I dislike a cami in the summer, so I’d probably wear this beautiful top with a nude/skin-colored bra OR wear a column of color under it…maybe a black bra and black bottoms so it looks intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much/page/2#post-2415084 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:17:11 +0000 RobinF 2415084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm boring - I only wear nude bras :)</p> <p>I like the tops and think they look fine with a bra. I would wear a tank but they don't bother me anyway. I like the idea of trying it with a nude bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much/page/2#post-2415083 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:08:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2415083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top. I think I’d like it better with a nude for you bra. I don’t think it’s age inappropriate or anything like that, I just think a nude look would elevate the look. With a contrast bra I think the bra becomes more of the star than the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much/page/2#post-2415080 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 08:55:54 +0000 Jenni NZ 2415080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you see how you feel in the nude bra? I did something similar in my new-to-me (from last year’s clothes swap) cobalt top, I put a cobalt bra under it and you could only see the V part of the bra before it was the pin tucked folded parts of the top. It did feel cooler than having to wear a cami.<br /> Otherwise I might be purchasing a white bra or bralette?<br /> I think it’s partly that I don’t like the look of the contrasting colour underneath, would prefer the same or nude colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much/page/2#post-2415077 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:54:29 +0000 Bijou 2415077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would probably be OK with top #2 and a nude bra, but as soon as I am feeling a bit "I'm not sure about this..." I wear a cami or tank top underneath. It is a beautiful top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415061 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 02:41:04 +0000 Lisa 2415061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with you for no extra layers in the heat. One reason why I like graphic tees so much for summer is they add interest without layers. </p> <p>For this top I think any color bra is fine. You can go column of color with your bra and bottoms matching or opt for a bright bra for a high contrast look, or nude is you want something more subdued, you have lots of options for this pretty top. </p> <p>Personally I like the column of color idea best by pairing this white top with a navy or black bra and bottom which will really let the pretty open work detail standout on this top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415058 Fri, 12 Jun 2026 02:25:49 +0000 Debbie 2415058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both with just a bra and do this myself.

I think it LOOKS good both ways but I’d be uncomfortable with just the bra (which seems like a gorgeous one).

Period. 2415036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've thought about this issue a lot this year. Looking outwardly, I would not think for a second about anyone else wearing a combo like this. It looks great. I'd just think, "Wow, she looks very stylish and confident!"&nbsp; Looking inwardly, I was more hesitant. I felt too conspicuous. Then I hit on the idea of wearing a lacy, lined cropped top/bra (like those the under 30 set would wear alone as festival wear) or a simple wireless bra with support and coverage&nbsp;that looks like a cropped tank (like Soma's Enbliss bralettes). Problem solved. I'm not going to be running in the combo, but it is more than comfortable enough physically and psychologically for a day out.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415030 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:24:08 +0000 Sal 2415030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear the white shirt with just a bra. I would probably wear nude or a pale blue or lilac but I think black is fine too. Like you, occasion dependant.</p> <p>I do have a nude to me boring looking underwire bra that is my go to with white tops. I also have a pale blue bra with pretty straps that is my go to if my bra strap might peak out. </p> <p>I like both shirts too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415028 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:26:14 +0000 bella 2415028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate camisoles in the summer. I love that shirt but I personally would probably pass it on because I wouldn't dare wear it with just the bra.<br />At the end of the day, I think what matters is how you feel in it. If you don't feel too self-conscious, then go for it. I think I personally would.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415027 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:15:18 +0000 LJP 2415027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also I love your colourful bra collection ! I have 2 colours : black and nude , lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415026 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 18:13:27 +0000 LJP 2415026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I’m the odd one out here . I would only wear the white shirt with a cami under it . It’s one thing if you have no extra body fat that presents as “rolls “ near waistbands when you’re sitting down - but for me personally it’s too exposed and / or unfinished . Not in a too -sexy way or anything inappropriate , but it just seems too beach cover- up when worn with nothing under it. So if it’s too hot for a cami , I’d wear something else . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415024 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:59:50 +0000 SarahD8 2415024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a cropped woven linen camisole that I like under white sheer tops. It is somewhat loose fitting so not bothersome in the heat, and falls roughly to my bellybutton. So no need to mess with tucking but also not more than a sliver of tummy peeking through.</p> <p>I am distinctly *not* busty however.</p> <p>The pics you posted all look perfectly fine to me! I realize the sheer effect might be hard to capture in a photo but I echo others -- carry on!</p> <p>I think that cutwork top would also be great worn open as a breezy topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415022 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:45:10 +0000 Angie 2415022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have zero problem with either gorgeous top worn with just a bra - high or low contrast. It's just a pretty bra! Not a boob. AND your bras provide ample coverage.</p> <p>Go for it, <b>Janet</b>! Leave off the camisole when it's too hot. Have a fab trip :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415020 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:29:18 +0000 Janet 2415020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is helpful -- thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>My bras are black, cobalt blue, light blue, navy, green, and nude. All are lace, I've given up on so-called t-shirt bras because they always have some sort of padding in them, which I do NOT need, LOL. After trying this on with a few of them today, I think I could be comfortable in one of them under this shirt without a tank or cami. I just needed to spend a little time trying it, and photographing it helped too, as well as your feedback. Honestly, I'm more comfortable with this kind of exposure these days than I am with anything that's overtly cleavage-baring. A hint of sexy doesn't bother me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415018 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:02:26 +0000 Irina 2415018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t like to wear a camisole in the summer, too. This is not too sheer to me. I would wear a nude, cream or light beige bra under. I usually have a few to wear under white tops, shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415017 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:58:59 +0000 Suz 2415017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have zero problem wearing top 1 with just a bra. Carry on!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I'd wear top 2 with just a bra, too. But I'd get a white or (maybe) flesh toned bra.&nbsp; Or -- though I don't think this would be your style, exactly --&nbsp; <i>maybe </i>a brightly coloured one! One that matched my bottoms or something. I agree that the cami just makes it look too heavy and kind of spoils the effect of the gorgeous openwork. It's a beautiful top and I agree, the cut de-bombshells it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am wearing an openwork sweater today with a white tank top underneath. I tend to wear a cami or tank under my mesh and openwork tops, but I don't have broderie tops at the moment and I think they demand something different as a rule, just as you suggest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415016 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:55:52 +0000 Elle 2415016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a lovely blouse! I like it best with the black bra but only if you’re comfortable. The lighting in a restaurant is going to be much more flattering than the harsh bathroom light so the contrast will be less apparent. Another idea might be a bra that matches your skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415015 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:09:59 +0000 Jules 2415015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To add, I totally get having personal comfort preferences about exposure, I just don’t think it’s about the viewer so much as my own hangups. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415014 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:05:02 +0000 Jules 2415014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are people looking at a 50+ woman’s barely exposed bra tho? My honest sense at age 52 is nobody cares what I’m wearing, for the most part - if the clothes are loose and skin is ‘covered’, nobody is checking the details. And maybe not even in more revealing clothes.<br /> People are, or were, far more judgmental or just ‘looking’ at younger women (these days I think my own daughters are way more concerned about showing their toes than a bit of bra. They are actually embarrassed on my behalf if I comment on a particularly ‘skimpy get up’ seen in the wild). I wouldn’t wear the bra version to the office but anywhere else would be fine, IMHO. I think it looks great, actually, and a good solution overall as white bras always look more like ‘underwear’ to me and get a bit tatty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-see-through-is-too-much#post-2415013 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:42:43 +0000 Peri 2415013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely different then.
