The Hollywood Bra Debate

It's come to our attention lately that a new unforeseen trend has emerged out of Hollywood.... Celebrities have some how decided that bras are just unnecessary "accessories" that should be avoided all together. We've seen it on the red carpet with Anne Hathaway...

But now this horrific sight has translated into an everyday "a-okay" thing to do. We, on the other hand, do not agree. Note, Miley Cyrus (Disney star is all we can think when we hear her name) has taken on this "bye-bye-bra" trend, among others from the young Hollywood set, such as Rihanna and Victoria Secret model and fiancé to Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo. Honestly, Prinsloo has no excuse, yes the woman may have a stunning body, but imagine the amount of bras she must be hoarding as an Angel? 

Miley Cyrus - Just don't.

How could we forget this one? Rihanna

Behati Prinsloo
Woman, you've got more bras than a department store... put one on!

Ladies, it's ok to want to let the girls roam free if you will, but, if you're planning to do so atleast throw on a pair of Nippies and tame the darts. Meanwhile we're big believers in diminishing VPL and VBL, nipping is also frowned upon. The Nüdwear Nippies allow you to have the comfort of being braless meanwhile hiding the evidence! Keep it under control. There's a time and a place.... for everything.

THE CITY SET: Top Tips on Beating the Summer Heat

Setting our sights on the fast pace fashionable cities of the world, we take a look at what the do's and don'ts of New York, London and Dubai's fashion set are. These women set stride looking poised, polished, and spot on trend in the dead summer heat - How do they do it? 

Let's find out...

"I got a haircut that put in a few more layers into my long hair to make it feel lighter (and slightly cooler), but allowed me to still keep my hair long. "

Fong Wa Chung

Investment Banker, NYC

"With the humidity and heat during NY summers you can rarely have a good hair day. One way to turn the messy frizz into a fun look is putting leave in conditioner in your locks for a "surf babe do"!

The key is to wear airy and loose fabrics that won't show sweat marks or wrinkle, plus a slightly more relaxed fit tends to make one look slimmer. Linen and lycra based pieces tend to work great!

For the face, blotting sheets keep the shine at bay. Extra layers of powder just give a cakey look which looks extra heavy with the heat. Less is more when it comes to a fresh face in the summer."

Olga Baczynska

Investor Relations, NYC

"I walk a lot in the summer so try to always carry a bottle of water with me, I up the daily sunscreen factor to 50+ (am a big fan of La Roche Posays liquid sunscreen, which feels like water) and I wear a hat to keep the sun off my face. I also stick to open toed shoes, light colored and thin cotton or linen fabrics, and wear extra light lingerie by Nudwear to keep me cool and VPL free!"

Astrid Montalta

Entrepreneur, Dubai

"Four tips get me through my summers in London... I carry a bottle of sparking water with with me wherever I go - a refreshing and nice alternative to drink, rather than tap/still water. I wear a bright lipstick in the evening as it detracts from the sweat on my face. I carry Dyptique solid perfume with me it's small and smells great! I always carry 2 pairs of shoes with me (flats + high heels) so I am never caught off-guard. My favourite trick is to wear long earrings to take attention away from my sweaty face, alternatively I opt for large statement necklaces."

Marketing Officer, London

Weekend DIY: Embellished Denim Shorts

The ultimate summer staple, cut off denim shorts have yet to disappear from the summer style roster. This year, give your favorite pair a mini make-over. With a few fabric scraps and embellishments, you'll take your cut-offs from zero to hero.

What you'll need:

Sequin ribbon

Lace ribbon

{any scrap fabric you want to use}

super glue bonding

scissors

The process is just as simple as the photographs. Chose your fabrics, cut them according to the width of the back pocket {we suggest only embellishing one pocket for interest and contrast} and glue one strip at a time.  Last but certainly not least, slip on a sleek and sexy pair of Nüdwear boyshorts underneath, and add a solid colour tank or tee, finish your look with ankle booties for festival style!

THE BEAUTY EDIT: The Nüd-team's Summer Must Haves.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

With the official start of summer comes a whole new beauty routine that requires less effort and more practicality; The Nüd-team's must-have summer essentials equip you to go from the pool to out to dinner seamlessly. Keep looking glam all day long this summer with our top picks:

____________________________________

1. A Cream Blush - 

With the summer heat, we know how hard it is to keep makeup in place. Skip the powder and opt for something creamy and luxe that will give your skin a good glow.

2. Moroccan Oil - 

Revive pool-damaged hair with this rich oil serum that will help you beat the humidity and keep your locks tamed. Bonus: it's good for your skin as well, so rub the left over on dry spots for an extra boost of moisture.

3. Nippies - 

Whether poolside or headed out in a light and breezy top or dress, Nippies are better than bandaids!

4. SPF 70 - 

Keep your precious skin protected with a 70 proof face lotion that doesn't weigh heavy on your skin.

5. Water-proof Mascara - 

Look glamorous by the pool and avoid the racoon eyes from mascara that won't hold up. A voluminous water-proof mascara can go from pool to pleasure in a snap!

6. Bra Converter Clip - 

Wear racer-back tanks and dresses this summer and avoid the problems of having your bra straps revealed. Simply slip on our 1-2 step clip for comfort and effortless style.

7. Rosebud Salve - 

Last but not least, a glossy lip finishes off your summer style. Keep your kisser moisturized and protected from the sun to ensure luscious lips all summer long.
