Are Bra Straps Showing 'In Syle' Now?

13 years ago

I swear, everywhere I look there are women in tank tops..with their bra straps showing! Do they think it's attractive or is it just a way to show off what color bra they're wearing!

Yep, it be the style & has been for a while. (Altho' I am about as far from a fashionista as one gets, so don't go showin' your straps based on my observation. LOL)

I need a bra with straps that don't slip off my shoulders.

I was so sick of my bra straps sliding off my shoulders & not finding a bra that didn't. I finally decided how I was going to fix it. I bought elastic (I think it was 5/16"). I used about a 10 1/2" piece (it will depend on the width of your back from strap to strap) make it slightly shorter so that it lays smooth across your back.. Slip one end of the elastic through the O ring where the upper part of the strap attaches to the adjustable part of your strap, sew in place. Then attach the other end to the other O ring on the opposite strap. Presto! You will no longer have sliding straps. I am in the process of doing this to all my bras, and have not had a slipping strap since. It is easy to put on as you slip the bra over your head first & then put your arms in the straps. I wish I had thought of this years ago. Cost, about 25 cents!

I am so glad this thread came back up because I just recently got a new bra that is with out doubt the most comfy easy to put on bra I have ever had. I had bought the same bra in the back hook style and liked it but then they came out with the same great bra in a front hook style, I got it immediately and have been wearing it often, It is great, does not come unhooked has soft padded shoulder straps and is light and comfy, it has not ridden up on me once which is a miracle! This is the link to it. I got it on sale, the sale price was $19.99 and I had a 40% off coupon so got it very cheap now I wish I had got more since it is no longer on sale. If you choose to get one be sure you do a google search for their coupon codes there are tons of them available. Also they have a bra club if you buy 5 bras from them over a year or something you will get a free bra or rather a coupon good for the purchase of one. Wirefree front-hook seamless leisure bra by Comfort ChoiceÃ¯Â¿Â½ Here are some codes to help you save money. One is a mother's day special so it ends tomorrow!! 50% off your highest priced item WW50MOM (5-9 expires) 40% off your highest priced item WW52319 (6-7) 30% off your highest priced item WW51097 (6-7) for me the size runs true on this bra.

bra strap holder thingie

I sent for some but they didn't work out What I did was take a piece of elastic You can figure out how long to cut it for your body I safety pinned it to each side of the bra strap in back about 5 inches up from the back clousures. The only problem is you have to put the bra on closed and over your head. It takes getting used to. they are now selling some kind of plastic thing on tv maybe tht will work for you try my method if it works you can sew he elastic to the back straps instead of pinning it.

Bra Shopping Craziness

I have heavy breasts and have struggled with bra shopping for years (anywhere from 34-36 DD-E). My issues were always neck and shoulder discomfort. I was introduced to the Fit Fully Yours line after a custom fitting at a specialty lingerie boutique that I had to drive 2 hours to get to (I live in the boonies). I was a bit skeptical because I'd never even heard tell of Fit Fully Yours before, and they're not cheap, but I bought one that day. Then I went back a few months later and bought another. Turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. I haven't worn another brand since, but I have no personal experience with their sports bra. (I wear the Maxine Moulded which says it is 'engineered for women with heavy breasts'... maybe that's mainly just marketing hoopla... but it's worked for me!)

Between that, and ripped jeans, my eyes hurt, when walking in a mall now-a days.

I'm out of style. :(
I notice a lot of young gals though have the cami's with the thin straps over bras. Looks cute with the right clothes, looks crappy with the wrong ones! lol

I think like Kat. It was a style for a bit but now it's become "acceptable". Not something I care for. The peek a boo lingerie look can look cute on younger ones who take time to coordinate. Downright ugly when being worn by out of shape women with gray bra straps. Trash.

Now panties,shorts and cracks showing are not cute on anyone past toddlerhood.

Back in the day when the see through look was in most of us were modest enough to wear pretty bras that showed through.So bras showing is not something new.

I remember when Helen Gurley Brown came out with her book Sex and the Single Girl she advocated wearing pretty lace trims slips and adjusting your skirt when you sat down so a bit would intentionally peek out. I must of driven a lot of male teachers in school crazy with that little gambit. LOL

When we gals would go on long motorcycle rides we would wear nice colored bras under our clothes so we could take off our shirts if it got hot just like the guys. I cringe when i think about nothing but skin between me and the road now but back then we were young and stupid. LOL

Well, at least they are wearing bras!

I think strapless bras just never really "took" with the younger generation. (I personally never liked them so I can understand). As with a lot of summer clothes, if you don't wear a strapless bra, your straps are going to show. I know they make the invisible strap, and those things that pull your straps together in the back, but I think for everyday, it's just not worth worrying about for them.

Doesn't really bother me.

I think it looks good if you're young, thin, and not large busted.

Well, it seems all the rage at some big-box stores! I shall not slander any business's good name, but I'm sorry--the attached link just shows this too well!
(Pls don't check out any of the other pages if it's close to breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, church time, sleeping time...)

It was hard for me to get used to this trend at first, but now it doesn't bother me much.

My personal style choice is nerdy, so showing bra straps is not for me.

It'll always look tacky to me whether it's in style or not.

Even sports bra's showing is in style. I admit......I put on a gray sports bra that is kinda high with an orange tank top that has a V-neck....the gray showed.....and I went running. :0)

I agree with wildchild that a prety bra with a sheer blouse is an OLD style....

Does anyone remember Seinfeld? In one episode Elaine gave a white lacey bra to a friend that didn't wear a bra @ all(as a hint) and she ended up wearing the bra ALONE, then her co-worker did the same thing....it started a trend! :0)

I noticed, one of my grand daughters has straps that look like they're plastic and almost invisible...She told me, she has a couple of bras that you can use these straps for wearing with tank tops....Looked good to me....

As long as the bra is clean, and is a color other than white, I don't care if bra straps show. At least you know she is wearing a bra. (To me, a white bra is in the same category as granny panties--something not to be seen.)

But generally, I don't worry much about what other people wear.

Sorry! I'm very opinionated on this one. Trashy!

Sad when you can't tell the Streetwalkers from the Young Fashion Girls.

I'm with Kat. Guess they haven't been in the right line at Wal Mart to get the little gadgets one can reign in their bra straps with.
LOL @ pammyfay's link.
