In a transparent T-shirt without a bra. Walking without a bra has become a global trend. Photo. It is not recommended to wear light-colored things without a bra. This rule was well learned by model Lottie Moss.

In summer, the question of choosing clothes in the morning sometimes turns into a puzzle. You need to understand not only what to wear, but also what underwear to choose. One-shoulder tops, open-back bodysuits and spaghetti strap dresses force girls to do all sorts of tricks like silicone straps, front-fastening T-back bras, or even push us to radical solutions. All these perversions are useless, we urge this summer to free yourself from the shackles and breathe deeply without bras.

If we are talking about evening dress, you can safely wear a tuxedo, as well as complex dresses on your naked body. They do not include underwear. On the contrary, if under such an outfit its outline is guessed, lace is visible or a strap falls out - this is a bad form.

V Everyday life this question raises a lot more nuances. If you are going to wear a nightgown, a bodysuit with shorts or a camisole with thin straps, then forget about the bra. Surrounding people are unlikely to be against, but do not cross the line. These items should be of high quality, opaque materials and, if possible, lined as thinly as possible. Make sure that the stretch fabric does not shine through. At home, it may look decent on a hanger, but in daylight you risk becoming a “naked king”.

Feel free to wear tops with wide armholes and deep necklines without a bra and do not be afraid that under an alcoholic T-shirt or basic T-shirts and thin knitted sweaters, the shape of the breast will be easily visible. It's a classic of the genre.

It is important to walk the edge of this sharp razor with dignity. The temptation is great (after going without a bra for a while, you may not want to return to it), but do not abuse it and soberly evaluate your “caliber”. There is no need to go without underwear to business meetings, exams and acquaintance with the boyfriend's parents, especially for owners of magnificent forms.

If you are not bound by the ties of a dress code, leave the hated bra at home this hot summer. Drop the shyness and just try. You will definitely like it!

Three women from Slutsk told "Kur" er why they refused bras, how they feel without it and how people react to it.

Anastasia Grinenko: “Well, tell me, is it so difficult to take off your bra?”

I have the second size.

Now I don't wear a bra every day. I only wear it when my clothes require it. For example, an evening dress or a suit.

Without it, I feel free and sexy. When he is on me, there is a feeling of stiffness. But small, because I buy expensive underwear abroad - a set for $ 50-70. Imported is worn better, and the quality is different. Although "Milavitsa" is also pretty good underwear.

When I'm without a bra, grandmothers or other adults can say: "Aren't you ashamed", "Devil's registrations" and so on. But I don't pay attention to them. I never worried about what people would think of me, especially strangers and people passing by. After all, I don’t think about any of them, so why should they think about me. I don't have to live up to anyone's expectations.

It is unlikely that girls wear bras for convenience. Most likely, for the correction of the bust, well, the norms accepted in society play an important role.

Ladies, don't be shy. Do everything to become at least a little happier and freer. If you don't try, you'll never know what it's like to fall short of the norm. Tell me, is it that hard to take off your bra?"

Irina Branovets, 27 years old: “For 10 years I have been going without a bra”

Photo courtesy of Irina Branovets “My mother gave me my first bra for my 14th birthday. It was black, the first size and with a clasp in front. I was happy with this gift.

At the age of 17 she refused a bra. I remember it was a hot day, and I decided to take a walk without him. I like it. Without a bra you feel some kind of lightness, and with it - stiffness.

No matter how many underwear I buy, it’s still uncomfortable, as if I have something superfluous on me and it bothers me. At first I was embarrassed to walk without him, but the feeling of embarrassment quickly dissipated, because I was comfortable. I've been doing this for ten years now.

I have a small chest, so I don't need to support it. Even after my first child, I did not refuse to go without a bra.

I didn't notice any direct looks. It seems to me that now this is the norm, and many people walk like this. Mom only said that it was indecent to walk like that, but she was already used to it and had nothing against it.

The only man who compliments me and fully supports me is my husband. Not openly jealous. On the contrary, he says that I am beautiful, sexy and I do not need to hide anything.

