Just seen a woman wearing a red boob tube with a grubby white strapped bra. If she can’t find a strapless bra that fits, why buy and wear boop tubes or any other clothing that shows off bra straps. Not a good look.

Why do women think it’s ok to wear clothes like this

Maybe she was hot and it was the only comfortable bra she had 🤷‍♀️

Shallotsaresmallonions · 22/05/2026 17:14

Because it is okay.

Tableforjoan · 22/05/2026 17:14

It a bra strap not a dildo fucking hell.

Sirzy · 22/05/2026 17:14

It’s not something I would do but I couldn’t get offended by a bit of bra strap by someone just out and about on a warm day.

Batties · 22/05/2026 17:14

I thought we’d moved past telling women how to dress.

CieloElmers · 22/05/2026 17:15

Oh god not a bra strap! Call the police!

Deadleaves77 · 22/05/2026 17:15

It's a bra. Women with boobs wear bras, hardly a shocawr. No one gives a shit

HerbyWitch · 22/05/2026 17:15

It's just a bra. A bra is an entirely optional piece of clothing. Some people, me included, like to make their bra part of their outfit on the odd occasion.

Or maybe she was just sweating her tits off and didn't give a fuck.

Tableforjoan · 22/05/2026 17:15

What’s your opinion on 😮 bare ankles op.

Checking how far back in time we are travelling.

MaggieBsBoat · 22/05/2026 17:16

I’m a fan of women wearing whatever the hell they like as long as I don’t have to see their privates! I don’t have to like their style choices.

Lemonade2011 · 22/05/2026 17:17

Women can wear what they want, it doesn’t affect anyone else, you wouldn’t do it I guess but you’re quick to comment, just move on with your day

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 22/05/2026 17:18

Oh FFS. How judgy.

Limon22 · 22/05/2026 17:19

What’s worse than wearing a white bra and a strapless red boob tube? Noticing it or even worse - being annoyed by it.

What’s worse than noticing it/being annoyed by it? Posting it on mumsnet.

Get a hobby.

Why do women think it’s ok to wear clothes like this

Because they want to.
Because it was the only thing clean.
Because it literally affects noone else.
Because they dont give a fuck.
Because why do you care.
Because we don't live in a country with a government that dictates our clothing choices.
Because people can choose not to look at her if they're offended by a bra strap.

Its amazing the amount of grubby or worn bits of underwear that's showing these days. But it's the 21st century so that's ok - there's a COL crisis dontcherknow 🙄

FourSevenThree · 22/05/2026 17:20

Why do women think it’s ok to wear clothes like this.

Because it ... is ok. Sometimes the result agrees with your aesthetics, sometimes it doesn't , but it is still just a bra strap.

Iheartmysmart · 22/05/2026 17:21

Oh no! Woman wears a bra, what is the world coming to. When men can walk around without a top on at all, why are women ridiculed for showing a bra strap.

Behave.

mondaytosunday · 22/05/2026 17:22

I hate exposed bra straps too. And wearing a strap bra with a strapless top? Not a good look.

Well, it would affect how often people might be able to replace those worn or dingy clothes so you probably do have a point despite the sarcy eye roll.

Or maybe they don't separate their whites and colours as neatly as they should cos it doesn't bother them.

TY78910 · 22/05/2026 17:22

Oh ffs 😂
Send us a pic of your outfit. I’m ready.

Op still wouldn’t be happy even if it was a black or blue bra strap.

The off white was probably thinking it would make the vote go her way.

BeardySchnauzer · 22/05/2026 17:23

I’ve noticed that visible bras is no longer out of fashion or whatever. And that people wear normal bras with all sorts of tops that in the past people would probably have bought a strangely shaped bra for. It’s quite a practical attitude!

I saw a woman with a beautiful back less dress wearing a standard bra. I assume she liked the look

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/05/2026 17:24

Well obviously she should have worn a red bra

Wickedlittledancer · 22/05/2026 17:24

Are you a man or a woman, and are you always so judgemental,
