clear straps - i can see them you know!

EffiePerine · 04/08/2008 09:05

coloured bras under white tops

bikini tops used as bras = worst fashion crime EVER

I get v.ranty, just because its warm does not mean that your boobs don't need the same support as always, a flimsy triangle halterneck does NOT cut it.

I spent a lot of time muttering 'its Hull not fricking Ibiza' these days...

Quite wide lacey decorated bra staps under spaghetti strap tops.

traceybath · 04/08/2008 09:08

oh dear - i am breaking the wide bra strap crime as am in nursing bras and they all seem to have thick straps.

Brightly coloured bras, especially garish ones in more than one colour.

Highly decorated bras under plain tops - makes your boobs look like you've replaced them with balls of screwed-up newspaper.

BettySpaghetti · 04/08/2008 09:11

I hate seeing badly fitting bras where the strap across the back is really high up (almost below their neck) - offenders are usually large of nork .

Tigerschick · 04/08/2008 09:12

That should be "plain, tight-fitting tops"

EffiePerine · 04/08/2008 09:13

Inadequate support for large norks - get a proper bra FFS

no support for the small of nork: yes, you still need it

The "was white once but now it's grimey-grey after too many mixed washes" bra worn with anything

ZacharyQuack · 04/08/2008 10:06

Too-tight cups, giving multi-boob effect.

Those 'invisible' (ie clear plastic straps) people wear with 'strapless' tops. Vile.

VictorianSqualor · 04/08/2008 10:32

Too tight round the back so you have boobs under your arms.

nappyaddict · 04/08/2008 10:32

oops i wear bright bras - i have pink, green, turquoise, red, purple. black, white and cream gets a bit boring.

cocolepew · 04/08/2008 10:35

Black bra under white top

VictorianSqualor · 04/08/2008 10:37

I wear colourful bras too nappyaddict, as long as they aren't showing it's fine IMO.

Dilberta · 04/08/2008 10:39

any sight of bra straps. Ised to be a faux pas if there was any hint of underwear showing.

nappyaddict · 04/08/2008 10:42

What do people think about bra straps and vest tops?

largeginandtonic · 04/08/2008 10:51

It is an issue if you are large of nork though, all bras seem to have the thick straps and spaghetti strap tops look naff over them.

Limits the wardrobe and is so frustrating.

I hate visible bra straps.

Carnival · 04/08/2008 10:57

Bravissimo do those spaghetti strap tops with built in bras for the nork-laden, but the built in bra element is padded and too warm for a sunny day.

I'd rather see a gorgeous coloured bra sticking out, than a boring old white or black one.

VictorianSqualor · 04/08/2008 10:57

If the bra strap is pretty much the same size as the vest straps, fine, but make sure theyre the same colour, and the vest straps are on top of the bra straps.

VictorianSqualor · 04/08/2008 11:00

Sometimes visible bra straps look ok, I think this looks better with than it would without.

VictorianSqualor · 04/08/2008 11:01

But this, Nah.
