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?

Brilliant thread: Endurance, Daddy Pig and The Slutty Black Straps.

Brings back memories of a recent thread, poss on relationships where a person was talking about weird bra scenarios and not wanting to ruin the mystic by letting people to see the upholstery or somesuch weirdness...

Anyway, ignore me, I'm just marking my place...

"Plus another set of straps to endure?"

What kind of clothes do you wear that straps have to be "endured"? I don't have this problem and I only find a bra sweaty if it is 30 degrees+ outside.

Eek. Please wear whatever undies make you happy and ignore your DH.

Nude bras best - they're not remotely sexy but tbh that shockingly isn't always the first consideration when I pick my undies.

Slutty?

Fine choice of word OP.

You can wear nothing underneath if you find some bras tarty.
Problem solved.

Um, since when has it been horrific to 'endure' straps?! Straps don't need enduring, if they do you're doing something wrong.

Wear a cami. Where do you live if you think a bra will make you sweaty under a sheer top?! For what it's worth, if I'm wearing a top that my bra can be seen through,even to a tiny degree (like a recent slubby t-shirt) I wear something underneath it. I don't boil though.

Flesh coloured tshirt bra - not that obvious under most colours, no lace, no chicken fillets, no cami top and only one set of straps. Sorted.
I'd actually be more inclined to wear a lacy underwired plunge type wonder bra and ditch the husband

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?

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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