Option 1 nude. Looks like flesh through t
Option 2 black (tbshirt is gunmetal ) looks like a black bra.

Work.
(It's not TOO. Sheer)

Nude deffo.....I always wear a nude vest too but I'm old!

bonzo77 · 06/05/2013 21:21

Probably anything but white. I've got a similar tshirt but no nude bra. I've got a pale lilac one which is fine under it.

Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:23

But nude looks like FLESH

Yes .... But it isn't!

SorrelForbes · 06/05/2013 21:24

Nude or maybe pale grey (if you could find one in that colour)

Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:25

Will it look like fake tit?!!
I don't need to give them any more wank back ammo tbh

Nude bras look like flesh under some white/ivory tops too but it looks fine to me.

Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:25

Bank.
You know what men are like. The merest hint.

Def nude, but make sure it's not a t-shirt type bra that you can see the top line of. All mine are visible top ones. -you've reminded me to seek out one that comes high up so invisible lines...

SorrelForbes · 06/05/2013 21:39

The Cleo Juna in nude is good for wearing under sheer tops.

YoniOno · 06/05/2013 21:41

Lovely bra Sorrel but my pore little 30Cs aren't allowed it Sad

A very chic French lady told me she and her Parisian friends ALWAYS wore nude under everything. I have stuck with nude ever since. It goes with everything.

Gawd knows why summer brings out a rash of English women in see through linen skirts and trousers wearing white knickers!

Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:45

I love nude. Looks like a prosthesis but I reach for it every time

Oh nude fo' shure.

Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:47

So nude shows through then? Not black hinted at. Met shirt dark great linen. H and m

T shirt. Not met. Frigging phone

Why are you wearing sheer clothes for work ? Confused

I read somewhere (could be MN) that red bras are the colour to wear under sheer

My best advice though is to wear clothes that are professional and stop worrying about "men and their wank banks"

MrsCampbellBlack · 06/05/2013 21:51

If there is any room for anyone to wonder if you are wearing a bra or not then you jolly well need a cami/vest underneath it.

God, its not even the end of may yet.

JamesJazz · 06/05/2013 21:51

Wear a nude vest top! And then whatever colour bra you fancy.

JamesJazz · 06/05/2013 21:52

Primark do a very serviceable nude spaghetti strap top for around £1.50 or so. No excuses.

Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:53

I didn't realise it was sheer until I tried on just now.
Hmm

OP posts:
Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:54

But nude shows through. That's my point.

OP posts:
Nehru · 06/05/2013 21:54

Well not totally. But as much as with a white shirt

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 06/05/2013 21:56

Hmm, yes.

Strangely, you have already considered "men" and their "wank banks"

Vest top and sheer blouse is the way to go, or save it for a more appropriate setting

When you pick up a blouse in the shop, it is quite "clear" it is sheer. Give over, love.

SorrelForbes · 06/05/2013 21:58

Yes, you can wear a red bra under a white tshirt without it showing through. It's like magic.
