THE EXPOSED BRA TREND
Wearing high-quality, impeccably designed underwear that makes you feel confident and sexy is one of the best feelings. So why hide such beautiful garments?
The exposed bra trend is making its mark as it’s edgy, sexy, and undeniably cool! Whether you're showcasing some side exposure with one of our strapless bras or showing off the lacy neckline of a luxury bra, our stunning collection ensures you achieve the perfect exposed bra top look this summer.
WHAT IS THE VISIBLE BRA TREND?
Much like the sheer dress trend, the visible bra trend focuses on what lies beneath. Fashion icons like Sydney Sweeney, Maya Jama and Rita Ora are choosing to flaunt their beautiful bras rather than keep them hidden. This trend ties into the 90s’ fashion revival (see the equally gorgeous brown outfits trend), as the industry fondly looks back at classic red carpet looks and Britpop fashion.
Revealing just a hint of your lingerie is playfully sexy and exudes confidence and femininity. The visible bra outfit is daring and exciting, so make sure your bra fits perfectly and you’re as covered as you want to be (don't shy away from using nipple covers if you're going for fully sheer bras).
SIX WAYS TO STYLE THE EXPOSED BRA TREND
There are many ways to style an exposed bra top, and only one rule: you’ve got to love it! That lucky undergarment is going to get noticed, so confidence in your choice is key. Here are six of our favourite ways to wear the latest underwear-as-outerwear-worthy Boux bras:
#1 SHIRT PAIRING
Try a classic crisp shirt over our delicately detailed Petal satin plunge bra for a chic look. Don’t be afraid to unbutton those buttons! For a special occasion, swap it for the sleek Gracey sheer balconette bra. Its clever three-piece cup construction creates a full yet natural lift and looks incredible under a smart dress jacket or blazer.
#2 OVER THE TOP
Let your soft, satin Betsy satin plunge bra peek over the neckline of your top. This works particularly well with vests and a bold bra colour, or choose the Annabella sheer balconette bra to expose some gorgeous floral detail.
#3 UNDERNEATH
If you’re as captivated by the Eladie sheer balconette bra’s adorable embroidered florals as we are, you’ll want to display it prominently. Pair an ornate bra like this with a sheer dress or top to keep its unique design visible.
#4 TANK TOP
Racerback with a beautiful strap—say it again! Embrace an exposed bra strap under a tank top! Enjoy the stunning sheer mesh and satin piping detailing of the Jordyn sheer balconette bra beneath your tank top.
#5 ON TOP
If you’re feeling especially confident in your styling abilities (which you should be), try wearing your underwear on top of your clothing! Layer the well-structured Jada plunge bra over a baby-tee for a chic vintage look. The elegant eyelash lace in this limited edition sage green shade is simply too stunning to not wear as an exposed bra.
#6 BRA TOP
Fully embrace the visible bra trend by opting for a 100% exposed bra top. Achieve the ultimate noughties look with the Tara longline basque paired with high-waisted jeans. Or for more coverage opt for a lounge bralette like the Ribbed seamless floral lace bralette for your chosen bra top.
WHY WE LOVE THE EXPOSED BRA TREND…
The revealed bra trend is literally close to our hearts because bras are beautiful garments in their own right and deserve to be seen. It's time to give your gorgeous bralettes, your best balconettes, and your favourite push-up bras the spotlight they deserve.
