Over 15 NYFW runways showcased bras in one form or another, so here are the highlights and popular styling tips to note. Both Aknvas and 7 For All Mankind presented colorful triangle bralettes under lace dresses or loose layers and skinny scarves. Meanwhile, Altuzarra, Grace Ling, Vettese, and more decided on balconette bras or bandeaus under outerwear. And Ella Mae had a whimsical mix of pink bras with fallen straps worn under and over tops.
Layering is perhaps the safest way to wear an exposed bra out and about. Consider adding a lace bralette under a low-neck blouse or oversized blazer, a bold padded bra beneath sheer mesh or crocheted materials, or colorful bra straps peeking from tank tops. Regardless of the bra silhouette, padding level, fabric, or color you opt for, you can make it as noticeable or obscure as you want with the help of layers.
