Just seen a woman wearing a red boob tube with a grubby white strapped bra. If she can’t find a strapless bra that fits, why buy and wear boop tubes or any other clothing that shows off bra straps. Not a good look.

Why do women think it’s ok to wear clothes like this

lol did laugh at this as I think the same! I just say to myself there’s an awful lot of people who don’t have mirrors in their homes! Thing is unless you’re very big busted, just some nipple covers will do with a boob tube and if u are very big busted then maybe a boob tube isn’t a good choice?

I mean if it's not your style it's not your style. But I can't imagine something so small bothering me enough to write a poll on MN😂. Poor girl, it's a hot day let her be without judgment.

Agreed; horrible. Like not wanting to see a man's underwear. Hide it or wear clothes that do.

I’ve had some beers and I didn’t rtft but are we really back at women attacking women for their clothing choices?

It’s hot. She was hot. Maybe it’s you who needs to stay inside.

I was in a horribly abusive relationship at 18. I’d just had my DD and went straight back to work full time, because he wouldn’t.
My money went straight to his bank account. I had nothing and couldn’t tell anyone,

I owned ONE bra. He wouldn’t give me any of my money to buy more. That ONE bra was a breast feeding one my mum had bought me. I wore that bra with every outfit I owned (which wasn’t many) for about 2 years. Not because I wanted to, not because I thought it looked great, but because I had no choice.

So please, before you get offended by seeing someone’s bra straps….take a moment to think that not everyone has a choice.

Then grow up.

Why do women have to wear bras?
Think about it.
They don’t in many African countries.
Men don’t wear bras.
The real answer is that women’s breasts have been sexualised and are treated as a pleasurable source to men.
The whole concept of encasing your breast in wire and nylon is daft. It’s all for men’s pleasure.
I hate wearing a bra. I really wish my breasts were smaller and that I could go braless. However if I did no doubt some males would take offence and I would be made to feel ashamed.
Men aren’t expected to strap their cock and balls up so as to make them look a better shape are they?

So, quite frankly I don’t give a damn what bra anyone wears.

I think may be you’re over inflating how important people think your opinion is. No one is suing you as no one cares about your opinion

Surely Curro’s opinion is as important as yours?

C152 · Yesterday 19:00

Because she doesn't dress for other people or care what they think? There are loads of questionable things in fashion at the moment. This sounds like a woman wearing the coolest thing she's got on a hot day.

Dcista2 · Yesterday 19:38

Yeah it fine to have your opinion. But it’s not unspoken since u made a post about. If I see a strap or something I don’t like I avert my eyes and move on. No point even making a mention of it.

Women who sneer at other women in the street are uncouth in my opinion

Sueandthegoldfish · Yesterday 19:59

I grew up in the era when my mother would sew little loops on her clothes so that nobody ever saw her bra strap.
And I don’t give a toss who sees mine .

I hate exposed bra straps too. And wearing a strap bra with a strapless top? Not a good look.

I’m sure she doesn’t care what you think. And rightly so.

What’s your opinion on 😮 bare ankles op.

Checking how far back in time we are travelling.

80smonster · Yesterday 20:42

I’ve seen a number of chubby white british men without their tops on today. Matching a bra to a top requires judgement and experience. Getting a t shirt on should be easy enough, but apparently not.

Underwear should be worn under clothes not showed off

I thought we’d moved past telling women how to dress.

AlexStocks · Yesterday 22:24

Next time she should skip the bra. You'll be upset about that too, but at least the girls will be free!

Balloonhearts · Yesterday 22:27

It's like nude colour leggings with short tops. Looks shit on pretty much everyone but if they don't care, why do you?

VivienneDelacroix · Yesterday 23:49

Thank you to the OP...I decided to wear a lovely white strappy dress today with a neon pink bra underneath, straps on show.
Thanks for the inspiration 😘

catlover123456789 · Yesterday 23:57

No, it's not a good look.
It's also none of your business.

Mine were “free range” today, too hot for elastic round my back! Is that OK OP?

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · Today 01:25

Think Boobe tubes should be banned they are hideous. Never seen anyone one yet who looks good in one.
Tits a go go.

ThisFunBlueOP · Today 05:30

I totally agree,I personally are very conscious about wearing strapless tops,I either don't buy them or if I do find I've a strap showing it has to be the same colour as my top,nude or brilliant white,I can't stand the grubby mishmash look either....and wow people are really roasting you for your question,I'll take the knife out and agree 👍
