I'd find it a bit much as it's not the done thing in daily life. It seems purposely attention seeking for that reason and I'd probably wonder what your next "stunt" would be and probably keep my distance a bit, sorry.

As an aside though, you must have lovely boobs! I'm FF with nipples roughly the size of tunnocks tea cakes. Nobody needs to see that!!!

jillandhersprite · 22/10/2019 08:20

Attention seeker would be my thought - certainly wouldn't think you were a fashionista or some super amazing woman if I came across you doing normal daytime activities in this outfit.
Wear it for your instagram photo shoot or on a night out if you are a young hot celebrity - fairly normal. Strays back into attention seeker if its neither of these. Turn up for drinks with your mates or a dinner party and would worry you are slowly losing it and desperate for attention...

AFistfulofDolores1 · 22/10/2019 08:20

*That's the thing, I'd be doing it for me.
I wouldn't want any attention, not positive or negative. *

Then why do it at all? The first step in all of this is to be entirely, perhaps uncomfortably, honest with yourself.

(Hint: I think it's about control.)

titnomatani · 22/10/2019 08:21

I'd judge and find you cheap and tacky. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lowlandlucky · 22/10/2019 08:21

I would assume the wearer was a sex worker

BransteadGreen · 22/10/2019 08:23

I would think you hadn’t realised it was so see through. Like women you see wearing leggings as trousers and you can see every detail of their knickers from behind (spotty with the label hanging out seen on the school run a while ago). Otherwise I would assume you were just a huge attention seeker.

AlmostChristmas2019 · 22/10/2019 08:23

White t-shirt with a glance of nipple? Sure, seemed to be the standard mum outfit of my mum's generation, paired with some Levis. Don't care.

Glitter see-through top with a full-on display of everything? Okay for a fetish event, not so great everywhere else.

ThursdayLastWeek · 22/10/2019 08:23

I think you’ve got a different demographic here than the people that follow the Hadids and the like TBH

ravenshope · 22/10/2019 08:23

I would be startled and assume you had mental health problems so be concerned for you.
It's great you're building up your body confidence though. I'm trying to do the same. Was thinking more of starting exercise and using a bit of makeup though!

SilverySurfer · 22/10/2019 08:25

Attention seeking exhibitionist would be my reaction on seeing you in the supermarket.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 22/10/2019 08:25

If it’s just for you, then wear it in the house. But please put a cardi on before you pop down the shops.

Vulpine · 22/10/2019 08:25

If you want people staring at your tits, rock on
