I’d been wanting to buy a black lace t-shirt for forever, and I finally found one last week. The trend has been around for while, and I thought it would be really sexy for summer.
I got home and was gonna wear it out the other night, but when I looked in the mirror, I felt a little slutty.
I was wearing it with a black bra underneath, and it just felt more like lingerie than like a shirt. I mean, it looked hot on me, but I knew it was gonna cause some major flirtation later in the night. I said screw it, and wore it anyways, but I did get a lot of comments, and not all of them were wanted.
Have you worn this trend? What do you think?

I wouldn’t wear it…cause it wouldnt look good on me
guest
I actually have a lot of lace, just because I absolutely love it.. but no matter how good a black lace t-shirt with a bra underneath.. I wouldn’t wear it, because yes, it is sexy.. but it is also, to me, trashy. I don’t know if it’s just my morals creating this opinion or what, but I do know that if I wasn’t me, I would wear it in a heartbeat if I didn’t care. I always wear a black cami under my lace shirts.. it’s kind of depressing to waste such a good lace shirt out like that, but I’m glad you did and I wish I had the balls to!
guest
I love lace, but wearing just a bra is a little slutty to me. It’s not lingerie!
I wear them with tank tops underneath, problem solved!
guest
it looks a little slutty.
guest
ive worn something like this, not that opened though!
people at clubs wear them how you wore it i wouldnt wear them to go out and eat though its too much to me. I prefer a bit of lace here and there but not the whole thing.

I think they’re tacky looking honestly. Like… I love lacy things so this isn’t like a “Ugh Im fat and cant wear it so Ima put it down for everyone!” but just a it doesn’t look nice thing.
Wow that sentence is effed up. But I’m leaving it! lol
guest
That look would be quite difficult to pull off without looking like a prostitute.

It depends. I’ve seen shirts that are half-lace or something like that. Then I don’t find it slutty.
guest
Just wear it with a camisole underneath.
i would definitely wear it like that. if i can pull it off though LOL
guest
Put a nude tank underneath, it will have a similar look without the sluttyness.

Wear a Cami or tank top undernearth! That’s what I do.

I love lace tops. But I probably wouldn’t wear one out unless I had a cami underneath, not because other girls would think I’m slutty, but because other guys would think I’m slutty, which means lots of unwelcome advances. Personally I really like the look of just the lace top with a bra underneath and it would be great to show off (sort of) my tattoos, but honestly guys would probably assume I’m a ho.
guest
I wear that to the club
guest
It depends on how you wear it.

Neither. It’s classy, to me at least. They look better with a cami underneath though. I own a black and a white one, kind of sheer like the model is wearing and I love them.
guest
wear a tank underneath and you’ll be fine

with just a bra? slutty.
with a tank top or tube top underneath? cute.
guest
I wore it in the 90s. When I was wearing it with just a bra underneath, I was completely aware of how slutty it looked. If I wanted to look less slutty, I wore a cami underneath it. I would never attempt the look now because I am old enough to know better.

yeah i wear it but only clubbing. If its just out daylight yes I think it’s a bit slutty =\
guest
Certain lace tops can be classy. But I don’t like the ones people wear with just a bra underneath. It just seems too much like lingerie to me.
guest
I have a few lace tops and dresses, but I wear tank tops and slips underneath instead of just undies

I like to wear a nude colored cami underneath if I’m going to dinner. But if I’m clubbing, it’ll just be the bra under the top.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable in wearing just a bra underneath. I would wear a black or nude camisole
guest
personally, to me, it looks trashy. I especially feel like I would look slutty in something like that because I have big boobs.
I have a hard time understanding how women go out feeling comfortable like that. But to each their own and if you feel like you can rock it then why not.

I love lace. I think I’d always pair it with a tank (or at least a bandeau) though. Personal preference, I don’t think you always look slutty with just a bra on. Depends on how it’s done!

