Bras provide support and padding and make clothes look flattering. However, bras can also be uncomfortable and even make it difficult to wear some types of clothing. If you're considering a bra-less look, it's important to consider what to wear. You can use tricks to hide your nipples and keep your breasts covered. If you're still unsure whether to go braless, there are a few things that can help you decide if the right one is for you.

Method 1 of 3: Choose what to wear

1. Choose something that makes you feel good. The most important thing to consider when choosing clothes without a bra is how you feel in an outfit. Don't wear clothes that make you feel uncomfortable or shy. Choose something that looks good on your body, suits your style and makes you feel good when you wear it.
   • For example, if wearing low-cut tops makes you uncomfortable, this is probably not the best choice for a bra-less outfit for you. You could consider a dress with a low back or spaghetti straps instead.
2. Try a classic bra-less top or dress. There are certain types of tops and dresses that don't look so good with a bra, so it's a good idea to wear these right when you're going bra-less. Try wearing low back and backless tops or opt for a strapless or spaghetti dress or top. Other items of clothing that look better without a bra include:
   • Dresses and tops with a deep neckline.
   • Tops with laced fronts, backs or sides.
   • Tops and dresses with openings at the back.
   • Halter tops and tube tops.
3. Look for garments with built-in bras and support. Some garments have built-in bras, breast cups or elastic bands that make wearing a bra unnecessary. To make it easier to go out without a bra, find clothes with a little built-in support.
   • A tank top with a built-in bra can serve as an undershirt during your transition to bras-less clothing. Even once you're used to not wearing a bra, a tank top can be a great camisole if you need one (for example, under a thin, vintage T-shirt).
   • A bodysuit or leotard is a nice addition to a bra-less outfit. Layer it with a thin button-down top or lace sweater for a breezy, classic look. Bonus: Bodysuits and leotards provide built-in support for your breasts.
4. Consider starting with a layered bra-less look. Layers are great when you're not wearing a bra because they can hide your "bra-lessness." This clothing technique is especially useful in winter. Therefore, if menopause makes you nervous, winter may be the best time to try a bra-less dress.
   • A thick sweater will hide your nipples, so this might be a good bra-less clothing choice if you're worried about your nipples showing.
   • A T-shirt over or under a long-sleeved shirt is also a great bra-less combo.
   • A jacket or cardigan is also a great option to combine your bra-less look. These can be your lifesaver when it gets cold or windy, or when it unexpectedly starts raining.

Method 2 of 3: Hiding your nipples when going braless

1. Wear nipple covers or use tape to hide your nipples. One way to prevent your nipples from showing through your clothing is to cover them with nipple tape. You can find these in the lingerie section of most department stores or in specialist lingerie stores.
   • To use caps, remove the adhesive strip from the caps and place them on your nipple.
   • To use nipple band, apply a number of strips over your nipples in the shape of an X.
   • You can also try silicone nipple covers. These can be reused and stick to your body without glue. They work with almost any type of fabric and cut of clothing.
2. Wear thick fabric tops. Avoid clothing made of thin or sheer fabric. Thin fabric can reveal your nipples, especially if the fabric is a light color. If you want to wear a top or dress without a bra, wear it over a shirt or slip dress.
   • Silk or satin tops may not be the best choice if you're going braless, as the material is thin and perhaps too revealing.
3. Choose dark colors. Dark colors are less likely to shine through in bright light or if your shirt gets wet. If you are outside on a sunny day or if there is a chance of rain, wear tops made of dark fabric. Otherwise, your nipples will be visible through the fabric.
   • Patterned fabric, especially small patterns, will help hide your nipples.
4. Use toupee tape to hold your neckline in place. You may feel more confident gluing the neckline of a low-cut top or dress to your chest. This prevents the fabric from slipping and your nipples from showing. Toupee tape is ideal for keeping your neckline in place.
   • Run the tape around the edges of your neckline, then press the other side of the tape against your skin to keep everything in place.
   • Tape cannot hide clothes that just don't fit properly. If you go without a bra, it is essential that you make sure your clothes fit properly.
5. Use tape to hold your breasts in place. Surgical tape is a sturdy tape that adheres to the skin, so it works well to tape your nipples and keep your breasts in place when you dress without a bra. You can buy surgical tape at drug stores. To apply surgical tape correctly:
   • Lean forward slightly to lift your breasts. Place a strip of tape 12 "to 12" from the side of one breast (near the armpit) to the other, with the center of the tape along the bottom of your breasts, pulling them together.
   • Stand up straight and tape another strip of tape horizontally across your breasts and pull them together so that the tape covers your nipples. The ends of the second piece of tape should touch the ends of the first strip.
   • Sticking is not comfortable, so only do this on special occasions. For some types of clothing, taking tape for granted now and then can be worth the inconvenience.

Method 3 of 3: Consider going braless

1. Look at your clothes. Maybe you can go bra-less with tops or dresses where your bra would stick out if you were wearing one. Deep necklines, large back openings and backless tops or dresses are all garments that look better when worn without a bra.
   • Tops or dresses with thin straps or no straps at all can usually be worn with a strapless bra.
   • Not all fabrics are suitable for "bra-lessness". Thin or lace fabrics expose your nipples, and some fabrics, such as wool or stiff cotton, can irritate your skin. Synthetic fabrics such as lycra or nylon often work well without a bra.
2. Consider the situation. There are situations where you are expected to wear a bra. Job interviews, appearing in court, or meeting your partner's parents for the first time may not be the best times to go braless. If you decide not to wear a bra, think about the situation first and decide if you are comfortable dressing without a bra.
   • Don't forget that you can dress your body however you want. If you feel more comfortable without a bra, you should do it. Don't ever let anyone make you feel bad about your body.
3. Don't worry about hanging. There is no evidence that your breasts are more likely to sag without a bra, and there is no evidence that wearing a bra will prevent them from sagging. In fact, several recent studies have shown that not wearing a bra regularly helps to make your breasts look perkier.
   • Keep in mind that it is still okay to wear a sports bra while exercising. Sports bras help keep your breasts in place, which is important if you move and jump a lot.
4. Get used to your bra-lessness. If you start out with clothes without a bra, you may experience some discomfort because your breasts are not used to moving freely. To get used to bra-lessness, you can trade in your underwire bra for one without pads or wires. Or you can walk around the house without a bra at night and around the house until you feel comfortable without it.
