Bra Straps as a Fashion Statement

We know I need to get out more, but all summer and last year, too, I have observed hordes of otherwise attractive young women exhibiting their bra straps underneath thinner spaghetti strap tops. This is not an attractive display, and one who grew up when women were gleefully burning bras, wonders why they can't a) forego the bra or b) buy one of those all in one camisoles with the built in bra.

Speaking of camisoles, we've had a long hot summer and a few weeks ago I noticed the dress code at work (which is actually very liberal) was being flaunted with spaghetti straps and belly baring slacks. Sure enough, last week the email edict went out reminding the work force, but really the young ladies (why is it always young ladies?) of the corporate "business casual" dress code. Young ladies, or rather girls and women, have nice shoulders and belly buttons and want to display them. But not at work. And no bra straps please. Looks so tacky. And in your face. And so on. Leave your bras at home, girls.
