When I was in high school, late 70's, girls didn't wear bras all the time. "Burn the bras" was still fresh in our collective minds and we frequently went without. Also, the bras at the time were either super constructed (Mom bras we called them) or they were simple triangular pieces of material that sort of offered support and shaping but never hid nipple show through. Nipple show through was normal for us. Boys would joke about high beams and the girls would roll their eyes and tell them to grow up.
But today, nipple show through is like a huge fashion faux pas. Bras are super duper constructed with wires and padding and shaping enough to make an A cup look like a C cup.
Granted, today's bras are much prettier than the bras we had to choose from back in high school but have we allowed Victoria's Construction to shape our acceptance of our bodies? In the process of constructing pretty bras that do wonderous things to our décolletage our nipples have become the unspeakable; never to be seen, hidden at all costs. Not even in a bathing suit should nipples show through.
What do you think? Why is nipple show through such a fashion disaster?
