Working in retail, I spend alot of time silently judging people's outfits. One of the things I notice most often is bra straps. Ever since I was old enough to be wearing bras my mum also told me it looks bad to have the straps showing. Now I can't even stand it on a singlet. Match the colours, for god's sake! No one wants to see your hot pink bra straps when you're wearing a white spagehetti strap top. It's not hot, it's gross. Did you get dressed in the dark or something? Go away and don't come back til you know better.
I blame Sex and the City aka 'Carrie Bradshaw' for this fashion disaster. Don't get me wrong, I love the show. But for a show that's meant to be the height of fashion, they've got Carrie running all over New York City with her bra on full display. It annoys me everytime I see it.
Why ruin a perfectly cute pink tank and pearls (the signature for class) with black straps obviously purposely positioned so they're on display? Good work, styling team!
Now, there's nothing I love more than backless tops/dresses. But, there's nothing I hate more than girls who wear them with their bras showing. Don't do it! It looks tacky and takes away from the outfit. I know it means you have to wear a sticky bra, or no bra. And I know that's annoying - trust me, I understand that sometimes going braless isn't an option. But if you don't want to do that, don't buy backless!
Let's all take a look at what I mean. Here's a few girls who clearly never got the memo that bras are underwear, not outerwear.
And here's some that did ...
I'll let you decide what you think looks best.
