braless

Thân thiện

Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Not wearing a bra: Describes a person, typically a woman, who is not wearing a brassiere (an undergarment designed to support the breasts).
   • Featuring or characterized by uncovered breasts: Describes a state, style, or situation where the breasts are not covered by clothing.

Usage Examples

• Adjective:
  • She felt more comfortable going braless under her loose sweater.
  • The actress made headlines for her braless appearance on the red carpet.
  • The festival had a relaxed, braless vibe among many attendees.

Advanced Usage

• Used as a descriptor for fashion or social statements: The term can imply a choice related to comfort, personal freedom, or a political/feminist statement.
  • Her decision to go braless was seen as an act of bodily autonomy.

Variants and Related Words

• Bralette (noun): A lightweight, often unlined bra, sometimes worn as a fashion top.
• Topless (adjective): Having the chest and breasts entirely uncovered. (Note: While related, "topless" implies complete nudity of the upper torso, whereas "braless" does not necessarily mean the breasts are visibly uncovered by outer clothing.)

Synonyms

• Unbrassiered (adjective, formal/rare): Not wearing a brassiere.
• Bare-breasted (adjective): Having the breasts exposed. (This is a closer synonym to "topless" than to "braless," as it emphasizes visibility.)

Notes on Meaning

• The primary meaning focuses on the absence of the undergarment (a bra), not necessarily the visibility of the breasts. A person can be braless while fully clothed.
• The reference context equates it with "topless," but this is a specific, contextual usage. "Braless" is a broader term; "topless" is a subset of states where one is braless.
