Nude bras? What with?

Weird question but actually I'm starting to see more nude bras in my tone and ive never thought of it. I'd always worn either a white bra under shirts or say a black top under more see through tops. So I'm just asking, what do you wear your nude bra with!?

Always white / light tops. I never wear a white bra

dementedpixie · 09/01/2023 22:49

I wear them with everything . Nude doesn't show under white tops so it's better than wearing white ones

dementedpixie · 09/01/2023 22:50

I also don't own a white bra

RampantIvy · 09/01/2023 22:50

Everything. I don't like white bras under white or light coloured clothes. I only wear black bras under dark clothes. I don't want people to see my bra.

MrsSkylerWhite · 09/01/2023 22:51

Everything. Seeing a bra through a shirt doesn’t look nice.

RampantIvy · 09/01/2023 22:51

And I don't own a white bra either.

Pinkieismyname · 09/01/2023 22:52

Same as above, under white or anything light coloured. White bras/camis show up through white shirts whereas once is perfect

Pinkieismyname · 09/01/2023 22:53

** once = nude

Why can't we edit a post 🤔

Rebel2023 · 09/01/2023 22:55

I wear red under white, works really well

aliasname · 09/01/2023 23:01

White bras show up under white tops. Beige is better, or I read somewhere that light pink or orange (not bright) also work.

I wear nude bra/underwear mainly under white as it doesn't show. If you wear a white bra under a white shirt it would show up. Hope I am making sense 🙂

Then I wear with anything as long as you can't see straps if it's a comfortable bra.

Pinko1 · 10/01/2023 06:25

How did I not know this!? The bras I'm seeing are slightly lacey ones from Marks. Are smooth bras the way to go now? It sounds like white is considered dated

I wear nude most of the time ..but definitely under white or anything coloured but sheer...esp in daylight lol

ChristmasCakeAndStilton · 10/01/2023 06:52

I only own nude bras.
I admit a black one would be useful occasionally, but I can't be bothered to buy one to sit in a drawer for most of a year.
I can't see an occasion where white would be required when nude wouldn't do the job.

dickdarstardlymuttley · 10/01/2023 08:29

Try a nude T shirt bra from Marks

BarbaraofSeville · 10/01/2023 09:07

I don't know about white bras being dated, but it's extra laundry, we don't own anything white so never have to do a 'white wash'. Makes life a little easier.

As for bras, they're less visible under lighter colour/material clothing if they're similar in colour to your skin tone, which isn't necessarily 'beige' and I do know that M&S do quite a range of these.

I suppose the larger range of smooth bras is in recognition that they are practical supportive garments, where the primary need is comfort, rather than 'decorative'.

Nude bras under anything light or white. Black under dark colours.

I've got loads of bras (in varying sizes!). White or coloured/patterned bras are usually worn under sweatshirts or jumpers.

ripandhishorse · 10/01/2023 12:52

My entire underwear drawer is nude so pants and bras. It doesn’t show under a white top or say, white or linen trousers.

@Rebel2023 where is your red bra from? Used to have an M&S T Shirt bra but the wire escaped and they don't do them anymore ... the knockers are still going strong though 😁

HCHQ · 10/01/2023 14:22

Knickers!
(although my knockers aren't too bad either!!)

I only wear Elomi! Just because they fit well and I'm a 34K so a lot of places don't do my size
Brastop has good choices too

No so called no bras or white bras in my drawer.

So called nude make my boobs look cardboard. White bras remind me of school.

I temp to go for bold colours. I'm olive skinned and, perhaps surprisingly, red blends in with tops that are a bit sheer. I think the outer colour of the top dilutes the bra colour if that makes sense.
