"Exposed bra straps: Trendy or tacky?"
Are bra straps or backs showing in outfits trendy or tacky?
"Exposed bra straps: Trendy or tacky?"
Eh, I think it depends on the outfit and individual.
For example, right now I'm wearing a gym outfit (tank top) and my sports bra straps are peeking out, similar to the last image. Did I do it on purpose? NO. I cannot help it; it's how the straps are made and especially when you're moving, it's going to naturally happen to most women. It's not being trendy or tacky; it's just an accessory.
That and for most of us, it's summer time and hot outside: most tank tops or shirts will show a little bra strap and I think it looks fine- if done in a tasteful manner.
I don't really consider bra straps peeking out tacky unless the wearer is blatantly doing so for attention (like that middle image).
it depends sometimes u can't stop em if they are gliding but if they are supposed to be seen i would wanna wear something like this
This bra is made to be shown off which is why the straps got more wow than your average bra straps

Actually it's a new trend.
The style is supposed to be a frontal closure instead of a back closure it's not really that sexy to have your back closer clips showing that's tacky.
If the clips that undo your bra are in the back and showing through your shirt that's not trendy.
There are special bras made purposely to be shown off through an open shirt in the back or shown in the front of your shirt around your neck area. , These do not have the closure clips showing in the back they're right between the woman's breast in the front.
Victoria's secret and pink make a lot of those styles but again they're frontal closures not back closures.
I guess the purpose to these bras are to be shared. what's the point to pretty bra when you really can't show it off and have to hide it?
TWO EXAMPLE OF VICTORIA'S SECRET BRAS UNDER A BLOUSE.
Some girls wear fancy bras as tops so why would a few straps be a problem? It gets tacky if you are wearing something fancy and you have bra straps or a bra showing. Mostly no one will probably bat an eye under most circumstances.
it all depends on the person who styles it.. some people know how to style things to make them look nice and others don't..
the first 2 look good, you wouldn't even think of a bra strap..
the last one looks unappealing 100%. you can tell right away and it doesn't look good.
Don't think it's trendy, most girls will try to avoid it or they just don't care, no one purposely does it. I personally try to avoid it, I don't think it looks as good as when there's no straps showing.
This is something I'm always consciously aware of and try to avoid at all times, however during the summer season whilst wearing spaghetti strap tops etc. it's virtually impossible not to at least have my bra straps showing.
I DON'T think bra straps or backs showing in outfits is trendy or tacky.
If they're done PROPERLY as in @meetkitty123 s pix, then it looks Great!
If theyre done STUPIDLY, like they got dressed in the dark, then they deserve ALL the RIDICULE they get!
I call it tacky... They make bras for every style... People are too lazy to get bras that are fitted to their outfits... That strap shouldn't be exposed with the back out... Defeats the purpose of wearing back out shirts lol
I suppose if a woman wants to wear a top with open back and/or shoulders, she has a choice of either wearing a cute bra or no bra. I don't see why a bra can't be visible and incorporated into an outfit.
Well my bras are really cute so I don’t care if the straps show, I don’t it looks tacky, I wouldn’t want to go commando.
I think it depends. Like for working out bras it is totally ok but for anything else I think it's tacky
Seems like some new, TACKY trend, and kind of "low-class". But I can't really judge, on that, loving visible panty lines!! :)!
I love the first one but hate the second and would try to avoid the third.
I see nothing wrong with it but its not an issue I have since I am not a big bra wearer.
I think typically it looks "tacky" but I've seen women pull it off in a casual way that didn't appear trashy.
I think it's cool and sexy of a Woman
They always have been tacky and always will be. But I can't say that I really have a problem with it.
A bra strap out of place is just normal. But most women I know when they wear backless dresses or tops they go bra less...
It depends on the bra. Pic number 1 is okay, but the other two look bad.
That all depends on what kind of outfit a woman is wearing
