Sheer top, no bra.

[PrincessPain]

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?

Oh FGS @PrincessPain Go back to bed and get up again with your brain in gear. Why do you want to flash your nipples in public? Bonkers.

I know the school run example was hypothetical but I imagine if a woman did wear that in the school playground, the staff would have to say something to her about the incredibly inappropriate nature of it around children - not to mention the embarrassment that her own children would feel and the teasing to which they would be subjected.

It would garner a massive amount of attention out and about and comments/laughter/wolf whistling would be highly likely. I would expect some places to ask you to leave if you were exposing your breasts. That said, I did see young women wearing shorts that revealed most of their arses this summer out shopping in the day time - not just high cut, but actual thong style shorts in a couple of cases. I found it a bit eyebrow raising and imagine it would get some unwelcome attention from some blokes. If I’d seen them on the school run, I would be completely horrified though.

That's bedroom wear.

I get the all the 'free the nipple' thing but some clothing would still be risky to wear out, day or night. Its bs but there we are.

@PrincessPain what kind of other context? Glad you see it won't go down too well on the school run in Barnsley.

I can't even understand why women wear black bras under sheer white tops other than to say 'Ooooh look! I've got tits and am wearing a bra!'

slutters tea over keyboard ... boy o boy.

I like the idea of showing a little, but I don't really want to be openly ridiculed because while I'm building in confidence, I dont want it knocked back down.

This top is ALL about attention. Why wear it if you don't want attention?

There are plenty of fashion choices to experiment with, op, to build your confiidence, that don't involve showing nipples in town.

Not rtft

She might not have known. Loads of clothes don't look transparent in shop or home, put them under daylight bingo see through.

Happened to my mate she wore a nice long skirt that went see through in certain lights to work. Nightmare.

I have taught girls to put hand inside and hold to light. I mean how many women really want see through clothes.

Anyway in real life id think it was a bold choice if deliberate but not sure id get too worked up

Yeah whatever.

Read a bit. You would like to wear a see through top for school run.

Uh huh.

I have to ask, do you normally not catch social cues? Do you miss the mark with small talk? Because not comprehending that wearing a see through top in normal day to day occasions is seriously problematic. In a night club where everyone is deliberately provocatively dressed, sure. Out and about in town? No way on earth, and for you to even think that you could pull it off without attention? Your judgment needs some serious examining.

I'd probably find it worse than you being completely topless. Taking clothes off to cool down and getting topless (male or female) doesn't bother me. Someone wearing a sheer top (male or female) seems more like a deliberate choice and I'm not entirely comfortable with it, it seems to have different connotations.

You must live in a strange little bubble OP, to have to ask opinions on this.

Thank goodness you've come to your senses!

😂😂

I don't see it a lot in real life, which is why I asked.
I see it a lot on Instagram, music videos, facebook, catwalks, and there is a "free the nipple" movement in an attempt to make it more acceptable.
I have never worn it out, I don't actually do the school run (though I do shop in tesco and occasionally use the post office), I don't even own a sheer top, it was just something that i had wondered about and the reaction it would get if i chose such an outfit.
Some of the answers have surprised me, not the people saying its wrong, i was somewhat expecting that, which is why i had my reservations about the outfit in general. But questioning my mental health seems a little extreme.

I doubt Rihanna wears this kind of thing to nip down the shops, or in any other situation than a music video...

This >>> What @HypatiaCade said

What the fuck on earth is very wrong with you OP ???? !!!!!

Re find your youth & go to a bloody nightclub or something sporting this look of you must 🤷‍♀️

Why the hell you must think it's ok to go about such daily activities sporting nipples on full show is beyond me 🤦‍♀️

Just wear a nude bra.

I hate seeing nipples - both my own and other people's.
But then I'm a massive prude

Don't be bloody daft. Club if you must I'm sure I've done worse in my youth but school run & shopping, you are nuts & have some respect for your poor DCs

The only need to have your boobs out on show in public is to feed your child in my opinion.

I think the nipple thing you’re getting at is possibly less see through top and more not wearing a bra. I very occasionally don’t wear a bra and my nipples can be seen at times depending on the material of the top or how many layers I’m wearing. I don’t care about nipples in the slightest but I do feel very uncomfortable and put a jumper on if I am around my son’s friends. They are almost teenage boys and would definitely notice. So although it isn’t sexual to me, it would be to them. I am in charge of their safety and what they are exposed to while they are in my home so it would be inappropriate. I have noticed a few men look at my nipples and it does make me want to cover up more. It irritates me but I understand that it still isn’t that common for women to not wear bras and notice it. The reason I’m not wearing a bra is for comfort, not attention. I sometimes can’t stand the feeling of a band around my ribs.

I wish it was more normal to be able to see that a woman has nipples. And I’m not talking about actually seeing the nipples or areola, just a little bump where it’s obviously not smooth. I wouldn’t care about noticing that a man doesn’t have a completely smooth, nipple free chest and it would be nice not to have to consider my nipple bumps when I get dressed

I think a lot of things that happen o instagram and catwalks don’t necessarily translate into normal, everyday life. It’s easy to follow a ‘free the nipple’ campaign online and start to think that everyone thinks that way but a lot of people will never have heard of it (I hadn’t particularly) and even those that might champion it on social media probably don’t walk the walk in a sheer top at Asda.

I don't see it a lot in real life, which is why I asked.

There's your answer. In the real world it's really not seen as acceptable. Your social media world is not real!

You can wear what you like as far as I'm concerned, wherever you are. But a) it is massively attention-seeking to wear something that exposes your breasts in public and b) you will be judged for it

It wouldn't bother me on someone else, but I'd gel uncomfortable (but I'm a baggy teeshirt/jumper person

Sorry, if I saw someone wearing that on the school run I’d assume they were mentally ill.

Bedroom or sex club, knock yourself out.