Now I have to wear a bra because I'm on maternity leave and I'm breastfeeding."

Valeria Koiko-Belkovskaya, 23: “Chest should rest”

“The first topic for the chest appeared to me like at the age of 13. For some reason, I was embarrassed to wear bras, but in the topic it was comfortable.

Today my size (second) allows me to refuse a bra. I can do without it when it's hot or the mood is lazy. Sometimes I woke up, put on a regular T-shirt and went outside. In winter, instead of a bra, I put on a T-shirt, and on top - a sweater.

I feel comfortable. Surrounding people do not focus on this, since it is imperceptible to their eyes. I do not wear transparent blouses, T-shirts with a deep neckline. There was no such thing as nipples sticking out. I try to choose things so that the fabric is dense or the T-shirt is wide.

Those with large breasts wear bras for convenience, and those with small ones because they are used to it or "because it is necessary." At home, you shouldn’t wear them at all, especially sleeping in them, your chest should rest.

What do the doctor's say

The question of whether or not to wear a bra causes a lot of controversy among girls and doctors. There are opinions and results of various studies that not wearing a bra is useful, especially for those who have breasts of 1-2 sizes. They are less likely to get breast cancer, do not feel discomfort (nothing presses or cuts), they notice that their breasts have become more elastic.

However, girls who have a breast size of 3 or more are unlikely to be able to completely abandon the bra. They need underwear to support their breasts, otherwise they may sag.

WRITE. What do you think about it? How would you react if, for example, your colleague comes to work without a bra?

If you have noticed, there is a thriving pursuit of naturalness and convenience in fashion now, which for us - a generation that grew up on the glamorous aesthetics of MTV and glossy magazines of the 2000s - at times looks shocking. For example, this applies to the fashion for an open demonstration of the chest, in which the bra no longer plays the role of a protective “barrier”, but is reduced to two thin triangles of fabric or is completely absent. Scientists (no, not British!) from Franche-Comté University join the trend French city Besancon, who declare that we women, by definition, do not need a bra at all. It turns out that wearing a bra, in comparison with the complete rejection of the latter, has no advantages either in medical, anatomical, or psychological terms. It immediately comes to mind historical fact that the bra is not an invention for the benefit of mankind, but a piece of clothing designed to hide the sexualized and objectified part from male eyes female body- breast. By the way, just like long skirts in their time. But today we wear mini and do not complain that maxi is vital for us? So, we found 10 reasons to refuse a bra, or at least take a vacation from him for the whole summer.

Reason #1: Getting ready in the morning will be faster

Dressed, combed, drank coffee and ran on business. It will not be a secret for you that bras for us, as for men, are socks: the same white one with thin straps, which would ideally fit this blouse, evaporated somewhere, which caused you to turn the whole chest of drawers inside out and in addition , nervous, left the keys inside the apartment ...

Reason #2: You will save money

Any bra costs money, and the one whose lace does not treacherously shine, the straps do not stretch after a month, and the cups do not become covered with spools, also costs solid money. And now you just have to write a list of bras that are needed: a) beige, b) black, c) sports, d) without straps, e) push up, - and with an average cost of a model of about 3,000 rubles. You're already saving a lot of money...

Reason #3: You won't feel stuffy in the summer

A bra and summer are completely incompatible things, so if you decide to abandon this item of women's wardrobe, then in the warm season everything obliges you to do this: less sweat in the most unexpected places, unpleasant sensations “oh, how it itches” and only light a breeze that now freely blows over the whole body.

Reason #4: You will feel freer

Rethink in your head this feeling when you come home from work tired, take off your clothes, and then a tight bra, put on pajamas and feel how wings are about to grow behind you from the lightness of being behind you. Now imagine that without a bra these sensations do not end, and, which is especially pleasant, pajamas as streetwear are now in trend...

Reason #5: Long live the backless outfits!

These damn sexy plunging back sweaters, silk tops with intricate mesh back straps, and the usual Men's shirts, which can be worn backwards without fastening all the buttons on the back - now all this is yours by law. And no cheating with transparent straps, we're not at school!

