Style pick: The No-Bra Blazer

    Rihanna 


    Rita Ora

    Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley

 
    Kendall Jenner

Here is a trend which is slowly on the rise- the no-bra blazer. As an advocate for #freethenipple and just not wearing bras in general, I totally approve! I adore the classy yet sexy aesthetics to the look, and the comfortable appearance it delivers.
Riri never fails to amaze me with her style, and the baggyness of the blazer-dress here definitely makes the outfit even more successful. The choice of black, as Yohji Yamamoto comments, "is modest and arrogant at the same time" and certainly depicts the "lazy and easy" aspect of it through the effect that the blazer was thrown on. However, the tied-up hairstyle, statement necklace and lime green nails really bring out the high-class element to the outfit. Overall, I adore it!

I adore Rosie's take on the look here. The nude/beige coloured suit she has styled here suits and compliments her skin tone beautifully. The subtle gold bodychain also works well here as the colour scheme is maintained throughout. As the blazer itself is quite close-fitting, it compliments her small chest in a delicate manner, contrary to the baggier blazer on Rihanna where her cleavage is more prominent. 

Kendall's braless blazer suit is absolutely stunning. This almost electric sky-blue highlights her sun-kissed skin and pairs beautifully with her silver heels. The fitted suit also accentuates her slender and tall figure and hugs her body beautifully. Like with Rosie, the fitted blazer works here due to her being relatively small-chested. 

However, I am not a fan of Rita's take on the style. This style truthfully is not for everyone and I feel she depicts that in her attempt above. Let's begin with the positives; the colour. I do think this baby-blue colour works for her, and the cut of the shorts is perfect for her slender legs...but! I think perhaps a gentler, less rigid shoulder is what she needs for this style. Also, perhaps a tighter blazer as she is fairly small-chested like Rosie and Kendall. 

This look works so much better than the shorts suit. The blazer emphasises and accentuates her chest in a more flattering manner, due to the tightness around her ribs. 

Always learn from your faux-pas!
