I would go for a crotchless bottom, just to balance out the top and mix it up more.
Joking. Anyone should be able to wear whatever they like and it’s not your husband’s business to tell you what to wear, you are not his property.
Just beware if there are young or adolescent kids etc out and about with something too revealing; they might get hungry.

IMO, clothes look better on a woman when she is wearing a bra. Also, when older, going braless ages you 20 years.

I am thin with small breasts. My husband does not care what I do, so that is not part of the equation for me. At work, I always wear a bra. But for running around town, I use a tank top with a shelf "bra"... Like an undershirt. My feminazi (hhaaaaaa Yes She Knows) wants to say f all and don't wear a bra if you don't want to. But truth is if my husband asked me to wear one, I would. Spring is coming, so t-shirts are coming instead of big sweaters for the ever cold. So back to bras for me.
 
I can see your husbands point. For one, I certainly wouldn't want my wife going out in public without one. However, she's 48DD and I think people would notice:wink2:

Nonetheless, I do think they way he stated it was wrong. He should've said he felt it was inappropriate and should've asked you if you don't mind, to please wear one, and then explained his reasoning why.

Bottom line is I think a lot of problems could be prevented if the communication improved and people actually thought a bit before they spoke.
 
What do people think of men going commando, especially on track suits and short shorts.
The same as a woman going braless.

Interesting the split between the women and the men. I haven't seen it often, but I'm of the opinion it's tacky and trashy.

Gives me the impression that they are trying to get attention.

Both actions say, "Look at me!".
 
Thanks everybody. Different views but i needed to hear them
Kate I really don’t think your husband is talking about how you look personally to him.

You caught him off guard. You went from wearing a bra out in public to not. I think if you had always gone with or with out early on it would make a difference now to him. It’s the change that has thrown him off.
 
Or you can have a marriage where you care how your spouse feels about stuff like this and take that into account in your decision making.
With over three decades of marriage in the books, I'm well aware of the need for compromise in a marriage.

Respect begets respect. Disrespect of the kind that calls your spouse 1) disgusting and 2) demands obedience is the kind of action that demands a less forgiving response - if for no other reason than to set proper expectations going forward. Sand pounding is medicinal.

Once the husband agrees to moderate his behavior, then talk about how to compromise can begin.

My 22 year old daughter has never worn a bra. I’ve tried every line of reasoning to convince her to but she refuses. She’s not diagnosed but I believe she falls somewhere on the autism spectrum so there are isssues involved that make our situation unique. It really bothers me to see her like this but she simply does not care what anyone else thinks, her comfort is top priority.

She’s a small B cup and due to genetics it’s obvious at all times that she’s not wearing a bra, even when it’s warm out. I’ve tried explaining that even though she may be comfortable with it it can cause those around her varying levels of discomfort, anywhere from side ways glances to full on embarrassment being around her. She doesn’t seem to understand that it’s not an issue of people being invested in how she looks, it’s an issue of forcing others to be around something they aren’t comfortable with. The way she views life and the world around her is much different so in her mind it’s not a problem.

Good for her.

I'm really not trying to be argumentative, but out of curiosity why should she priorities other people's comfort over her own?
 
My wife goes braless around the house quite often. All for it, the only thing better is when she dangles them in my face :). I'm in favor of the look, she on the other hand always seems to don the bra to go out in public. Draw your own conclusions <g>.

Saying you look disgusting though is , well, disgusting ;).

I think I worry about it because I’m her mom and I don’t want to see my girl in a position where others may put her down for how she chooses to live/be. I just worry about her a lot in general. It doesn’t seem to bother D22 so she’s not changing herself to suit others.

To OP, I hope my posts aren't a thread jack. If people didn’t react the way they do to bralessness life would be a little easier for some of us.
 
@Not ,
I take it your Daughter is not sensory sensitive? One of my autistic friends is. I'm having trouble imagining a sandpaper bra.

Actually she is and that plays a part in it. She’s has definite issues with the textures of not only clothing but with food as well.
 
I rarely share anything personal about myself, but I will divulge that I wear a bra 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to protect my investment. That was the first piece of advice my plastic surgeon gave me after surgery. :wink2:

The ONLY skin holding up your breasts is the skin across the top of your chest. Whether you're 'only' a B cup or not, the weight of your breasts continually pulling down on that skin WILL eventually have a negative affect on that skin and eventually, you'll be able to tuck those babies into the waistband of your pants. Not a pretty sight.

The only time I go out bra-less is in a halter type top that's meant to be worn that way, or at the beach in a bikini. Otherwise, I'm all about protecting my investment.

No accounting for scruples. Everybody should WANT to be able to do whatever they and everybody else please?
First off I will say that I also think a woman going out in public braless is indeed tacky; unless she is doing it for affect... such as when she wears a spaghetti-strap party dress or something like that where wearing a bra is just not feasible. But those are special cases.

Having said that, I do not think your husband meant it was YOU who he found disgusting. He, like many people, just thinks a woman going braless in public is inappropriate. I think in this instance he just didn't think before he shot his mouth off. He could have worded it better. Cut him some slack...he didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

In fact I would go further in saying that because your husband loves you and cherishes you, he doesn't want you to do anything untoward that would cause you to look cheap or lacking in propriety. He's proud of you, and wants to protect your reputation, even if it means saving you from your own poor choices at times. He's your husband...it's his job to jerk your leash once in a while, as it is your job to point out when he is being an idiot and to keep him in line too. That is what married people who love each other do.

You're a married woman, which means sometimes you have to weigh your personal "freedom" against keeping harmony in your marriage. Wearing a bra in public, in my opinion, is a very small sacrifice to keep your husband calm and happy. And to keep you from looking like a cheap ho....
