Sometimes, you have to go braless when wearing a halter top. Bras usually offer shaping, support and coverage. However, they can be uncomfortable and look awkward in some scenarios.

How to Wear a Halter Top Without a Bra
-
1. In-Built Support
Go for halter tops with breast cups or in-built bras that you can comfortably wear braless. They are convenient, super cute, and ideal for those who hate wearing bras. Most of them feature elastic shelf bras.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
Besides, they offer a perfect fit for different breast sizes.

2. Thick Fabric
Halter tops made of thick materials would be ideal for wearing without a bra. Avoid those with thin and sheer materials as they tend to show your breasts and nipples silhouette especially if it’s light-colored.

3. Sew in bra cups into the halter top
You can sew lining or bra cups into your halter top if you know how to use thread and needle. You can either buy a new bra or use an old one. If you can’t sew, take it to a seamstress, ideally one dealing with wedding gowns.

4. Halter Tops with lining
You can easily get away with not wearing a bra if your halter top is lined. The lining will keep your nipples discreet depending on the how heavy or light it is. A double-layered fabric makes all the difference either way.
-
5. Breast Petals
These are stickers usually placed on the nipples. They help prevent the nipples from protruding underneath the top.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
However, they provide very little support, are not reusable and are not ideal under thin fabric.

6. Tube Top or Bandeau
A tube top or bandeau is a strapless bra without hooks. It can either be unpadded, padded or come with a removable pad. Most of them are seamless and, hence, perfect to wear even under thin materials.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
Bandeaus are super comfortable and lightweight. Some come with removable straps for additional breast support.
-
7. Body Shaper
A body shaper provides ultimate breast support while smoothing out the bulges around the torso. Body shapers are available in different styles and shapes. In this case, a halter body shaper would be a great option.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
Body shapers are easy to wear and remove since most feature a snap closure on the crotch.
-
8. Adhesive Bra
If you don’t like wearing regular bras, then this is your best bet. They work well for all breast sizes and shapes and are reusable unlike nipple pasties.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
Adhesive bras are easy to clean, considerably comfortable and offer breast support.
-
9. Fashion Tapes
You can tape your breasts to cover the nipples or provide lift and support.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
This is not a great option for everyday wear but for special occasions only since it’s quite uncomfortable and bothersome.
-
10. Halter Bralette
Halter bralettes with thin straps works perfectly well under halter tops with wider ones. These bralettes provide a considerable amount of breast support while keeping you comfortable perfect for all cup sizes.
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
You can always go braless while keeping your nipples discreet with the options above especially for those with bigger breasts. However, avoid thin, form-fitting and light-colored halter tops.