I have a few lace shirts and I love them. I have never considered wearing them with just a bra underneath though. That takes it from sexy to trashy. Just wear a tank top underneath it or a bandeau. Bras are supposed to be kind of intimate and if you let everyone see them, you’re of course going to get unwanted comments because people are going to think you’re easy and down for anything. At least that would be what I think haha.
guest
I love lace! Like a bunch of people have already said, wear a cami underneath, and then it’ll be sexy.
guest
a bandeau much more sexy but just a bra a lot more slutty. I love Lace. I love the shirts and the dresses. I have a couple and in need of a black knee height lace dress.
And that girl in pic above in the article is pulling it off very nicely
guest
The ensemble in the photo looks a little too coquettish for my taste… But I did recently wear a lace top with a bandeau bra beneath and tucked it into a high waisted skirt. Just a little midriff skin showed through and I thought it was a good solution..
guest
i wear lace and fishnets all the time and i’ve never not worn a shirt over or under it. i think its a strange fashion craze, but [lets be real now] since fat people can’t pull it off, its not going to last long. good for you that you tried it.
guest
Definitely wear it with a black tank top. It looks kind of tasteless with just a bra underneath.

Super sexy outside the bedroom IS slutty. So both?

It looks slutty when all you wear under it is a bra. A cami or tank top goes a long way in changing that, and instead of being dominated by lace (because that also kind of says “trying too hard to look hot”), it’s just an overtone on regular clothes. Looks effortless and pretty.
guest
I love lace tops but only a small amount of lace. I have a couple of shirts where its just lace on the back and I think that without showing too much skin I can feel sexy…even though I’m too much of a dork to actually where them out in public
guest
not my style. I prefer subtle lace accents and not an entire shirt made of lace.
guest
i think it looks nice, but maybe put something over the bra, like a cropped tank top or a bandeau top. or even wear one of those bras that go further down your waist, if you get what i’m talking about here. also, i almost always think they look better with a skirt or pants or whatever that is high waisted. but that’s just me.

With just a bra under it, yeah that’d look slutty. But there are lots of ways to wear a lacy shirt without showing off your bra. The boys will get the wrong idea.
guest
they look way better if you wear them over a T shirt, and certain types of dresses. the layering gives a sense of depth, intent, and thoughtfulness
just fyi. the sense lace offers is wistful; other worldly. to wear as in that pic is ‘succubus’, still other worldly but perhaps not the right world.
with a bra that clashes with your skin? bad…
with a skin tone shaded bra or tube-top (hides cleavage), they can be really pretty. but also are close enough that you can come across as slutty too. i suggest you use it like lingerie.
guest
Aw. If you knew you were going to get some attention you didn’t entirely want, it would be better to save that kind of thing for when you are wanting that attention, lol. It’s like when women wear low-cut tops then get annoyed for men staring at their chests… it’s going to happen, like it or not.
Anyway, I think it’s sexy and cute if there is more coverage going on… the bra look is hot but I wouldn’t want the attention it brings. I wouldn’t wear the lace top except with a pretty, dark, thin camisole beneath, just to cover a little more torso. Maybe a bit of belly showing is okay, if you wear a smaller camisole, but only a bra beneath is def too much (too little
.
guest
It’s not like that lace is covering anything up. Trashy to me.

i have one & i wore it out with just a bra. to a club. i think it’s fine!
guest
I just wear a tank under my lace
guest
If done right it could be sexy.
guest
i have a black lace top from freepeople that i really like. i wear a tank under it. i’m sure it would attract more attention if it was just a bra or a bandeau under it, but i get (good) comments on it. c: I think a good way to wear it is with a tube top under/over it, tank under/over it, or even a tshirt over it so the sleeves show.
sunflower / 405 posts
I think it only depends on what you wear underneath. Maybe instead of a bra, wear a tank top. Black tank top. And if you get the same kind of comments as before, then it’s the lace.
guest
I love lace, and when I buy those shirts I usually get the ones with the lace in the back. I think the whole shirt as lace is a bit risqué but I’t also depends how comfortable you feel and what you like
guest
I think with at least a tank top underneath it you might be okay… but just a bra under lace? looks like a prostitute.
sunflower / 432 posts
I’ve never even seen people wearing lace tops out anywhere.I think it looks slutty with just a bra underneath.I think they’re ugly regardless. :/
guest
Please don’t anyone take this the wrong way.. but I just don’t like it when someone who is clearly not the right shape/size tries to wear this kind of thing. I have a friend that I fucking love to pieces and she’s gorgeous, but she is not very thin and insists on wearing this. It’s just very unflattering. God, I hope nobody tears me a new one for saying that.
I have no idea what they’re called or anything, but I have a little stretchy bra/tank type thing that is just like a tube top, but thinner. I have a few different colours and wear them under sheer/see through tops instead of camisoles or tank tops. Something like that would be good. Bra only can work in some situations/on some people, I don’t think it’s slutty.
guest
I think it’s slutty to wear just a bra under it. If you wear a cami or something, then it’s sexy. I’m just saying…it’s basically like wearing a fishnet shirt with nothing underneath. It looks like you’re hardcore trolling for strange.
guest
i think that they can be cute on the right body and paired with the right top underneath. if you’re going to a club then sure a bra might be fine if you feel completely comfortable. but i think that when you look in the mirror and feel even the slightest bit skanky its probably a good idea to throw an electric colored tank-top underneath the lace and over the bra. clothing is only hot when you feel hot in it, and skanky when you feel like a skank. its as much about the clothes as your attitude while wearing them.
guest
Slutty.

