Bra Straps Designed To Be Seen

With off the shoulder tops being everywhere this season we've been loving a reason to show our arms and décolletage in the sunshine.

While bare shoulders look beautiful, these dresses and tops with trickier necklines can make underwear a nightmare, and going braless isn't an option for some fuller-busted ladies. Instead of searching high and low for a well fitted, supportive strapless bra we've been embracing the visible bra strap - interesting details and contrasting colours can be a great way to complete an outfit.

We've included some of our favourite pairings below to inspire you for the rest of summer...

This shirting inspired top by Caroline Constas would look gorgeous against the delicate lilac lace from our Corinne range. Tie your hair in a chic top knot to show this combination off to best effect. 

Pink and black is a match made in heaven - we would know! Our beautiful Tamia bra would match perfectly with this Peter Pilotto top. Pair with skintight black jeans for the ultimate date-night look. 

This Apiece Apart dress with a bouncy frill top and fluted sleeve would be great combined with the dainty strap detail of Miline. We'd wear this with a leather belt and gladiator sandals for a day of sightseeing on a city break. 

For the ultimate evening look we love this minimalist scuba dress from The Row. We'd team this with the Odile set - as the leather will sit smoothly under the material and the high sitting lace will perfectly peek over the top.