Reason #6: Boring turtlenecks and inconspicuous tops will look much sexier.

Tired of the gray T-shirt you've been wearing for years? Just forget to wear a bra under it and it will look like it's a playful cleavage top. Don't know what to wear to a party? Take the same shirt that you were in the office on Friday morning, but just don't fasten the first 4-5 buttons on it ...

Reason #7: T-shirts with thin spaghetti straps won't look like a schoolgirl...

Which is very shy about its size A. Because if you have already graduated from both school and college a long time ago, being ashamed of your own body is at least strange. And if so, then perhaps these T-shirts will help you let go of stereotypes and just feel comfortable in your body.

Reason number 8: traces of bra elastic bands will stop squeezing and itching

Truly heavenly sensations that will be fully experienced by those who in life often made mistakes with the size of the bra (of course, this is a whole science!), And then in the subway on the escalator tried to “catch” the straps that had fallen somewhere or lower the bra lower by one movement, so that he now viciously rubs somewhere else.

Reason #9: You will discover that there are no ugly breasts.

But, unfortunately, there are bras that want to give different forms the chest is the same outline of a regular rounded ball, which in fact does not exist in nature.

Reason #10: After experimenting, you might want to switch to lighter bras.

Try to go a few days without a bra at all, and you might develop something like an allergy to tight push up bras with closed cups. If you note this for yourself, try light models of bralette bras - they do not have bones and support the chest only due to the fabric, and they are also suitable for owners of a magnificent bust.

MOSCOW, September 3 - RIA Novosti, Larisa Zhukova. On September 3, 1914, the first patent for the invention of the bra was issued. For more than a hundred years of its existence, this item of underwear has caused a lot of public discussion. RIA Novosti found out why many women still carry out entire campaigns against wearing bras.

No bra - no problem

At the end of May, social networks were swept by an unusual flash mob. Girls from all over the world were photographed in clothes without a bra. The action was called "No bra, no problem" ("No bra - no problem"). It began with the fact that 17-year-old American Caitlin Juvik came to school without wearing a bra under her clothes and was chastised by the management educational institution. According to the director, the schoolgirl looked vulgar and created her appearance problems: a male teacher complained about her. After that, a real rebellion began: 300 students of the institution came to school without a bra.

The fight continued in in social networks. On her Facebook page, Caitlin explained that she chose not to wear a bra for a long time, but this decision did not violate the norms of public morality. The girl added that wearing a bra is an intimate choice for every woman, and if society dictates what to choose, it makes the female body public.

Caitlin's page, where she called herself the "Braless Warrior", attracted tens of thousands of subscribers in just a couple of weeks. Under the #NoBraNoProblem hashtag, more than 7,000 photos have surfaced on Instagram showing girls demonstrating the benefits of not wearing bras.

Among Russian women, the action found support when Elena Rydkina, an “educator in the field of intimate relations,” took a photo without a corresponding wardrobe item and wrote on her page: “If you have small breasts that do not require support, bras are an absolutely stupid thing that only interferes with life. Freedom of the chest! Other residents of our country chose a more down-to-earth argument to support the movement: “When it’s hot, you want to walk around in a T-shirt and without a bra, but with my fifth size it’s difficult,” one of the flash mob participants complained.

Instrument of torture

From the first day of the existence of the patented bra, women perceived it ambiguously. Some saw in him a liberation from the "fetters" of the corset, others - a symbol of the oppression of a woman and her body. The item of underwear has become a kind of indicator of the mood in society.

In The History of Breasts, Marilyn Yalom describes two opposing attitudes to the female breast from ancient times: sublime, when breast milk was considered sacred, and sexy. “The ability to feed and the ability to excite compete with each other, still determining the fate of a woman,” the researcher writes. That is why the women's rights movement coincided with the anti-bra protests.

