I dont know if this is a UK thing but I live in Canada and havent work a bra for about 5 years, I have had zero comments about it and volunteer in a childrens hospital as well as have graduated from my Masters degree. It is not uncommon here for women to not wear a bra. You dont have to wear a bra if you dont want to, and shaming another woman for not wearing one just perpetuates the idea from men that women should wear bras. I dont wear a bra to work either, however I would wear a thick top. If someone said something to me at work or at university for not wearing a bra I would bring it up to HR as sexual harassment. A boss or fellow employee should not comment on a woman's breasts in the workplace, even to say they are being shown too much or the natural shape is offensive and that they should dress differently. To me its like in the 60s when people shamed women for wearing pants and not skirts or dresses. Fashion evolves, it is 2021 women are not being made to wear things that men dont have to anymore. Its actually quite freeing to become comfortable with the natural shape of your body and not feel the societal pressure to hide your body from the world in order to be professional.
I am interested in the cultural difference because no one would be fired here for not wearing a bra, as i said if a comment like this was made it would be brought to HR and the person who commented would be flagged for sexual harassment, the employee would be fine.
I agree you wouldnt go to work wearing a thin top but a bra is not necessary in this day and age. Maybe its just a cultural thing as Canada is quite progressive and liberal

This comment wasnt meant to be hateful, but i am just surprised we are in 2021 and we are still saying women need to wear bras to be taken seriously at work, things have changed. Even alcoholism. If you admit to many companies that you are an alcoholic they will not fire you because it is now seen as a medical issue. Things are changing, for the better if you ask me!
I’m American but have been living in the UK for the past year. If anything I feel like the UK (at least in London) is more progressive than the US and even in the US it would be an HR issue for someone to comment on you not wearing a bra. I think a lot of people see going braless at work as the same as “will I be employed if I have tattoos?” And while I think it’s still ridiculous that people have to ask themselves that, tattoos are a choice and boobs aren’t.

Only thing with it being charity/ uncertain why she would have a shoot like that? I think it’s great she’s doing something for her late father but the hair/make up photo shoot and the way she posed makes me think it’s something in beauty or accessories
Yes you could be right. We will see, all in good time lol.

I think with the announcement on 21st- it’s probably A hair accessories collection or something- as she has recently started wearing them again- very girlie and young
I think it's something to do with charity, I know they raised money when her dad died recently. Looks like her sister and mum are involved.

You don’t have to run a marathon to do a marathon. It’s actually advised not to do one before you race due to the injury risk etc but she should be doing 30-35k runs by this point and then weaning down to shorter distances in the run up to the race to avoid injury. I’m sure she’ll be able to do it with walking some parts but she hasn’t trained properly and she signed up to one before she should.
Is it The London marathon? Surely not. A friend of mine is a keen runner, he's in a local running club. He'd been trying to get in the London marathon for years. It's very hard for people to get a place on the London Marathon first time, even if they are NOT in a running club.