Or wear a black cami underneath the lace tops! I wear camis if the shirt is too see through. Honestly, I couldn’t just wear it with my bra showing. It really does remind me of how my mother dresses and it is quite trashy too.
guest
You honestly considered going out in that? I’d be surprised if there weren’t places that would nail you for public indecency in something like that.
(For the record, the top in that picture is really cute…but PLEASE wear a cami or something under it!)
guest
To a sexy club, fine… to dinner, cami under…
I have seen an older women wear a red one to my husbands, parents, church when i was a teen… all she had was a black bra under… lol can you guess how many men got smacked in the back of the head for even slightly breathing in her direction? lol.
guest
i think it’s a little trashy to wear with just a bra. i use a colorful cami and add a pop of color while still being able to see the lace.
guest
I love lace top and don’t care what others say about me when I wear them
guest
maybe a little slutty, but hot as hell, and leaves enough to the imagination
guest
lace shirt with bra underneath = tacky
lace shirt with a cami underneath = cute.
guest
oh goddd i love wearing lace! especially lace shirts. its so girlyyyy
but me being 14 and all i just wear a tank top underneath. still adorable
guest
It really depends on the context. Wearing to school? Slutty. Wearing to a club? Sexy.
guest
I personally love lace, but this look I don’t really like. But then again, I prefer lace on dresses and such (I just bought a dress with purple lining and black lace on top)
guest
Wear a cami underneath instead of just a bra. It wont look as slutty and it still looks cool! =)

To me, it’s not appropriate – but thats my honest opinion. Wear what you want to, but its sending a messege out there that you may not want - especially practically showing your goods. If its like in the picture- your basically going out in just your bra. That amount of clothing is somewhat acceptable for bathing suits, but to walk out into public in a bathing suit is a little weird too unless your on the beach. Its also provoking a lot of negative comments – both of those offended and those who take flirting too far (which the latter is not acceptable, not making the excuse for them.)…so I definately would not be walking anywhere alone at night wearing that, not that I would walk alone at night. Others may find it okay, but to me – its a little on the “slutty” side. *shrugs* that IMO though, do what you will and enjoy your life.
I do agree with others though, a cami or tank would look fantastic underneath. =)
guest
I think it’s really cute with a bandeau. I know it doesn’t cover more than a bra does, but it just feels classier…haha.
guest
With just a bra? Slutty.
guest
It really depends in my opinion. If the woman doesn’t have too much going up there for her, then I don’t think it’d be as “slutty” as the woman who is well endowed. But I say it’s also how you carry yourself, what the occasion is, and what kind of person you are too.

I love these shirts! I’ve worn it underneath a black crop top (which was amazing) and under a see-thru gray shirt (the materials combined weren’t seethru, but created a cool texture).
I don’t really think it’s slutty, but a lot of people do, and a lot of guys will probably hit on you since they can see your bra.

Tank underneath (of a different color if you’d like to play off the lace more). I don’t really think bras should be visible in public…but I’m pretty conservative.
guest
I think it would be okay with a black tank top under it, but just a bra seems slutty to me. But to each their own.
guest
exes wore these in the past. they normally wore an undershirt with it and not just a bra, so yeah its slutty in a way, but who cares? do what you want. I think its hot.
