bra-less. Shall I or shan't I? Do you?

So. I have this beautiful silky top from zara, with a beautiful asymetric neckline where you can see a bit of shoulder. Looks fine with strapless bra... but looks sexier without a bra at all.

So the thing is, do I go braless and then possibly regret it/feel a bit 'saggy'. Or, just go with bra?

I also have a basque that looks great with it but it is a bit tight uncomfortable.

General opinions please!?

:)

Don't wear a bra - give them a treat! xx

Have you ever had a body part in a plaster cast? Cast = muscle weakness and wastage. Bra = cast
Let them out and see the muscles start to work - it takes time
As for men looking - let them look, it’s their problem, if they are friends call them out on it.

OP, l go braless with some summer dresses, but hardly ever in the winter, except maybe for a night out.

You mention you have a basque. How often gave you worn it? Basques are like shoes, you have to break them in. Once they have moulded to your shape, assuming you have the right size, a goid quality one will fit like a glove and are comfy.

This thread is so depressing that many posters have to wear a bra so you don’t attract the wrong attention - I too feel this way but thought it was me being paranoid :(
I hate wearing bras, find them the most torturous things invented but equally can’t stand letches!

This.

I could quite comfortably go braless, and do at home all the time, but I absolutely do not want to have to deal with the feeling of eyes on me when I'm out and about.

And it gives me the RAGE to say that, because I would love to not give a shit. But I do.

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT

This thread is ten years old, I think the OP has probably decided whether to go bra less or not by now.

Wow, you're right! I'm normally much better at spotting these things.

Most of us have still got boobs, though, and S&B isn't exactly the board for totally-revolutionary-never-had-this-discussion-before conversations Wink

@happiestblonde –you said to 'give it a few years' - did your prediction on this thread come true?

So, what were you searching for that brought up this thread?

I'm 32 c and go braless a lot in summer - would be more concerned with nipples in colder weather though!
