Going Braless: Living My Best Life, Embracing My Comfort and Defying Societal Norms

In the Beginning

That first time I went out without a bra is unforgettable. It was an entire vibe! I felt like I breached a secret rule that had been influencing my mood and comfort for years. As long as I can remember wearing a bra was just part of the daily routine, like brushing your teeth or doing your hair. To be honest, questioning this habit and leaning into what feels good for us is one of the most empowering things we can do for ourselves.
Braless is more than just throwing out clothes, you know? A entire feeling. Owning my vibe and being myself is key for me. Instead than following what others say I should do, it’s empowering to take back my body and make decisions that feel good. 
In 2019 I was approached by @NoBraDay2019 (Now @NoBraday2024) on Twitter.  I love their mission  promoting freedom, ending shaming of women bodies and stigma of bare breasts. #setthemfree was a favorite of mine.

Finding Comfort My Way

I thought I wore a bra for support before going braless. They do lift you physically. In retrospect, as much as I move my lingerie, I was merely wearing a bra out of habit, and it felt like I had to. Society taught me that “proper” women should cover their natural shapes in clothes. Getting braless completely changed that vibe.
Not wearing a bra is like breaking out of a box I didn’t know I was in. I realized I was preferring my comfort zone. Instead of worrying about how people saw my physique, I focused on how it felt. I started to feel delight from living my best life without strings. Feeling the material of my tops directly on my skin was a wonderful sensation, and yes my nipples were visible at times. 

Facing Haters and Leveling Up

I realized that by discarding the bra, I was not only feeling more true in my body but also calling out others’ judgments. Sometimes such side-eyes or unexpected comments are hard to overlook. Every side-eye and low-key criticism strengthens my choice. I’m living my life on my own terms, not following others’ rules.
Babe, going braless is all about me. My body, choices, and comfort are not for others to judge. Being comfortable with not fitting into society’s gender roles is powerful. Instead of being ourselves, we’re pressured to fit into these boxes and please others.
I’ve understood that other people’s opinions are theirs to worry about, not mine.  Like my one graphic top proclaims, “If you see nipples under my T-Shirt, it’s because I have got them.”  

Owning My Vibe

Choosing what feels right to me, regardless of norms or “normal,” is liberating. It’s all about authenticity. I feel more myself without a bra than with one. It’s strange, but this simple change has completely impacted how I feel in other areas of my life. By putting my vibe above expectations, I’ve started to infuse it into my style, phrases, and self-image.
My daily vibe check is not wearing a bra, reminding me to live my way. Knowing I can—and should—put my needs first has made me feel more self-respectful. In addition to fit, this is about flexing my actual self and owning who I am without apology.
I discovered a group of ladies that share my passion for living a braless life, which was unexpected. Some of them were already on this road when I arrived, while others are just starting out, feeling apprehensive like I did.
Listening to their stories, feeling their experiences, and seeing this community develop has empowered me. The developing sense of freedom and self-love empowers me, and I’m here for it!
More women are choosing comfort and independence above traditional conventions and murdering it with gusto. This community is a vibe check, reminding us we’re all in this together, no cap. Every anecdote reminds me that comfort is a community celebration, not simply a personal vibe. We’re changing the script one day and attitude at a time.

My Feeling, Decision

Going braless in public is about comfort and body positivity, not simply for Social Media.  Avoiding obsolete social conventions and focusing on what resonates with me is key. Every day I ditch the bra, I feel empowered and free to be myself.
Do I still wear bras? Hellz yes. I wear them as part of my fashion not as a foundation.  Of course, I wear sports bras too.  I have some beautiful lingerie and want peopel to see it. SO when I can work a bra into my outfit, you will know it.    
Choice is everything—that’s true freedom.  Although, It may seem insignificant, but going braless has been one of my most liberating decisions. Cheers to vibing our way, choosing what feels right, and ruling our area like queens.
