Your bra strap dilemma solved

Filed under: Clothing

Ever since the spaghetti strap tank top made its comeback in the mid-90s, women have faced an almost unsolvable dilemma: what do you do about a bra?

So far, the options haven't been anything to write home about. You could wear a strapless bra and spend the day hitching it up from your torso. Or you could wear a bra and just let the straps show. And if you very ambitious, you could just go without. For a moment, we thought built-in shelf bras would be our salvation, but we soon learned that the shelf bra was even more of a joke than those clear strap bras we told ourselves that no one could see.

If a built-in bra was the obvious answer, someone still needed to figure out a way to add specific cups sizea. Athleta, a hip women's fitness company has risen to the challenge of the skinny strap tank. Its bra cup cami comes in six solid colors and two patterns. Each style is available for cup sizes 32B - 42DD, and while the built-in support might not be enough for a DD jog, it does offer B & C girls the opportunity to do everything from yoga to tennis to grocery shopping without the extra straps or boob squishing shelf bra.
