And for me, this means bra-friendly dresses! No hassle of a strapless or pads or going braless. There are dresses that are both trendy and comfy out there!
It’s dress season! I’ve actually never really been a dress gal. Being petite, it could be that dress lengths were always a little off on me. Or, maybe it’s because I’ve always gravitated more towards shorts and pants. But theoretically, dresses should make the easiest outfits because you only have to think about one piece of clothing!
So as I’m on the hunt to update my wardrobe and increase my dress collection, I’m sharing easy, casual dresses for the summer that you can specifically wear with a normal bra. Strapless bras can be so uncomfortable, I often don’t feel confident enough to go bra-LESS, and nipple pads are also a hassle.
Yes, sometimes a strappy or strapless dress can be fun, but oftentimes I want to throw something on without worrying about the undergarment situation, or lack thereof. So, here are 9 easy, bra-friendly dresses that are still cute and trendy – you’ll be wearing them all summer long.
