What colour bra under sheerish linen t?

[Nehru]

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)

Obv you know best. Thanks for your help.

Red? I'm intrigued by this. I have no red bra.
It's so dark grey, I only noticed the sheer when whizz I g past the mirror tidying up.
I think you'd need to look hard but hmm.

Get a nice v neck black camisole to go under it.

So many tops are ridiculously sheer now and I don't always want to wear 2 layers.

I have a couple of red bras, am going to see the magic for myself tomorrow.

Yes. Will try on again in natural light to leroy. Have a jacket anyway..

Leroy? Lol. Survey

Lol. Go and say to postman. "Can you see my bra?!!"

Presume red only works under black or grey

I wore a sleeveless pinky coloured polyester silky top the other day and had a similar dilemma, went inexplicably for a lilac bra and a white cami. Photos on FB show an array of straps poking out, looks totally crap. A visible nude bra would actually have looked more sophisticated

AFAIK a red bra works under a white too but it might work under other colours too.

It just CAN'T!! I'm incredulous

Lol at MNers across the land donning red bras tomorrow

I don't have one. Black nude or wgite

Nude.

I will try and report back tomorrow on Sorrell's magic bra trick.

I would just like to remind people that is was moi that mentioned the red bra thing first

< ahem >

Indeed AF it was

< twangs bra straps >

I think it was you that told me that, sorrel

< shhh > don't tell anyone though

I won't. It'll be our little secret .

Lol thanks. It's an amazing thing.
If I had such a thing I'd try it out. :)

We used to wear red bras under our white shirts at school and you could definitely see it was a red bra.

Stop squabbling you two!

The red/nude bra thing is dependent on your skin. The trick is to find a bra that is as dark or slightly darker than your skin TONE. Many so called nude bras are too pale which is why they show through. For me, with my olive/Asian skin, the best colour is purple, french navy or red. I've found some of the darker old fashioned nude tones are ok but not my thing.

For dark skinned women, black is usually best.

Current fashion has quite a few coral and dark pink bras which are great on a Caucasian skin with a bit of a tan.

I bought a couple of peach/coral silky bus bras and they are fine
