It's funny to think that peek-a-boo bra straps and show-off bras were frowned upon just a few years ago because now a little bra slip is my favorite thing. When you're wearing a gorgeous bralette, you'll want to show it off under shirts. I'll be honest though, it took a while for me to catch on. A combination of being insecure about my less than large chest and the modesty my mother drilled into me stopped me from embracing wearing the underwear as outerwear trend, or at the very least letting a bra strap peek out.
I'm so grateful for the boost of confidence I got around 24, because now my wardrobe is all the more better for it. And those bralettes I used to run from — I love them now. I wear my favorite lacy bralette under a white tee all the time. I've actually gone on a campaign to get my best girlfriend to learn how to show off a bralette. Now, I'm bringing that campaign to you with a round up of the most gorgeous bralettes you'll want to show off under your shirts. These are so gorgeous you may not even want to wear a shirt at all — which is totally your decision to make.
1. A Caged Cutout Bralette For Under A White Tee
Punkiss Caged Black (S-L), $19, Amazon
These edgy criss-cross straps (on the back, too!) would look amazing under a semi-sheer white tee!
2. A Beautiful Bralette You Could So Wear As A Top
Finejo Lace Patchwork Hollow Out Backless Slim Crop Tops (S-XL), $10, Amazon
Because this bralette is so intricate and has more coverage than most, you could easily wear this with your favorite cutoffs for a super cool summer outfit.
3. A Criss-Cross Lace Bralette
Women White Lace Bandage Vest Lingerie Bra Top (S-L), $3, Amazon
How many lace bralettes is too many? Because this eyelash lace and strappy back style is calling my name.
4. A Lacy Caged Bralette For Low Cut Tops
Strappy Lace Bralette (2-5), $33, Amazon
With this bra peeking out, there's nothing wrong with taking your v-neck white tee just a little bit lower.
5. A Triangle Bralette With Lacy Cap Sleeve Details
Eshion Semi Sheer Lingerie Bra Top (S-XL), $5-$7, Amazon
I obviously love the caged straps of this bralette, but I think the unexpected lace cap sleeves are super special, too.
6. An Adjustable Bralette Set You Can Wear Two Ways
2 Pack Caramel Cantina Barely There Lace Strappy Bralette (S-L), $18, Amazon
This set of two bralettes can be worn as traditional triangle bras, or if you feel like showing off a bit, you can attach the center straps and turn them into choker style bralettes, too.
7. A Gorgeous Bustier Bralette
Choies Summer Floral Sheer Eyelash Lace Crop Cami Bra (S-L), $12-$14, Amazon
If subtle is what you want, I don't suggest this bralette — it's a statement top that would look great under a tee or even worn alone.
8. Wear This Sheer Bralette Under Your Loose Tanks

If you have any loose tank tops, layer them over this bralette for a little lacy peek-a-boo style.
