The One Bra You’ll Never Need
We were heading out to visit Emerald Bay this week when I narrowly missed having a wardrobe malfunction. It wasn’t fatal but as I gave my outfit one last look before going out, (always a wise thing to do) I was surprised to find I hadn’t taken my own advice.
If you’re like most women you have slips, camisoles, plus panties and bras in a multitude of colors and styles. Lingerie should make us feel pretty, clothe our private parts, and serve a purpose.
Bras should provide comfortable support, look smooth under clothes and conceal your nipples (if you’re modest). There are push-up versions to enhance cleavage, T-shirt to smooth and conceal nipples, minimizers to reduce volume, sports bras to prevent movement, demi bras to wear under low cut tops, racerback to wear under halter and tops with close-set straps and on and on.
The bra no women needs to own is a white bra. Do I have some? Sure, but I can’t remember why I bought them.
The problem is a white bra always shows under light colored and white tops. If your intent is to showcase your pretty white bra under a sheer or thin top, go for it. I never say never about fashion anymore but for now, I prefer to have my lingerie work it’s magic invisibly.
The best alternative to a white bra is nude. Your nude! I have pale rosy skin so my nude is often ivory and sometimes very pale pink. If you have tan or dark skin look for a nude that closely matches your skin. They’re your best bet for having nothing show through under your semi-sheer and light tops.
While we’re on the subject of lingerie…I also prefer to have my panties be invisible and demand they be comfy. These are my favorite panties. I shared why I love them here. 
And on the subject of Emerald Bay, we’ve lived within a 4 hour drive of this gorgeous spot for over 40 years and were thrilled to finally see it. Put it on your must-see list when visiting Lake Tahoe.
Does your lingerie drawer hold many white bras?
Thanks for reading ladies and have a great day.

You are right on with the bras not showing. I see many women who don’t consider their undergarments when out in public. I think it’s a trend among younger women with lace showing. The women I see are not young yet their clothes are nice. ???
My bras include whites too. There ok under sweaters and thicker fabrics. I think I buy them out of habit. We didn’t always have skin-tone bras. Well no more for me after they wear out.
Thanks for the post.
It may take several shopping trips to find the right nude, but you’ll never look back once you find it.
