braless
Without chest support
Braless describes a woman not wearing a bra.
The word typically appears in contexts noting the visible absence—whether as fashion choice, comfort preference, or political statement: She went braless under a thin T-shirt.
The term gained currency during 1960s feminism, when some women rejected bras as symbols of constraint.
