I've struggled with bras my
whole life. I just don't like the shapes, I don't like the wires, I don't like
the materials. They are itchy, they are uncomfortable, they are a big pain in
the bum, if you ask me. But without them it's even worse - just the sound of words 'saggy
boobage' makes my skin crawl. Nah. The ultimate solution to my trouble came in the form of the triangle bra trend. The only trend that I've been embracing since
it first entered the market, the only trend that I'm willing to dedicate my
whole life to. Triangle bras all the way!
⇢ Sporty
triangle bras
The simplest and most common
of the triangle bra tribe is the sporty one. We've all seen them - they are usually
black, white or grey (the on-daily-basis-wearable ones), usually made of soft
material, no fastening at the back, just the old boring pull-over (and get
stuck in it like a tart) type. They're not bad, they’re quite alright - but
they won't sweep you of your feet.
⇢ Lace

Oh, the fanciness of lace
triangle bras! For Love & Lemons is the epitome of lace paradise. Their
bras (or any lace triangle bras for that matter) look like they’ve been spun by hundreds of
little spider fairies. In fact I dare say that DIYing a lace triangle bra yourself
isn’t such a difficult thing to do – there’s a lot of tutorials which I’ve been
wanting to try – one of them being this one for instance. I just wish high
street lingerie shops caught up with the trend faster as there’s definitely a
gap in the market right there!
⇢ CK

Now the fancy shmancy
alternative to the comfort of sporty triangle bras with the aesthetics of the
lace ones are Calvin Klein triangle bras (ideally with matching knickers!).
There’s an element of 1990’s boyish sexiness to them which looks damn stunning
when paired with boyfriend jeans and a crisp white shirt or a tee. As you can
see I’ve become somewhat of a collector of triangle bras (but they are so comfy
– no wires no trouble, right?). My most
recent addition is the grey CK bra from House of Fraser (they are sometimes
hard to get your hands on and people sell them ridiculously overpriced on
platforms such as Depop and E-Bay – so browse their range of bras!).
How do you feel about the triangle
bra trend?
Do you find it flattering or too
much nip revealing?
