non

too sweaty and sticky.
I wear a bra in similar/ toning colour to the top.
Washed out grey straps not acceptable either.

No

Ginge is right.

I can only quote harpsi:

'see through straps are GRIMOLA.
they just dig into the flab forming a sort of shiny gutter effect.'

... and once they get a bit old they go a really unpleasant yellow colour

they are great if you want to look like you have stuck a length of sellotape down each shoulder, really tightly

Yes I was wondering about this the other day.
What's the point of them?
I mean, I can see 'em, right, they just look insubstantial.
Just wear a pretty bra and if yr straps show under yr vest top straps, that's fine (apparently).
Or go strapless.

no no no.

pink/blue/red etc, but not see through..we can still see them!!!

mumfor1standfinaltime · 06/07/2006 08:56

Never liked them myself, think it's sexier to see the bra strap! Just make sure it's a 'nice' bra and not a washed out old one! What's wrong with seeing a bra strap anyway? There are so many lovely bras out there!
How about a strapless bra? Has anyone tried those 'stick on' invisible bras?

I don't give a damn what the Style Police say.

I have a bf-ing bra with clear straps and I'm going to wear it with pride.

LadyTamba · 06/07/2006 10:11

I have bras with clear straps and I wear them

Jasnem · 06/07/2006 10:12

Thank you SD ( I have a bf one, too but was too cowardly to own up)

I've been wearing it with a halter nek top.

LiliLaTigresse · 06/07/2006 10:14

no, sorry but they are ugly
pretty bra strap in any colour much better IMO

charmkin · 06/07/2006 10:22

ok
I'd say that's 60 /40 so far.
New nice colour strap bras it is then

(btw, that was like bait for that fish, wasn't it!)

Lalalalala! I'm not listening!

With normal tops - coloured straps. Breastfeeding and wanting to wear halterneck - clear or whatever f*ckin colour you want.
