Having to wear a bra can be very frustrating during summer, because you oftentimes find yourself wearing shirts and tops with cute designs that show the tacky straps and back clips of your bras.
Bras are also one of the most expensive undergarments, and it can be really costly to keep buying new bras which are designed to suit your different types of shirts, dresses or occasions.
With these three bra hacks, you will not need to buy different types of bras for your summer outfits, as you will learn how to make do with the regular bras you already have and learn how to wear them to make them a little more discreet with your different outfits.
Strapless bras are sometimes very unreliable as they usually do not stay up and require you to constantly pull them up and put them back into place,
The American Threads TikTok account has shared a strapless bra hack that makes use of a regular padded strapped bra.
In the video, the woman removes the one strap on one side of the bra off the bra. She then clips the one strap at the back on the hook on the one side of the bra, extends the strap to run from her back, across her body, and then hooks the other end of the strap a the top hook of the opposite side of her bra.
This creates a barrier beneath her bra which allows it to stay in place and not move down, or constantly need to be lifted to be kept in place.

This bra hack allows you to wear your backless tops with a bra, for regular support without showing the bra at the open back design of your shirt.
Janette has shared a video on TikTok where she unclips the straps of her bra at the back hook of both sides.
She then clips the two loose straps to each other, adjusts them so they are tight, and then puts them over her head so that they are tightly sitting around her neck.
Janette then places her backless shirt over the bra band that is at the bottom of her neck. She also says that if her shirts have a much bigger and much more open back design, she hooks each side of the bra to each side of her shirt with a pin, to create a much more invisible appearance of her bra.

Some summer shirt designs are created in such a way that makes it almost impossible to wear a bra without any parts of it sticking out and looking tacky.
The Style TikTok account has shared a hack on how to create a the appearance of a bra, without wearing one at all.
In the video, there’s a woman who is wearing a backless shirt that has a design that does not allow for her to wear a bra with any straps.
She takes one of her old sports bras or an old padded bra, and removes the inner pads from it.
She then takes double-sided tape, places it on each side of the inner part of the pad, and then places the pads on her breast to create a padded bra appearance under her shirt.
This hack does not give much support, and would probably be best for women who have smaller breasts and wear smaller cup-sized bras.
