The \u201990s normcore revival needs no introduction. It has come in at full speed, infiltrating social media feeds and hip stores, bringing with it mom jeans, Teva sandals and turtlenecks. But there\u2019s one thing it isn\u2019t packing: bras. Yes, it appears we\u2019re all being sold the casual and carefree dream that can only come with donning a set of unbridled nipples. Just ask Bella Hadid.<\/p>\n

Why it\u2019s trending<\/h3>\n

Going braless is nothing new. The concept is as old as women\u2019s liberation. And like most trends, we\u2019ve come full circle \u2014 straight back to our feminist predecessors. The current pushback on the push-up is seen as a political choice. While we want to be comfortable, we also want to make a statement.<\/p>\n

Case in point: #freethenipple, arguably the biggest feminist movement of the past 12 months, which has seen women posing topless on social media to protest sexual objectification and double standards.<\/p>\n

While the campaign had its share of criticism (like the vast majority of the women are thin, white and able-bodied), there\u2019s no denying that the fundamental unfairness in how the world responds to male and female nudity needs to be addressed. After enduring years of double standards, it\u2019s no wonder we\u2019re channeling our inner \u201960s mod-mamas and letting our boobs do the talking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Politics aside, I get the free-and-easy appeal. Spying a braless Kate Hudson in a tank and cut-off Levis on a weekend coffee run is enough to have us all burning our bras like it\u2019s 1968. It looks cool, effortless and nonchalant. Same deal with bra-free aficionado Kate Moss. She might not have worn a bra to her own wedding \u2014 or, you know, to meet the Queen \u2014 but I sure won\u2019t be following suit and rocking up to work without one.<\/p>\n

Pulling it off<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What the trend says, sometimes the body doesn’t agree. Don\u2019t get me wrong, taking off your bra at the end of the day is one of life\u2019s greatest pleasures (up there with a perfectly ripe avocado), but gravity is a cruel mistress. When I was 19, I swanned around nightclubs in dresses with little else under them than a double coat of St Tropez tan. While my 34D is hardly Pam Anderson circa 1993 Baywatch<\/em>, it\u2019s certainly enough to warrant some level of support. Now, at 27 I know donning a backless dress just isn\u2019t my best look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While some of us grab the no-bra lifestyle by the balls, not all of our bodies play along. Whether you\u2019re content with your win in the gene pool lottery, or you\u2019re still coming to terms with packing too much \u2013 or too little \u2013 up top, it\u2019s not a trend that everyone can pull off.<\/p>\n

From a functional point of view, it\u2019s tricky to get away without a bra if you’re bigger than a B cup. Don\u2019t believe me? According to a study by Berlei and the Australian Institute of Sport,<\/em> an unsupported B cup can bounce up to eight centimetres during exercise and a DD cup can bounce up to 19 centimetres. Try those numbers on for size. I don\u2019t know about you, but my dance moves are not unlike a HIIT session. If I\u2019m going out, I\u2019m going all out. And a silk cami dress just won\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
