Trend Review : The Brallete

There are so many ways to wear lingerie this season - but with this post, I've focused in on the brallette.

In real life, I'm well past the sizes hat Victoria's Secret caters for, which pretty much renders a brallete unwearable for me - I've tried a few on and, as cute as they might be, I have zero support and come out feeling like I've gone through a boxing match with my own chest. Not fun. Some girls I know wear a support bra beneath the brallette bra, but to me, that seems like a waste of time and money. Not to mention you'd get really hot and sweaty under all those extra layers. So, functionality wise, this trend gets a Simon Cowell -worthy No from me.

I do like that there's such and abundance in styles, shapes, colours and patterns so that you an hide or display as much as you may want to. There's sexy, girly, sporty styles and all sorts in the middle.

Personally, I really love the back-detailed or high-neckline strappy designs, they're a sexy, edgy way to dress up lower necked or backless outfits.

Then comes the issue of where you can wear them - outside of summer, or your own bedroom, there aren't a lot of places that allow for showing off quite the amount of cleavage needed to make buying a brallette worthwhile. Some people have taken to wearing the brallette outside of their clothing, which can look cool, but to be defeats the entire purpose of a bra - not to mention, it's a style that's already been banned from my campus, among other places.

This trend is pretty much a loss on me, but I know there are some people out there who can pull it off really well and who can wear it without discomfort, and good for you if you're in this category.
