I really don't see why it should be a problem. Even in more traditonal industries such as banking or law offices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393391 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 12:56:56 +0000 jurocha 1393391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very similar top in white and one in nude (long sleeved, though) and I either go strapless or let the straps show (as Diana said, just choose a bra in the same colour of the shirt and with thin straps).</p> <p>If you won't go strapless, what about a tube top with a built-in bra? Would that be easier to find in a fit that pleases you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393252 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 01:16:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1393252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't buy these kind of tops for this very reason. I just don't like the look of straps showing through. Maybe it depends on the bras you wear - mine have hefty straps, not elegant narrow ones.</p> <p>I agree with others, though, in any case this isn't what I'd wear to an interview for an office job. Too many lingerie associations with sheer fabrics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393208 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 23:07:49 +0000 Anonymous 1393208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Diana - I find they either don't show through enough to bother me, or I pick a bra with nice straps and just go with it. Not an interview top though, in my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393207 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 22:57:58 +0000 Gigi 1393207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would look around for a bra that has removable bra straps, and then you can replace them with clear straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393204 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 22:37:55 +0000 Mander 1393204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just wondering if I was missing a trick! I have a blue top already with a mesh top like this and I hardly ever wear it because not only the bra strap but also the top of the cup part (where the strap attaches) is visible. So far I haven't found a bra that is cut the right way to not show.</p> <p>Guess that's another thing to add to my list of stuff to look for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393168 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 20:48:06 +0000 Diana 1393168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, I just let my bra straps show. &nbsp;It doesn't bother me. &nbsp;I will try to choose a bra with pretty straps or skinny straps though. &nbsp;</p> <p>For an interview I would probably cover it with a jacket though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393115 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 19:43:39 +0000 shemarie 1393115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really love the look of these type of tops, and as an IT, think they somehow "lighten up" my shoulder line, if the fit is right.&nbsp; They also work for my climate, so I have several, in&nbsp;blouses, knit tops, and&nbsp;sweaters.&nbsp; &nbsp;I agree w/others that I'm often surprised how a nude strap disappears or doesn't show enough to notice.&nbsp; Otherwise, I do wear a tank or cover with a jacket, which for a conservative workplace or interview situation I'm sure would be required.&nbsp; I also think they look great under blazers as they give a bit of visual interest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393097 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 19:06:14 +0000 kkards 1393097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you are planning to wear this under a jacket, then there should be no worries, the jacket would cover any straps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393086 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:51:42 +0000 cjh 1393086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also worn nude bras with sheer-shouldered tops and they don't show enough to bother me. I'd keep it if I were you, but save it for non-interview occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393078 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:39:42 +0000 Greyscale 1393078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on a top like that and my nude-color bra actually didn't show. I was surprised. But the top I tried was black - that might not work with white.</p> <p>The shift to visible bra straps and more recently visible bras (among college-age people)&nbsp;is something I can't really get used to but I never know if I'm being too stuffy or just being age-appropriate. But for an interview, of course, you probably want to be at your most cautious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393071 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 18:32:18 +0000 columbine(erin) 1393071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try a cami or tank or clear bra straps, but I can't help thinking this sort of top would look best without straps visible. Hopefully someone else has a better idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sheer-inserts-and-bra-straps#post-1393037 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 17:43:59 +0000 Mander 1393037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After last week's interview outfit panic I have set out on a mission to buy a blouse or two that is not knit and will go with my striped jacket.&nbsp; I've seen a couple of tops that I like the look of but they have those funky sheer mesh inserts on the top.</p> <p>I don't mind the look but I don't know what to do about bra straps. Strapless is probably not going to happen, since I have never in my life managed to find a decent strapless bra. Certainly not one that I would trust to stay in place for a job interview!</p> <p>How are you meant to wear this kind of top? With a tank top to cover the bra straps, perhaps? </p>
