Do you think it's okay to not wear a bra in public?

I have this silk, white halter top that's really cute--problem is you can't even wear a strapless bra because it still shows. So today I said eff it and wore it anyway without a bra. I didn't notice any funny looks or anything, but when my boyfriend picked me up this afternoon to go and run errands he had a bit of a ****-fit. He wouldn't let me get out of the truck when we stopped places.

Is this really so terrible? It's not like the top was see-through. Personally, I wouldn't care if it was someone else--and I've seen plenty of women who wear tank-tops and halters in the summer without one. What do you think? Is going bra-less acceptable or taboo?

    Its your body and people shouldn't be telling you what to do with it. Wear anything you feel comfortable in!

    It really depends on your size. For me, it's a MASSIVE no no!! :laugh:

    I'm a (UK) 34H, so my puppies are quite big, they need all the support they can get and it would just be soooo wrong for me to go without a bra! But looking at your profile picture, not being rude, but you look a little smaller :blushing: so in your case, it's probably OK!

    wel sometimes your nipples will point through the material... i think they sell stickers you place over the nipples...so they stay invisible.
    personally i'm uncomfortable around someone when i can see too much details... but i'm very sensitive to those things.
    maybe your partner saved you from one of those 'what was i thinking' moments?
    it's up to you anyways.

    Agreed.

    But remember what is opaque in your mirror is often see thru in bright daylight.

    As long as they aren't so big that they sway all over your shirt when you move. If they stay in one place, you're fine. As far as them "poking through," if it isn't cold out and you're not going to a family dinner.. it shouldn't matter. Now if everything is visible shapewise and leaves nothing to the imagination - then no. No free shows.

    It's hard to say...I only do it with a couple of shirts but they have pretty decent built in bras (like actual wire and padded type cups). I've been known to wear a dress that doesn't look see through in the house but is outside in the light. Thank God my mom caught it. Now anything I wear I test out in the sun before I just walk out of the house lol.

    I can go braless in my exercise tank because it has a built in bra. But, it is too thin and my nipples will show through it. I would like to know where these stickers can be purchased.

    By the way...I am a D.

    Boyfriend sounds a bit controlling. My ex would have been the same. It depends on your perspective, I think. For me, whatever. I go braless all the time. I will say though, I've noticed that I get 'checked out' by guys a lot more when I'm not wearing a bra. Boyfriend is probably concerned about this!
