Poll question: Is it 'slutty' for a woman to wear a dark bra and a light shirt?
My wife and I are having this discussion (read argument).

I don't think it's slutty at all, maybe just a little flirtatious. She says "Well women talk, and it's slutty."

G-string showing with low cut jeans is kinda slutty in my book, but black bra with a white t-shirt. Naw.

Your thoughts?

1. Depends.
If you're wearing to a funeral, yes. If you're wearing it to a club, no.

4. sluttly is in the eye of the beholder
I never really understood the attitude that there is some sort of default "fashion" that the human race must mold itself to...

5. Not slutty in my book.
I find it a rather sexy thing for a woman to do.

7. Bad taste
But slutty? I don't think I'd call it that.

A definite Glamor Magazine "NOT" though. :)

20. Oh, definitely NOT
Because the models in Glamour wear their necklines down to their navels . . . Different stroke entirely!

8. Depends on the rest of the outfit.
A dark bra under a light blouse is a look. Done right it doesn't have to look slutty.

9. Nah -- dark bra, light shirt isn't slutty
Dark bra, NO shirt -- now THAT'S slutty!!
John
And I say "slutty" looks good on some gals.
BTW -- Polly says "not slutty...but it just doesn't look good." So there you have it.

28. you won't get flamed by me
I think it's unfair that guys get to run around with their shirts off and women can't when women's chests are prettier to look at anyway.

13. Compromise.
No bra and a white t-shirt can work wonders, AFAIAC.

If women are gonna talk, might as well give them something to talk about.

Looks good if you're under 30.

16. I think there's a whole lot of slutty looks out there
The bra straps showing, the bra showing through the shirt - I'm sorry but it's not a classy look. It's just slutty.

Women have to decide if they want to strut their goods out on the street or buy that very special sexy stuff for display in a private place.

I think some are confused about the time and place for such fashions.

21. "I think some are confused about the time and place for such fashions."
I agree. Like those guys who jog/run without shirts on.

19. If you stand up to give a report at a board meeting
in a light blouse and a dark bra...or no bra...is anyone going to hear your presentation?

Common sense hmmmmm?

Just like you don't wear a formal gown to a backyard barbeque or shorts to a formal dance.

25. Well, the original post
didn't mention a venue. So sure, it would certainly depend on that. I wouldn't wear a bikini to my mother's funeral. But in general? In the "appropriate" place?

22. Brittney Spears might (has?) wear that.
Tacky, slutty, slovenly... oh, gee, choices. But none of them are good.

32. There is nothing wrong with it
If I want to wear a black bra underneath my white shirt I will do it and look damn good in it. I don't do what fashion magazines tell me to do.

33. Count me in for not slutty, just tacky
Smacks almost of ignorance.

Though if it's just a t-shirt, not tacky, nor slutty; just oddly casual, but okay in my book.

But certainly not with a blouse or anything of that ilk.
