Divine Style: Fashion and Styling Tips: MUCH ADO ABOUT BRAS & BRA STRAPS...TO SHOW OR NOT?

Whether to show your bra and bra straps is an age old question. Stylists and fashionistas vary their opinions on this. Carrie Bradshaw truly made a bra the statement piece in a lot of her wardrobe ensembles on Sex and the City. The key is if you are going to show your bra or bra straps, make a statement with it. It does not look chic to be wearing a colored tank top and have a skin tone bra strap sticking out, nor does a black top with a black bra strap out look great. Go bold with it and don't do it at all.

For those ladies with large bossom's, you are in luck. Find stylish bras and you can show off those straps and bra's. Just look for elegant shoulder straps (not the large thick ones) to add flare to your look.

This is a Style NO!

Cute bra straps, so you don't have to be embarrassed when they show!

Style Tips:
Sheer ensembles with a coordinating bra color are a sexy yet stylish option. This look can be very classy and chic when done right. Flat fabric bras work best under sheer tops or go for a lace ensemble. Layer classy accessories to keep this look chic for day or night.

Visible Bra Looks can be very sexy and trendy. Pick a statement bra that contrasts the color of your top or dress. It should be very obvious that you are wearing a bra to be seen, aka Sarah Jessica Parker style. Fun colors and prints or lacy details work best. Black and white is always a hot combination.
