6 Bras With Clear Straps That Give Off That Cool Y2K Aesthetic

The early 2000s was a time of unparalleled fashion chaos. Dresses were worn over pants, ponchos were considered red carpet appropriate, and jeans hung so low they required a bikini wax. But few trends were more absurd, more deranged, or more over-the-top than those which originated in the underwear drawer. Whale tail thongs and disco bras were considered the height of fashion—and more than two decades later, we’re right back where we started.

The most traumatic fads of your teenage years have already reentered the zeitgeist. So it’s about time—overdue, frankly—that jelly bra straps made a comeback of their own. Set your watch to “clear bra strap o’clock,” because the time is now. Bras with clear straps are Y2K by definition, which is what makes them so appealing to our nostalgia-obsessed society. They can act as an accessory, giving your look an authentically 2000s feel, but they’re also just as functional as you remember (read: they practically disappear).

Today's designs come with varying strap styles, which means they’re more versatile than ever. You can still shop the classic transparent shoulder straps, of course, but now intimates brands also sell modern versions, like bras with clear bands and even super comfy, bralette iterations. Ahead, shop the best styles from Intimissimi, Soma, and other trusted bra makers—plus a few top-rated Amazon styles for my Prime girlies.