Bra: spicy fantasies from ancient Egypt to the present daySeptember 3, 1914 in the United States was issued the first patent for the Caresse Crosby bra, which consisted of two scarves and a ribbon. Experts told RIA Novosti about how this piece of clothing developed, what innovations were invented for convenience, whether it is harmful or useful to wear a bra and how to choose it correctly.
In 1968, an action began, which later became known as the "burning of bras." Radical women protested against the Miss America pageant, calling for the throwing away and burning of bras, false eyelashes and other women's household items, considering them humiliating. Some women even called an inconspicuous at first glance detail of the underwear wardrobe "an instrument of torture." The connection between wearing a bra and breast diseases (due to impaired blood flow) was also emphasized.
Most of the girls interviewed by RIA Novosti admitted that they were forced to put on a bra. However, they described their arguments in different ways.

"I can't afford to go without a bra at work. There are a lot of men. When I come in trousers, everyone looks at my legs and what is above. It's terrible to imagine what will happen if I come without a bra."

Anna, 31 years old

“I feel protected in a bra. But I don’t go without a bra: as soon as my husband notices this, he immediately demands to fulfill his marital duty. Not wearing a bra for him is a kind of call.”

Olga, 35 years old

“When I dramatically lost 20 kilograms, my chest became ugly: it sagged, lost its shape, turned into two empty bags with stretch marks. I didn’t take off my bra even in bed, but I dreamed that someday I would be able to walk without it”

Ekaterina, 28 years old.

“It’s like I’m naked without a bra. I don’t go out without it. I love the moment at the end of the day when it unbuttons. Of course, these are some kind of clamps: probably an inner shame that I’m a woman.”

Julia, 26 years old

Fighting windmills
Bare breasts in art symbolized freedom (for example, the famous painting by Eugene Delacroix "Liberty Leading the People"), sacred motherhood (the image of the Madonna nursing the baby) and femininity (the image of Venus in the paintings of Botticelli, Titian and many others). But in life, not everyone has a hint of bare chest is approved.
Almost all of the interviewed women noted that they treat each other extremely negatively if they notice the absence of an upper item of underwear. Most of the men interviewed, on the contrary, admitted that they did not experience negative emotions seeing that girl without a bra. Some noted that they were embarrassed by this, someone said that this was an outright provocation.
As psychoanalyst Dmitry Olshansky explained to RIA Novosti, breasts can be treated in different ways: as a source of nutrition, pleasure, a source of pride or complexes, an element of temptation, just an organ of the body. There is no pathology in this as long as a person accepts his body and feels comfortable in it. Rejection sometimes comes to radical surgical procedures (dysmorphophobia) and even gender reassignment. The other extreme is the rejection of cosmetics, bras and other attributes of gender.
Despite the fact that the problem of objectification of the female body really exists, everyone will also have their own perception of it: for some, these are sidelong glances, for others - harassment, for others - the possibility of flirting, the psychoanalyst emphasizes. Therefore, the movement against bras is “like fighting windmills”: it deprives participants of individual self-expression and is related to how much a person himself knows how to accept his body, feel his self-worth and accept gender identity.

All these complexities can be avoided. If you have neat small breasts of the first or second size, you can forget about the bodice for a while and breathe freely.

There are a certain number of things that are not only possible, but also necessary to wear in the summer without a bra. Of course, the case decides everything: if you have an important business meeting, interview or exam, then it is better to wait a little while giving up the bra. If we are talking about a more informal event, of which there are definitely more in the summer, then you can part with a bra without regrets.

Not only that, studies show that with constant wearing of a bra, the ligaments and muscles of the chest atrophy and become weaker. Large breasts cannot do without support, with flat or miniature (up to the second size) everything is much easier.

What can you wear without a bra in summer?

Tops with flounces

Tops and dresses with a ruffle in the bust area are one of the main trends of the summer. They can be worn without a bra.

Some models do not fully open the shoulders. For example, blouses from add intrigue and femininity to the image and look great even without a bra!

Shirt dresses and shirts

If you want to wear a men's shirt wide open, put on a beautiful tight-fitting top under it.

You can pick up various models of shirt dresses in a branded clothing and accessories store.

Crop Tops

Putting on a short top, throw away the thought of a bodice. These things are created precisely in order to maximize your feminine dignity and sexuality!
