Why not go braless with a plain tank top with printed jeans and simple ankle boots? Finish this look with handbag and round sunglasses.

Still, I was feeling inspired and too lazy to do my lingerie laundry. So, bra-less I went. No one at work noticed, but my mother sure did. As a way to still feel fashionable and put-together, “I would buy summer dresses that normally have some sort of tightness in the chest area to push things together and keep [my breasts] up. That’s how you get away with not wearing a bra,” she says of how her habit of going braless began. “But I fully expect that in my later years I will become that braless old woman, and I do not care at all.” The reasons for reevaluating one’s relationship with bras are plentiful, but a common thread appears to be a journey toward body neutrality. Victoria Paris, an influencer based in Los Angeles, also said she started wearing bras less frequently in 2020. “I think I just stopped caring as much about the way I looked because…I wasn’t going into an office, I wasn’t going to school. I wasn’t worried about how people saw me,” she says of her early COVID uniform, which consisted of oversized shirts and tank tops with no bra. Paris, who is known largely for her fashion, travel, and home decorating content and has had partnerships with brands like Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, frequently posts photos of her outfits, many of them braless.

Conversely, the early days of quarantine have pushed some to discover a new appreciation for the pulled-together feeling that wearing a bra can provide. “At the beginning of quarantine, I relished in the ability to wear leggings and a sweater and call it a day,” says Caldwell Harden, a client services manager based in New York City. “But as quarantine lagged on, I just grew tired of not making an effort with my outfits and I started really thinking about how I got dressed every day. Soon, I started seeing a correlation in the effort I put into my outfit and my outlook towards the day.” Eventually, Harden returned to wearing a bra on a daily basis. Did you go to work like that?” she asked in a monotone voice, like she was discussing either the weather or tax season.

Tank top and high waist pencil skirt with chunky belt is a great combination and a perfect one to pull off the braless look with.Like what?” she replied, in Russian. “Your boobs are everywhere." I lasted all of two minutes at the gym. I didn't know whether to hug him or yell at him. I felt like one of those women that get really pissed at their live-in boyfriends when they don't notice how clean the apartment is. I was practically walking around with two headlights out. Wearing (or not wearing) a bra is a personal choice, of course, though it’s also worth considering what its fundamental purpose is. “Bras can be helpful for women who have breast pain, which is very common, because, if properly fitted, the bra can provide support to the breast and can help reduce discomfort,” says Dr. Deanna J. Attai, MD, FACS, an associate clinical professor in the Department of Surgery at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine and the UCLA Health Burbank Breast Care. She also mentioned that a supportive bra is usually recommended for “at least during the immediate postoperative period” for people who have undergone surgery. Otherwise, Dr. Attai says, “There are no good medical reasons for or against wearing a bra.” Personally, I’m of the belief that bras should always be optional no matter your outfit, but if you’re the type of person who prefers some support alongside your braless lifestyle, you can have your cake and eat it too. Cue the best shirts you don’t have to wear a bra with. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs, but they have some things in common: These all provide support, structure, and/or camouflaging while remaining comfortable and stylish.
