Sheer Summer Tops, what Bra Colours?

32 replies

I assume a black bra is slutty, but a white one generally prints through more.

My DP doesn't want to see me in black.

Does it actually matter?

Nude colour is your friend. I have a fab strapless one from Bravissimo. Invisible under sheer tops.

mummypig3 · 08/08/2015 22:13

I wear nude or peach/pale pink coloured bra's under white or cream tops

burnishedsilver · 08/08/2015 22:24

I wear a vest or cami under sheer tops.

Bunbaker · 08/08/2015 22:27

I tend to wear camisoles under sheer tops as I don't like having my bra on show.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 08/08/2015 23:11

Nude. If nice it cream top.

Black otherwise.
Tell your h to piss off

Bluecheese22 · 08/08/2015 23:14

Nude under anything sheer.

He doesn't like me wearing anything black, deep plunge style, lacy or with chicken fillets.

It's not just him, I just don't want to be too tarty or too frumpy, if that's possible.

Black isn't tarty. Are you part of. Weird religious cult

FuckOffPeppa · 09/08/2015 08:36

tarty?!

Googlers123 · 09/08/2015 08:55

Black bras aren't tarty, honestly

mrsdavidbowie · 09/08/2015 08:57

Good grief. You're wearing a sheer top but don't want to be tarty

mrsdavidbowie · 09/08/2015 09:22

I'm not implying wearing a sheer top is tarty BTW
I wear them.

burnishedsilver · 09/08/2015 10:30

The easiest way to avoid tarty is to wear whatever colour bra you like but don't have it on display. A sheer top without a cami is not an easy look to pull off.

MrsMummyPig · 09/08/2015 10:49

Most of the bras I own are black as I have a lot of dark clothes.
I am the least tarty person ever, in fact I look alot like my namesake.
If daddy pig said he didn't like black bras i would compromise, wouldn't make him wear them but I still would if I wanted too. Grin

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 09/08/2015 12:52

Talking about your h as daddy pig is gross

Changebagsandgladrags · 09/08/2015 13:22

FFS her name is bloody fucking Mummy Pig. So of course he's Daddy Pig.

Snort.

Lj8893 · 09/08/2015 13:31

Your dp sounds like a twat!

If you want to avoid your bra showing through and avoid looking tarty, wear a cami or vest top underneath rather than just a bra!

If it's really hot, I basically want to wear just a very light and airy top, which will inevitably be quite sheer.

Any bra underneath is sweaty enough, but a cami or vest as well? Plus another set of straps to endure?
