What does ML think - trashy or normal

[TrickyBob]

Bandeau bras with muscle shirts and muscle shirts + cut out backs. 

The picture is huge but here is an example;

Example of what I am talking about



Disclaimer: I have no idea what website it is or anything, I didn't start this thread based off of that particular photo. 

ETA: A lot of the shirts I am seeing, having the arm hole open all the way down the side and connected by about 1" of fabric. 


I saw this recently on some female family members (who are all in their 20's) and then saw it some more on all ages of women and in some YouTube videos. It's not something I would do because a) I'm fat and no one wants to see that and b) a) is pretty much it. I feel like it's appropriate for beach wear but normal every day stuff? I don't know. I grew up being taught "don't show everyone your bra", so it's hard for me to go "oh, that's normal." 

I'm not totally knocking it, because in comparison to everything else out there - it isn't that terrible.

I just think of it as young. Like 22 and under.

[MWOS]

It feels really 80s to me

I bet Madonna did this

off to google

[discogranny]

It's not for me but my teen cousin is rail thin and it looks good on her. She takes care with coordinating the bra/shirt though, so not just a random bra showing through arm holes.

Yes. I've seen it. I could never and would never wear it but it's okay on younger girls.

I think of it as too young to know any better.

In yoga classes, I am always jealous of girls wearing shirts like these:

So in the right place, I have no issue with them.

Trashy in the wrong context or on the wrong person. Under 22 in a club / social setting? fine. 50 year old at a job interview? not so much.

Cute if you're young. But anything is cute if you're under 21 or so.

Madonna invented that look. Those kids are imitating grandma little do they know.

I have a few old soft and comfy t-shirts that I've cut to look like this. I run in them with a sports bra underneath. I do it because it's comfortable.

But people really wear this as regular clothes? Nope.

[jennysmitten]

This is what we wore to softball practice, with a sports bra.

[Deleted]

My sister does this and I hate it. (She's 13).

[AHappierHour]

I think it looks fine on younger girls or when your working out with a sports bra.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

This is something that is fine at a Ke$ha concert or the beach or other summery outdoors thing. It's NMS, but I'm old.

[nadasteph]

My cousins 14 and 15 yr old daughters were dressed like that for my grandpa's 85th birthday. A little inappropriate for the event but whatever.

[CheshireGrin]

Sounds like gym or beach attire to me. And only if you're young and thin.

Otherwise, no.

[villageidiot]

My kid sister rocks that look a lot. Mostly around the house and going to the beach and such, but she's 18, and I don't have a problem with it.

[adhdfashion]

My Sil wears these tops all the time. She is 27. It looks trashy and she is model thin.

[statlerwaldorf]

I find it trashy and get off my lawn.

[Bree Van de Kamp]

Not a fan. Personally, my boobs are way too big for all that. I doubt they even make those bras in my size.

[Deleted]

I've worn tops like that to hot yoga.

[kirra]

As a fashion statement, I don't particularly like it.

My sister does it with neon sports bras and white tanks when she works out, especially if she's running during the summer, and I'd probably do the same if I had the body to do so (I don't. She does).

[shamalamadingdo]

If I was hot id wear it

[snickers]

Not my style, but I can see young girls wearing it.

[runforrest]

I'm too old for it (33), but I don't mind it on the younger folks.

However, I really like those jeans in that picture.

[Kit]

Not a fan, it's pretty fug.

[pantsparty]

Tra-shy.

That top - as long as your fit, I don't know that age plays a role in it.

BUT you can't have boobs with that shirt!  Unless you want your bra straps showing....
