Why I'm Making my Bras Visible... And Why You Should Too

I stopped hiding my lingerie and made it my entire personality.

POSTED BY DANIELLA DANIEL-KALIO

Recently I've been obsessed with the bra- as-a-top and visible-lingerie aesthetic. It's been around for years, but this season has brought even bolder looks. This trend has taken over my feed, and honestly, I'm not complaining.

If you're scrolling through Instagram, you already know @sierrarenas is the queen of this look. Her effortless ability to turn lingerie into a fashion statement is pure art. She made me want to try it out, and I'm grateful that I did.

I've always been someone who loves the wild, riské side of fashion, but I'll admit that even I was a bit skeptical about trying this for the first time, especially being on the bustier side. Finding that balance between intentional fashion and an accidental slip can feel tricky.

Pairing a lace bra with low-waisted jeans immediately says this was a choice and not a malfunction. And when I tell you it's been my go-to trend this summer (and honestly might be making an appearance during fall as well), I mean it.

While any bra can work, I personally gravitate towards ones with lace, beads, or some kind of unique design or pattern.

How I Style Them

On Their Own

I love wearing statement bras or bralettes solo with jeans or a skirt (both mini and midi) paired with kitten heels or strappy sandals. 

Layered Up

On days when I'm feeling a little more covered up, I wear them underneath sheer tops, deeply plunging necklines, or halter tops. Letting just a small layer or texture peek out gives the perfect low-key vibe.

Lingerie is way too good to be hidden under layers of clothes — it's time to make it the centre of attention.
