Going Braless? Here's What You Need To Know

Going braless can feel liberating. Whether you're working from home, running errands, or attending a formal event, nixing constricting undergarments is a fashion freedom like no other. And from a styling perspective, you get added benefits. Perhaps, for example, you've opted for a strapless top, plunging neckline, or backless design. Going braless means you can avoid straps, clasps, or underwire lining that can affect the visual impact of your look. But you may have large breasts and feel more comfortable with support. Or you might be small chested and rely on bras for lift. In either scenario, ditching a bra is easier said than done. Some people, meanwhile, might simply be unsure about forgoing the undergarment altogether.

We're here to dig into the realities of wearing (or not wearing) a bra. We spoke to Eleonora Teplinsky, MD, a breast and gynecology medical oncologist, who revealed whether there's a connection between bras and breast cancer or other physiological risks. Teplinsky also debunked myths surrounding going braless and sagging. She recommended, first and foremost, to talk to your doctor about any specific concerns you may have.

Stephanie Montes, fashion and beauty editor and Nue founder, also weighed in on the "free the nipple" movement, offering styling advice for those who want to try going braless but would rather not be completely bare underneath their clothing. (And she would know - Nue products regularly sell out on Revolve.)

Ahead, learn why we wear bras in the first place, read tips for constructing an outfit without one, and brush up on all things braless.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
