IDK if this is actually a fashion trend but, I’ve noticed recently some girls with $30 in bills going braless? Like dressed up professionally for office job, sans bra.
I would 100% do this.
I would be annoyed if I was unable to because I had too much change.
Yeah, a lot of women are rebelling against the idea that you have to wear a bra to look “professional”. Truly people should be able to do what makes them comfortable. I wish I could go bra-less, but my back would give out before the end of the day.
I agree they should do whatever makes them comfortable. I also 100% acknowledge that this is a me problem, but I find it very “distracting” in a sexy way. I suspect I just need to get used to it and I’m here for that journey.
If you noticed and are distracted (and you’re not the only one), I’d argue that it’s a them problem not a you problem. If you’re “dressed up professionally for an office environment”, that dress code is supposed to be boring, conservative, modest clothing. I personally hate workplaces like that, but if that’s the kind of place you work, then that’s the expectation.
Assuming what you found distracting were nipples, there are ways of not wearing bras while still keeping nipples hidden or at least discrete. If someone’s supposed to be “dressed up professionally for an office job”, it’s reasonable to say that someone who isn’t making an effort to hide her nipples isn’t meeting the dress code. It would be the same if a guy came in wearing a skin-tight shirt from Father Sons.
I would love it if we lived in a world where workplaces just let people wear the clothing that made them comfortable, but until we reach that world, people who have to dress conservatively for a business environment are going to have to cover up.
I grew up before the trend of women being required to have shapeless lumps for breasts and welcome with my whole heart the demise of the foam padded bras and gods damned, horrifyingly named “modesty pads”. There is no way that having nipples should be considered unprofessional but here we are. I don’t like the look of the lumps and don’t like the implication that only the unnatural smooth look is professional.
I think it’s way more stigmatized in the US than it is in the EU, for example. I’ve seen a lot of nips in professional settings that I find shocking, but only because it’s made me realize how much it is sexualized? in the US. Which is weird.
I feel like we’re going back more to bra-less or “less structured” styles for all sizes, or at least I see it more, which I think is cool. A large portion of people also have pains with bras because there is a lot of shitty/predatory retailers that don’t stock “uncommon” sizes and will try to shove you into “something” so you leave with a purchase so I think it’s kind of a twofold thing. It is shockingly hard to find weird/uncommon sizes outside of online or boutique stores too which can get pricey fast, and finding or having the money to properly find a bra that fits is honestly frustrating because there is huge fluctuation between brands (when there shouldn’t be!!!).
I personally am not a fan of bearing nips to the world so I’m forever stuck with bras/pasties but maybe one day lol.

Yeah, just like bare shoulders and ankles, I think people will get used to it over time.
