The liberation and confidence of going braless

Hello everyone!

For decades, bras have been considered an essential undergarment for women, offering support, comfort, and coverage. However, the past few years have witnessed a growing movement of women boldly embracing the freedom and relaxation of going braless.

This trend has emerged as a statement of liberation, disregarding norms and patriarchal expectations. While also challenging the notion that women's bodies should adhere to preconceived ideals. In this blog post, I will explore how and why going braless can empower and boost confidence.


One of the most significant advantages of going braless is the level of comfort it brings. Being free from the constraints of underwires, clasps, and straps, women find themselves physically liberated. Bralessness allows for increased blood circulation and overall comfort throughout the day. Furthermore, embracing one's natural body shape and accepting its beauty, free from the artificial enhancements of padded bras, can contribute to a sense of body acceptance and positivity.


Choosing to go braless epitomises a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. It defies the societal pressure to conform to certain beauty standards that dictate how women's breasts should look. By challenging the notion that breasts need to be lifted, pushed up, or contained, women are breaking free from the idea that they exist to cater to others' expectations. Going braless allows women to exercise their right to control how they present and feel about their own bodies, irrespective of societal norms.


Let's not overlook the practicality of going braless. Bras, particularly those of high quality, can be quite expensive. By opting to go braless, women can save a significant amount of money that would otherwise be spent on purchasing bras. Additionally, the environmental impact of reducing the demand for bras, with their extensive fabric and production process, cannot be dismissed. Embracing a braless lifestyle aligns with the growing global movement towards sustainable living.


The braless movement champions the idea that women's bodies shouldn't be objectified or sexualised. Instead, it emphasises body positivity, self-love, and acceptance. By choosing to go braless, women are embracing their bodies in their natural state, rejecting the concept that femininity is defined solely by the appearance of breasts. This movement encourages women to love and accept their bodies as they are and stand against societal pressures to constantly strive for unattainable ideals of beauty.


While the notion of going braless may be met with criticism or concerns about support and comfort, it is essential to remember that every woman's experience is unique. Some may find going braless uncomfortable, while others find immense freedom and comfort. For those who require additional support, alternatives such as bralettes or wireless bras can provide a compromise between freedom and comfort.


Going braless has evolved from a mere fashion trend to a movement that empowers women to take control of their bodies, promote body positivity, and challenge societal norms. It is a statement of liberation from expectations, comfort over conformity, and self-acceptance over forced perfection. Whether a woman decides to go braless all the time or occasionally, it is a personal choice worth exploring, as it allows women to redefine their relationship with their bodies and embrace the inherent beauty of being more natural and authentic. So, let's celebrate this powerful movement and embrace the confidence that comes with living braless.

  1. I fully support people deciding what is good for them and not being held back by rigid/imposed norms. I could not go without a bra as I have a very, very large chest and the look/movement/discomfort would not be good for me personally; I feel more liberated with one but I am all for others going this route.

    1. You are absolutely right. Going braless is not always the most comfortable option.
