Faux Pas: The Bermuda Triangle

May 3, 2011

The vintage styles of the 1940s are everywhere.  Front high waisted pants to tie neck blouses to mid-length skirts, everything old is new again.  Unfortunately, the triangle bra, popular on the lingerie of the early-20th Century, is also having a comeback.

As a lingerie piece for intimate occasions, I love a sheer triangle bra.  It’s sexy and relaxed.  You could even layer the bra at left over a black demi-cup for a little something extra under a v-neck tee or tank top.  But sadly, women are not leaving the triangle bras in the bedroom.

I don’t care if you are an A-cup or a DD, this bra is doing you no favors.  Under clothes, a triangle bra looks like you’re wearing no bra at all.  It provides no support, and no shape.  

And, dammit, I need lift!  You need lift!  For the love of God, lift them up!

It doesn’t matter if it is VPL or droopy breasts, nothing ruins the look of a blouse or a dress faster than terrible undergarments.  This bra belongs in the bedroom and nowhere else.  So if ou’ve embraces this trend, it’s time to re-examine your lingerie choices.

Your breasts deserve to be lifted and separated, not saggy and shapeless.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
