Ha, I was about to link that photo. Yeah, it does make you do a double-take. I would prefer red so there would be less thinking about underpants.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Halle did this thing one time with beaded straps, and I think it looked pretty.
But I spent my early twenties flashing bra straps left right and centre, so I'm obviously an underwear hootchie.

Bra straps are extremely mainstream now (on my college campus). Strappy camisole over thin-strapped bra doesn't even merit my notice anymore.
I am also stunned by how many women tan.

I once saw a girl wearing a black racerback tank with a plain white bra, just as basic as can be. As much as I don't like it, I can sort of wrap my mind around showing a pretty bra, but just wearing a random bra, ugh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not about underwear, but this made me happy: [link]

I like that visible bra straps are getting to be no big deal. Makes me feel better about mine, which I don't try to show off, but they do fall out from under anything sleeveless.
I think I remember the surprisingly classy Halle thong. It's hard to pull off. Gillian Anderson, I think, also managed. I kind of like the thong strings visible above the low-cut jeans look, though. Probably the hooker-chic of my youth messed up fashion sense beyond repair.
The illusion of nudity Venus has going on, I don't know, it's troubling, but I feel like maybe it should not be troubling and I should just try harder to get over it.

Because books.
I still get weirded out if my bra straps show accidentally. And when I see cute spaghetti strap tops, I always think about how I'd need to wear a tank top under it.

I heartily disapprove of visible thongs under jeans. Just, no. Also, if your pants are thinnish and light colored, for the love of god, do not wear hot pink or orange thongs. I don't need to know that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Also, I think thongs are evil. Given the choice I'd vote commando. But I know lots of people wear thongs. Even people I respect!
My twin sister usually wears a thong all the time. I tried one...once.

You're right-Gillian Anderson did do it well too.
I don't wear pretty bras anymore, so there's no flashing temptation. I don't like the look where the bra strap is wider than the strap of the top, even if it is transparent. My visible straps were wide necked tops. I'm undecided on dark bras under light tops. I feel it shouldn't bother me, but I judge.
