There’s a difference between a woman who just wants to show off her God-given assets, and a woman who is simply comfortable in her own skin. If you are the latter and your reason for skimping out on cloth is for a) fashion and b) you have succumbed to the intense summer heat, then you are a true fashion girl redefining what the term means. Check out our list of must-haves you ought to have in your closet or purse at all times, with a few tips on what to wear them with.
Tiny lace bra
Beet Root Ripley Rainy Day lace bra, P501, beetroot.ph
Give those tops with wide arm holes, plunging necklines extra oomph by wearing them with a sexy lace bra. Ditch your underwired push-up please, that tiny detail will define the line between tramp and tasteful.
Sports bra
adidas Stellasport Padded Sports Bra, P2295
Bet you didn’t see this one coming. But along with the athleisure trend also comes the sporty hubadera—the lady who can totally rock wearing a stylish sports bra with a bomber jacket and jeans.
Bandeau
H&M 2-pack Bandeau Bras, P499
Your BFF when it comes to wearing mesh and sheer tops.
Seamless underwear
Avon Christa 2-in-2 seamless panty pack set of 2, P598, avonshop.ph
For those white pencil skirts.
Thongs
Topshop Lace Trim Cotton Thong
For those body-hugging trousers. Not to be shown off with low-waist jeans at all costs.
Pasties
bench Body Nipple Tape (Disposable), P169
All you need to rock those unpadded, one-piece swimsuits in the city.
Silicone bra
Etam Silicone bra, SM Aura
If you’re not quite comfortable with just nipple tape and want more coverage, these are tried and tested and can last a night of dancing.
Sticky tape
Hollywood Fashion Tape, P550, Beauty Bar
This is one item we have in our purses (the office, our car…) at all times. You wouldn’t want to show more than what’s already out there so it’s best to use an adhesive to keep everything in place.
BONUS:
Bookstore-bought double sided tape
3M Double sided tape, National Bookstore
If, like some of us, you’re hubad 90% of the week your can of Hollywood fashion tape will not be enough. Our secret? We use the fashion tape for our more delicate pieces, and the 3M double sided tape for daily use. We swear by this adhesive as it makes sure your clothes stick, even when you start sweating.
Remember ladies, a classy hubadera dresses up for herself, not for the viewing pleasure of testosterone-filled men.
