Your weight and the size of your belly doesn’t define your worth or limit how poppin’ you can look. And when it comes to fashion, there’s no separating straight-size trends from plus-size trends. Anyone can wear anything and everyone will rock it in their own unique way. No competition, no comparison. Since lingerie dressing is an unstoppable trend and bralettes continue to get prettier and prettier, we decided to wear ours as crop tops. “I LOVED this bralette’s keyhole design (despite my lack of cleavage). This outfit exposed slivers — not chunks — of skin so I felt sexy without appearing inappropriate,” said Brittany. Sheer We Go Lace Bralette ($19, Modcloth) However, I had to layer it over a strapless bra to avoid freeing the nipple in the office. Faux Leather Mesh Neck Bralette ($25, Torrid) “I felt like a young ’90s woman running errands in this look (middle hair part and all). Although I never wear olive or florals, I fell in love with this bralette. It was an easy way to add a subtle feminine touch to my otherwise laid back look,” said Brittany. “Ah yes, this is me in my natural element: all black, baggy joggers, and a leather jacket. This bralette wasn’t padded like the other two, but thankfully my girls don’t need much support,” said Brittany. Comfort and Charisma Lace Bralette, ($19, Modcloth) Strappy Mesh Bralette ($28, Torrid) “Clearly, I should’ve spent my 20s in the ’90s instead of being born into the decade, but I had no say in the matter. I definitely channeled Pheobe from ‘Friends’ for this look. It’s casual and comfy but more put together than baggy sweats and an oversize hoodie. Although believe you me, I still wear that on the reg,” said Brittany. Textured Lace High Neck Bralette ($13, Torrid) “Never in my life have I worn a bra OR bralette with more than three clasps. My baby boobs don’t need that type of support! Other than the oversize back strap, the bralette itself was fine. A little big, but I loved the deep cut,” said Brittany. Optimal Effortlessness Lace Bralette ($19, Torrid) The thick back strap and multiple clasps kept my boobs perked up and my back fat in check. This was a great way to end the try-on. Black Lace and Mesh Longline bralette ($35, Torrid) Whether you are as small as Brittany or resemble my body shape, you should feel comfortable showing off your belly. You don’t have to rock bralettes as tops, but don’t let your fear hold you back from having fun with fashion.
