Many women would agree that one of the best parts of the day is when the bra comes off. Through time, bra trends have ranged from uncomfortable to effortless. We are lucky enough to live in an era of the latter. After suffering in push-up bras for just a little too long, women have polarized to an opposite extreme: the bralette. This is not a post about lingerie, though. Truthfully, the bralette’s first job is usually style, and support is rarely considered.
This stunning Fashionista displays the trend flawlessly with this Urban Outfitters pick. She contrasts a bright scarlet romper with a crisp white bralette. The halter neckline strays from the romper’s straps and makes its own bold statement. On the back, there is a delicate triangle formation that stands apart from the lace body on the rest of the piece, something that has also been very trendy lately.
Bralettes can be a statement or a subtle detail. This Fashionista chose a very soft look with hers. The simple color and fabric allows it to politely call attention to itself. Lace halter bralettes are very common and typically easy to style. The range of looks reaches from sheer and skinny to caged and covering. It is up to each Fashionista which style fits her personality or her mood.
This trendy detail is perfect for the upcoming summer months. Sometimes a look can feel too plain, but the addition of layers can dangerously raise the temperature. Bralettes are usually light and even more breathable than a normal bra. Although they are easily convertible from one season to the next, there is something about a bralette that screams “summer.”
How To: A bralette adds a little extra to any look. Never be afraid to spice up a simple look with a peek of crochet or interesting straps.
