When you’re wearing a super cute shirt, a pesky bra strap can really be annoying. Fortunately, if you have a couple of bobby pins and a few minutes, you can keep your bra straps in place all day. Read through these bra strap hacks to never deal with your bra straps showing again!

Things You Should Know

  • Slide one pin under your shirt at the base of your bra and place another at the back of your strap to hide them while wearing a spaghetti strap top.
  • Pinch your bra straps together with one hand and connect them with 2 bobby pins in an “X” formation to hide them behind a racerback tank top.
  • Slide your bra straps off your shoulder and hide them under an off-the-shoulder or strapless top. Pin bra straps to the shirt to keep them hidden.

To stop that from happening, grab 2 bobby pins and slide one underneath your shirt at the base of your bra (where the strap meets the cup). Angle it downward so it’s less obvious, then put another bobby pin at the very back of your strap. Try to center this one in the area that the strap meets the clasps to hold your straps secure all day.[1]
    • If you need to, you can add a third bobby pin on top of your shoulder to keep the straps from moving around. However, this bobby pin will be more noticeable than the other 2, so it’s not great for lighter-colored tank tops.[2]
