Fashion alert, ladies! Bra straps are NOT in for Spring/Summer 2009!
Some have the misconception that bra straps showing are sexy, but they most certainly are not! This is a major fashion faux pas that most of us are guilty of. With certain stylish tops, your bra straps are just bound to stick out. And you CAN’T go braless! That’s an even bigger no no. So what’s a girl to do? Well, don’t worry, we found a solution for this ultimate fashion crime.
with the ultimate wardrobe accessory,
Bra Barrette.
Be in command of your unruly bra straps with a simple and totally stylish Bra Barrette. This simple little tool is the perfect solution to a long time problem. You don’t have to worry about going out and buying a special bra to wear with your racer back tops of any of the fashion forward tops of the season. Now you can simple slip the Bra Barrette onto any bra straps, and you are all set to go.
Not only is Bra Barrette the easiest solution to showing bra straps, it can also add a bit of bling to your boring old camisole. Get a crystal Bra Barrette to add to any of your tops this summer. It’s like jewelry for your back!
Not only is it totally cute, but it solves more than one problem. If you have a beloved cami that doesn’t have adjustable straps and it doesn’t fit quite right, just hook the Bra Barrette for a perfect fit with no sewing or taking in your straps.
It’s so simple and they have some really fancy ones for special occasions.
Bra Barrettes start at just $4.99 for the basic clear one. Go take a peek at their big selection. They even have some on sale.
I have a couple and I wear the basic clear one the most. I don’t have any racer back bras, so this is a must-have to wear with all my work-out tops.

I’m not sure I agree with the statement. Bras are the most functional type of clothing, and like anything functional it can be aesthetically pleasing. Bra straps only look tacky when you start going to lengths to hide them. I simply match my bra to the top I’m wearing, just treat the strap the same way you would a belt.
Thanks for this post. As soon as I read it, I bought one of the clear ones.
That said, there are times when I wear tops knowing my bra straps will show. I just make sure the bra is cute and a pretty color like red. But there are also times when a “cleaner look” with no bra straps showing is preferable.
