Is it fine for a 20yo woman to wear a shirt without a bra?

1. I got rid of all my bras during the pandemic. One of the best things I’ve done. I only use bralettes for work but other than that they’re free wherever I go.

2. I rarely wear bras anymore. I have one sports bra with no padding that’s really comfortable that I’ll wear sometimes. Besides that it’s either nipple covers or let ‘em hang loose 😎

3. I think it’s perfectly fine if you’re flat chested or just have small breasts. I actually like that look. Me on the other hand I could never pull that off because they would be down to my belly button. Yeah I’m exaggerating a little. Thing is sometimes the ol nips are visible but you can use those little stickies to flatten them if that bothers you.

4. I have DDD’s but I don’t really wear bras anymore unless I’m going to an event where I need to dress up. I either wear an unlined non-padded longline sports bra, bralette, or tank that has a built in bra without the little pads inside. My comfort is more important than anyone’s opinion or judgement.

5. It’s your choice , wear whatever you like

6. I can’t imagine giving a crap about the perception of men to my choices around clothes. I care about how I look for my own sake, not theirs. If you’re comfortable without a bra, don’t wear one. I’m small up top and generally just wear bralettes, mostly because I like the (modest) support, but going without one is an option too, as it is for you

7. Just avoid ultra religious dudes and Karen’s and you’ll be okay.

8. It’s fine as long as you are OK with men looking at your nipples.

   I’m not saying they are right to do that, but I’m saying it will happen, and that’s upto you wether you are OK with it or not

9. I started not wearing one when I turned 18. I opt for bralettes or sports bras without paddings if I really need to but if not, nipple covers only or not wearing anything at all for quick errands.

10. > how do men feel seeing a woman wearing a shirt without a bra

    I’ll take “things I couldn’t give less of a fuck about” for 5000, Alex.

    Wear whatever you are comfortable in. If men can walk around shirtless when the tiniest bit of sun pokes through the clouds, women should be allowed to go braless in a shirt without being hounded and harassed by men without house training.

11. It all depends on who you are with. Some will say it’s perfectly acceptable. Some will say it’s wildly inappropriate. Most will absolutely not care at all.

    You do you. You wear what you are comfortable with. And if someone complaints. Just say OK, thanks, and move on with your day exactly how you planned on doing it.

12. I wear one to work but rarely any other time.

13. I’m braless everywhere except work and the gym.

14. I’ve seen 50 year old well endowed women go out in public with no bra on, boobies floating around everywhere. You do you. Whatever feels comfortable!

15. My girlfriend said some of her flatter friends wear pasties on their nipples to not show them as much through shirts.

    Since they don’t need the support too much they don’t use bras, but sometimes nips show and pasties can help with that.

    Obviously not stripper pasties with tassels

16. Yea I have some boobies (last I remember 38
    D) and I haven’t worn a bra since I turned 18 (so 10 years) bras hurt. A lot. I’ve worn various types growing up and nothing beat the feeling of freedom unde my shirts. It’s def a distraction because my sister comments on it all the time but I don’t wear tight shirts. I’m average weight just got some boobies on me, so it is obvious I’m not wearing one but I wouldn’t say it’s that bad for me (again I don’t wear tight shirts) I do it purely because bras hurt my back. Like bad. When I wear certain dresses I will wear a bra due to it just looking better but it’s coming off the moment it can. I’m all about no bras. I find them extremely unnecessary I don’t care the size of the girl. Bras can be sexy though and I would assume there are guys out there that prefer bras (I don’t know any ha) but yea. I wouldn’t worry about the no bra thing either way. Especially with a flat chest. To me that look is hot and I wish more girls did it. (That sounds odd ha but yea embrace the boobies)

17. If someone doesn’t want to wear a bra that’s their preference. Doesn’t matter that anyone else thinks. People shouldn’t stare (or at least make it obvious) and comment on their breast.

18. Yes

19. i often go braless or, at most, wear a bralette. I’m like a 32C and nobody seems to care. i might wear band-aids or nipple covers if I’m worried about my nipples showing but that’s rare.

20. Wear whatever you do or do not want!!! It’s your choice and as long as YOU feel happy/comfortable/confident that’s all that matters. Anyone who has an issue with it is not worth having around you.

21. Yes, it’s fine.

22. Why does it matter?

23. if u feel comfortable, why would be inappropriate. i often go out without a bra if i’m just going to the store or just to visit my friend.

24. i think it’s fine as long as you’re comfortable with it!! I however have DDs and could never because i feel like everyone is staring🤣

25. Men will look, and like probably. Some women as well, some peeps will whine…

    Just go what what you like. It’s not like you need to explain yourself to people.

26. In the 70s almost every woman did…”burn your bra!” That was an actual feminist call to action…So you wanna go without a bra, go right ahead!

27. Lmao I do this but only w thick black shirts, like something from uniqlo. I don’t really like the nip being out like that with thin shirts in both men and women. It’s not that I want to look at it, it’s just like “oh you got a lil dirt there– oh no thats your nip sorry” kind of thing 😭

    But it’s ultimately your choice, if someone judges you for it they’re just an a**hole 😌

28. I’ve never owned a bra.. too constricting.

29. i rarely ever wear one unless i’m at work or a restaurant. people stare and judge but it’s 2023 if nipples are their biggest issue that’s not my problem. i’ve never really noticed it on anyone else though. if you want to be braless, go ahead but make sure you’re able to ignore the looks

30. Dress for yourself not for others

31. My sister hasn’t worn a bra in over 2 decades. I’ve never heard her mention anyone giving her flak about it. Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life.

32. I’m 43yo woman and rarely wear a bra. They are uncomfortable and could give two hoots if someone sees my nipples. 36C and I let them be free.

    Edit for size.

33. Alot of people do as long as you don’t show your nips or where see clothing people will look if they like what the see that it

34. Yes. It is. We are in 2023

35. Free the nipple

36. Guys why are people sharing this? Where u sharing it to lol

37. I rarely wear bras. You just have to get comfortable with the fact that people will look. my nipples naturally are pretty hard a lot of the time so it’s not really something I can hide. I still take into account occasions, like work or weddings etc. I wear one. but just going out with friends or grocery store etc. no I don’t. or if it’s a day where I really don’t want to be perceived I will wear one

38. Only since you asked about how guys feel…w/o taking into account that you’re flat chested, if I can see your nips, then I think it’s kind of indecent. In addition to that, if I can clearly see the way your boobs hang and their shape through your clothes (pretty likely if only wearing a tshirt) I personally would be less likely to approach or be interested. Gives off a certain vibe TO ME.

    However, since you’re flat chested, you might not have to worry about the second thing. I think if you just cover your nips and I can’t easily make out what your boobies look like through your clothes, you’re good.

    THIS IS MY OPINION

39. Man, here. You should be fine. As you said, you’re flat chested and don’t see the point. If it’s not comfortable to wear a bra, then don’t wear one. If going into work or a family event, perhaps a sports bra, hoodie, or something similar would be okay. Others don’t need to know that you’re not wearing a bra … it’s your business and not their business, especially if they can’t tell either way. Most of all, it comes down to what you’re comfortable with. Personally, I don’t care whether or not women wear bras. It’s not my body, and I do know that bras can be uncomfortable. Best wishes.

    BTW. There are men that may have bigger chests and perhaps ought to wear a man-bro or something.

    PS. I don’t know much bras cost, but that would be extra money saved that could be spent on something else.

40. I wear a bra when at work, in professional or formal spaces, or if my nipples are extremely obvious. Otherwise I don’t. It’s more comfortable not to and people shouldn’t be staring at my chest anyways 🤷‍♀️
