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

rml_16

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?

I could never get away without a bra, but some women can. It depends on size and perkiness.

i'm thinking that if you boyfriend had a fit...you looked a little too sexy. another thing is nipples, for some reason, nipples draw alot of attention more so than boobs so if your nips where sticking out there which i'm sure they were next to silk, that could have been his issue. but it is your life and you can do what you want.

Yeah, a silk shirt, I would not have gone w/o a bra. I forgot about material. That plays a huge roll too. If it's a thin material and/or white...I'll wear a bra.

Unless it's one of my cotton white halters that have a shelf bra. Then I won't.

And I always wear a bra with a looser tanktop or shirt. The only time I'll wear a loose shirt that doesn't have a shelf bra in it without my own bra is if it's a huge sweatshirt or several layers of shirts.

do it honey. But your high beams might turn on if its cold. Look into the pastey things. theyre a nude color, strapless, but cover lightly enough that it would conceal but not be noticable.

if you have no boobs its fine, but if your tittays are larger, never.

Doesn't matter what we think. And apparently it doesn't matter what you think, either, if you're going to let your boyfriend decide what you can and can't wear in public.

While I agree that no one can tell you what to do with your body, I have to look at it from a different perspective. I used to have no qualms about running to the store with just a t-shirt on and nothing underneath, but my ex-boyfriend hated for me to do that. He politely asked me to always make certain I am wearing a bra in public. Then, he smoothed it over by taking me bra shopping.

The point is that if you care about this guy at all, you have to stop and think about his feelings. Respect his wishes. I liked the one suggestion of wearing a bikini top underneath.

It depends on the top, the situation and the boobs in question. If they're flopping around all over the place and you're in danger of putting out someone's eye... probably not. If they're staying put and you're not too niptastic... go for it.

Julienetan

yes, unless you are swimming or your boobs are very small

AZKristi

Your boyfriend sounds like a jealous, controlling *kitten*. No one has the right to "allow you" out of a car to do what you want. If you are comfortable, go for it.

sailorsiren13

If you can do that and get away with it go for it!!! mine are too big and sporting jewelry so i always factor that in when i shop.:blushing:

Tit tape or a white boob top underneath would make you a little more modest

sandylion

I'm a member of the itty bitty titty committee and wear a bra most of the time to give the appearance of actually having breasts. I go braless all the time. The point of a bra is to give you support and make you look good, that's all! Go for it girl, the bf needs to take a chill pill

SPNLuver83

As long as it's not see-through and your tits don't hang down to your belly I don't see the problem. Sometimes it's just too dang hot for a bra, and like you said there are shirts that make it impossible.

springseternal

I'm more concerned that he would not "let" you out of the truck.

This.

carriem73

not with my 36DD's it's not! I barely even walk around the house without one! :blushing:

but as long as you can't see through, do whatever you are comfortable with!

BeeElMarvin

as long as they remain above your belly button

ZombieChaser

I do it all the time (but not at work...it's a 90% male workforce...). My bf doesn't have a problem with it.

Maybe you and yours need to have a sit down and he can help you understand why he has a hangup with it All the very best to you and your ladies!

jenj1313

Judging by your profile pic, I'd say you're fine. Tell your boyfriend to get a grip :-) literally and figuratively. Anyone who wouldn't "let" me out of a vehicle wouldn't be on my nice list for very long.

theresmynapkin

I agree with what everyone else pretty much said. It depends on your comfort level and size. I'm a 34DD, so there's no way these girls go unsupported :-/, however if you have the physique where you can go braless without fear of bouncing and runaway boobs then by all means! I know I'm usually jealous of girls with smaller boobs who can go braless in cute tops. Try taking a picture maybe and judge it as if it were someone else. If your first thought is "that person really needs to put a bra on" then put one on. If it looks good, rock it!

When out keep reminding the boy that you're his and you being braless isn't for anyone else's benefit but your own

umachanxo

It depends what you're comfortable with.

Ayirela

If you're comfortable go with it. They have these things you can stick over your nipples that shield them like a bra and I think they come in nudes. I find wearing any type of white top a nude bra always works best, but I can't go bra-less but I wish I could. I'm hoping when the weight goes some of the boobs go if not then boob job it is!

You know yourself and you know if you look good or if you think it looks trashy. So just go by what makes you most comfortable and tell your boyfriend to stop being so controlling that it is your body and if you wanted to walk naked in the busiest city mid day then you would.

molly_grue

Ah whatever, if you've got it and you're comfortable with it flaunt it.
I wouldn't feel comfortable without a bra but I've breastfed two kids and things just ain't the way they used to be
The other day I saw a woman with very large breasts wearing a peach shirt and no bra and I could clearly see her entire areola.

MissTattoo

It was a white tank. Maybe he could see through it out in the daylight?

I'm a 38DDD and I can only wear my exercise tops braless because they have a built in bra that is shockingly supportive.

paint_it_black

If you're comfortable go for it, but remember going braless often will only speed up the sagging process :-(

This is why half the time, I wear bras to bed! LOL My husband hates it! ROFL!

Steph4454

I think that it is fine if you are smaller and can pull off that type of thing. I wear a bra...like 24/7 lol. I'd love to see the day where I could wear a cute tank without one, but after 3 kids, IDK if that will ever happen. I don't like how your boyfriend reacted, no one can NOT let you get out of a vehicle, thats really ****ty!

It would have to be! I wear sports bras, and if I'm jumping around a lot, I wear one a little bit too small so it's a bit tighter, and I'm barely a 32C. LOL

RhonndaJ

If a bra is not needed for support I can think of no reason why you shouldn't go without so long as the clothes you do wear are appropriate for where you're going. I also don't have a problem with a little nipple showing through the material. I just don't get why people are so freaked out by such things.
