Bra Style Blouses: A Rage in 2017
Bras are no taboo any more. Gone are the days when they were discussed in whispers and relegated to the darkest corners of your closet. No womenwear is complete without a bra. And, for ages we have willingly or unwillingly treated it more as a “shamefully clandestine essential” rather than a “joyous celebration of femininity”.
Secrets no more
With the passage of time any way- they have found their rightful place in the female wardrobe. While some of us are habitually secretive about our lingerie “exploits”, there are world renowned designers touting 2017 as the “year of bra”. Flaunt your bra tops and bra style blouses at party scenes and social dos like you have never done before.

For bra style blouses to make the cut as a more accepted wardrobe inclusion, it was important for the wearers and designers to ensure that these pieces looked more like seamless additions to the ensemble rather than something too edgy or too bold for someone’s liking.
