I have a friend who is just a knock out. There is no other way to explain it. She’s beautiful and intelligent, and quite often is the voice of reason when I feel like I’m in crisis. She has great taste in clothes and always looks great when she dresses up. Though she looks perfect she is over 40 and says that there is no way she can go without her bra. When she wears something that does not allow for a regular bra, she has to find one with clear bra straps. Though she says that is not a perfect solution, it is what works for her.

I personally don’t own anything that would necessitate the need for clear bra straps, but I think it is high time that someone invented them. I don’t know what the social code is for wearing a bra like that, but I know I would much rather see clear bra straps when someone is wearing something low cut than to see just too much. Often women wear low cut tops and they don’t wear a bra with it because the top is cut strangely. If they don’t wear a bra they hang out all over the place.

They are great for women who might need something a little better than a strapless bra can handle. If someone has a large chest, there just aren’t strapless bras strong enough to handle the problem. That is where clear bra straps are a Godsend. There is nothing worse that being a large chest women and being confronted with a strapless dress. Though there are some women who love to let it all hang out, most of us aren’t willing to share that much with the world. The next time I am in a wedding, I know I am going out to find something with clear bra straps or I’m just not going to be involved at all.

There are some times when you might not want to wear clear bra straps and it will depend on who you are and how comfortable you are. I know that even though they are clear, they are still part of a bra. I might wear one if only a small portion of it might be showing, but you won’t catch me wearing clear bra straps on a strapless dress. Of all the things that have come and gone in fashion, at least these have a good purpose.
