Black bra under white silk top?

[SwearySwearyQuiteContrary]

Is it sexy and cool (as the mags would have me believe) or "obvious and trashy" (as opined by the ladies on ask yahoo)? Have no idea whether it is still an "absolutely not!" in the real world.

[noddyholder]

I like it if done in a certain style

thats barely a top, tbf

[DressingGownFrown]

I do it. I'm slim, and 21 though if that helps...

I also believe that black is better than any other colour showing through. It either has to be nude (i.e invisible) or black and plain, no lace etc, otherwise it does look accidental 'got dressed in the dark' or 'rough'. Also I wear it with a loose chiffon shit buttoned to the top and the rest of 'my look' toned down.

[DressingGownFrown]

Also, white is not 'invisible' and that annoys me. Everyone can see it. It looks bad.

[DressingGownFrown]

Ok, I'll stop after this one,
but I have a small chest which 'helps', I think it makes the 'look' less sexualised perhaps and the shirt/bra isn't straining at all.

[FreakinScaryCaaw]

No, it looks common, no matter what colour the lip is.

[GobblersKnob]

Meh, I do it, I like it, I sure ain't under 20.

I also wear vests with a huge cut away arm hole that show off a whole lot of bra, or tops with low loose scoops that reveal the top of a bra, it's not tit, so don't see what the problem is, people can see your bra? Shock horror I am wearing a bra.

Actually don't see the problem if you can see tits either, but I have very irritable nipples they would hate chaffing against a top

[FreakinScaryCaaw]

DressingGown shit is never a good look

[noddyholder]

Common :)

I do personally think a bit of lived in eyeliner a la Chrissie IS minimal make up but each to their own.

Any sheer summer top is going to expose your bra straps, so I like to show that I am properly boobed-up and supported.

I typically like to wear a nice clean white bra, and I ensure the band is horizontal and my straps are vertical, with no twists. I don't want people to speculate that I am in the wrong size or that I didn't take care to fasten it properly!

I like to feel confident that I am firmly presented, with no risk of my boobs slipping out or mystraps slipping off. A visible back band and straps are then of no consequence.

[Seriouslyffs]

It's skanky.
And I'm not averse to a bit of bra strap showing- I rarely wear white bras as the straps go grey but wear lacy ones with colourful straps.

[coffeenut]

I've seen some women pull it off. Skinny, gorgeous women who are otherwise dressed very stylishly.

It's like anything really.

[Eastpoint]

Although the woman in the black leggings & shirt looks good I don't think she'd look good dressed like that going round Sainsbury's with a couple of toddlers or in an office. It looks very much like a going out for a drink in a scruffy bar in Mallorca where there aren't any flashing lights or tourists. Hard look to carry off in the UK.

[50ShadesOfSummer]

Night out, Yes. Work, No.

(I have been known to do this. Also black bra under black lacy top as well.)

[SwearySwearyQuiteContrary]

I had no idea it would cause this much controversy! I chickened out and went for a nude coloured bra.
