How much bra/strap is acceptable???

[FAQinglovely]

or is the answer not at all?

I've got on of my spaghetti strap tops on today - and my bra straps are showing it's not a good look is it?

Shoulder I put my (hot and uncomfortable) strapless bra on or change into a short sleeved top???

Now straps on display I can cope with - they pale into insignificance next to the hideous crime of tops that leave the back of the bra on show

Who is Carrie, and why do we want to be like her?

I often have bra straps on show, but always electric blue or hot pink with bows on, I think it looks good actually. But thats just me!

Nah, don't think I want to look like her. But she doesn' put me off showing my bra straps either.

Do not claim to be a style guru, by any means but like others I have a collection of very bright obvious coloured bras for that situation, so it looks like they are meant to show. And what a liberation form younger days when I put off buying lovely tops becasue of the bra concern, obviously got more brazen as I got older...
If more formal go for a strapless wonderbra in nude, but only if deffo cannot be seen. Only ever wear nude coloured knickers. Don't own any white bras as they can be seen under white tops, usually go for nude.
'Transparent' straps - NO, NO, NO, never!!!! Please!

Bra straps showing not generally a good look imo unless the bra straps are gorgeous and enhance your outfit

Spare a thought for those of us in nursing bras with straps as thick as bandages! Even my HotMilk bras in nice colours look stupid. I ordered 2 non nursing bras from the Figleaves sale yesterday in a blue & yellow and a pink & green for precisely this reason. Dd'll have to make do with water !

I don't like bra straps - I wear tops that cover bra straps. I don't like strapless bras either!

crokky - do you never wear strapless dresses then

FAQ - good God no, I'm a tomboy . I don't own a single dress - I can't understand why anyone would want one!! Today I am wearing a pair of short trousers, trainers and a simple tshirty top. I only have simple clothes like this.

crokky - I'll confess it took me nearly 20yrs to buy a dress again once my parents let me "out" of them at about 9yrs old . (and now I can't get enough of them - though do generall spend the day times in trousers still - dresses are for going out.......not that I ever do LOL)
