While some believe a bra is a necessary component of women’s attire, many advocate for personal choice, asserting that going braless is perfectly acceptable.
Chloe’s lifestyle choices have faced scrutiny from conservative segments of Filipino society, where she has been labeled a bad influence on her boyfriend due to her non-conventional values and experiences from living in Australia.
The trend of women opting to forgo bras has historical roots, ranging from the bra-burning feminists of the 1970s to modern movements like #freethenipple. Many women today view the decision to go braless as an act of empowerment, embracing comfort and challenging societal norms.
As fashion continues to adapt, especially post-pandemic, the perception of bras is shifting, with many viewing them as optional accessories rather than essentials.
