Sorry, I don't know how to post a pic. I have this top

www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1053257001.html

and looking to possibly wear it on a date this week with black wide leg pants. I'm in my 50s and although it's not a first date there's still a risk of scaring the guy away, so I don't think I can carry off the bold black underwear look as the model does.

Going braless isn't an option (because 50...) ... bras with any kind of pattern are visible and distracting/clashing with the pattern on the top. I tried it with a plain nude t shirt bra hoping it would be 'invisible' but it just looks like a boring nude bra underneath.

Any thoughts on how I can style this out and up?

I'd suggest a black or nude tank top, there's many with built in support, or a bodysuit style top underneath

Love the top btw!

Black cropped top underneath? Personally l would avoid so called nude, because it looks as if you are trying to hide something and pretend it's not there. Plus on me it always looks like l am wearing cardboard.

I'd go black or a tonal neon crop top, something meant to be seen rather than trying to hide it.

Nude cami, with or without a bra under. Try to avoid multiple straps.

black camisole or vest. Have a great date!

I’d go coloured vest top, either to tone or contrast.

Great feedback thanks! Love the idea of the bright top underneath, don't think I have one but will lookout for one for another time. Secret support cami probably easier for me to find this week!
