OFFICIAL FASHION VERDICT-Spaghetti straps suit NO ONE

46 replies

They look AWFUL. Now I'm all for folk wearing what they want to wear as long as it suits them. But these mean spirited wires that dig into shoulders show greying bra straps...

in the words of Shaggy - ZOIKS

I think people are just getting a bit fed up of being told what they can't wear on here.

cocolepew · 28/05/2010 16:19

People seem to colour co-ordinate their bras to their strappy tops now. I'd be wearing a lot of grey then.

at dexter, cyb has a capsule wardrobe, doncha know, and I'm vair stylish[twirls]

TheProvincialLady · 28/05/2010 16:20

What's wrong with a strapless bra? I don't much like bra straps on show either but spaghetti straps really suit me so ner.

Who designed something that makes the most petite of shoulders look like a prop forward?

Nope, showing bra straps is still icky. I am 25, and when I was 18 it was a faux pas.

And tbh its NOT the bra straps. its the MEANESS of the spaghetti straps. the digging in. All things I hate in my wardrobe have said straps

And YES it is ZOINKS
school girl error

Spaghetti straps really suit me too.

Agree no bra strap should be on display though.

MayorNaze · 28/05/2010 16:29

correction
you have clavicles SINCE YOU FOLLOWED THE WAY OF THE FISH

cocolepew · 28/05/2010 16:32

I have shoulders like a hod carrier, I could probably carry bricks without the hod [flexes muscles].

Big boobs in spaghetti straps or halternecks is wrong.

halters should suit

but dont

MayorNaze · 28/05/2010 16:35

i think no norks is te key to doing spaghetti straps - less weight to hang off them.

same issue means i can NOT do halternecks at all as there is nothing there in the midle

TheProvincialLady · 28/05/2010 17:09

They shouldn't be digging in though should they? That would suggest a poor fit and too heavy a garment hanging from them.

sungirltan · 28/05/2010 17:17

hmmm.

spag straps with no bra fine - spag straps with bra yuck

but wait....those racer back vests that are everywhere which always show bras straps are much scruffier imo.

TrillianAstra · 28/05/2010 17:18

Bollocks. I have great coloured bra straps.
