How would you style this bra?

[BeardySchnauzer]

Just looking at coco de mer collab with M&S and they have this bra. I think it looks really lovely and I am a fan of the colour - the notes say wear with a blazer or sheer shirt. Not sure… how would you style it? Or would you just wear it under a polo neck

on a side note, it’s a bit creepy how none of the women have nipples? Or are the lace bras not sheer? I’m assuming they’ve airbrushed them out - particularly on the high neck red one

I'm not an underwear as outwear kinda gal, but if I were I think maybe you'd put it under something like this?

No idea! (I thought it would be this bra.) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmx2wqwxvyxlo And still no idea...

You’d need to wear that bra with bodyguards

Under clothes not on view

I'm up for that. May I have Jason Starmer and Dwayne Johnson?😀

It’s the sort of thing you see in nightclubs on young women (without the blazer) If you don’t feel comfortable styling it that way, there are sheer tops and T-shirts at H and M and other High St shops to put over it.

Something like this over it?

Ha! How to ‘style’ a bra! 😃I have heard it all now.

Do ya think I’m sexy? I tell ya, I am.

It is definitely meant as an outerwear for relatively small breast, kind of decorative, nearly jewellery style.
So wear it under a cut out second layer which will actually cover the breast, will compliment the colour and will let it show.

I would style it by wearing it backwards and by rubbing a little rose pink blusher on my nipples.

Then pop on a gorgeous brooch on the strap and wear a skirt in a contrasting pop of colour.

My DD and her friends would wear this type of bra on a night out under something sheer, and likely wear a matching sheer skirt over big knickers. (not granny pants like mine, more like 1940s blonde bombshell). They’re in their 40s.

Their 40’s? Blimey I’m not far off and the thought of it is horrifying 🤣

Couldn't they find her a bra that fitted?

Im not sure , I think I’d try putting my tits in it. Perhaps crocs to accessorise ?

Necrosis?! I've heard it all now.

I know it's their thing, but I couldn't bring myself to wear clothing called 'necrosis'!
🤣

I was thinking the same! Calling a top after a process that kills body tissue is a Goth too far for me...

small boobs but maybe a boob tube then the bra then the blazer on top… too much nipple on show for me otherwise… not sure the shape lends itself to a blazer however

Or just airbrush the nipple!!!

the red high neck bra they have I can see under a blazer but not so much this one. It’s an odd one.

I might be missing something here, but I don't think you can airbrush a nipple in real life.

I have a dress it would be perfect under...high neck with cutaway arms/straps. My current solution is to shove my bra straps as close to my neck as I can and they barely show. But the dress is a sparkly Christmas party thing off Vinted for £8 so I'm not buying a £40 bra to hide under it.
I can't be doing underwear as outerwear and I don't think the high neck thing would actually look that good under a blazer, so a sheer mesh type thing would be the only option I'd go for... (If I wasn't all jiggly and wobbly and concerned the belly rolls would distract from the sexy bra).

No - was a joke because it’s odd they advertise them that way

Yes I have a dress it would be helpful for but could probably get something cheaper!

don’t really have the boobs for it either!!

Underwear as outwear is returning as a trend now.

Think back to the 90s/Y2K thing of sheer or lace tops over a bra, or a bra under a trouser suit, or a basque or corset worn as a top. That kind of thing is coming back.

This bra would also work under any high necked top, or a halterneck.

Also, some underwear is designed for the bedroom rather than daily wear anyway.

OP, I think I'd just wear it under high necked things, maybe a sleeveless polo neck with a slinky pencil skirt, and 'enjoy' it myself. It is very lovely. Sadly I might be too old and intolerant for the pants though which look extremely uncomfortable.
