Pretty much this. Doesn't have to be braless, just any situation that affords me a view of cleavage, or an outfit that shows off size and shape. For example, my wife has huge boobs and it's hard not to show off cleavage, but she has one dress that basically just wraps itself around here breasts, so when she wears it, you can see the exact shape and size of them.

One of my wife's best friends always wears tight tops with (more often than not) and plunging neckline. She has b or c cups and is model thin so happy in her own skin. For years I stared at her tits whether it was a down blouse view, or just looking at the shape of them in her tight top.

I guess I do this with almost every woman I encounter - immediately check out where there is a cleavage on view, or a tight top.

I remember being younger and being obsessed with the colour of my friend's nipples. She had small tits but often went braless and almost always had erect nipples. It took me a few years, but I found out the answer eventually :)

Fun
 

After work hours the wife rarely wears a bra. The looks/stares that she has received is something, best was a female cashier who couldn't take her eyes off the wifes nipples. She even bagged the items and brought them to the cart even as i stood there:) if you want to hear more just let me know

Of course we want to hear more. I checked out your album. Wonderful!

Will warm weather and 2022 bring more braless?
 

For the original questions - What comes to mind? excitement and arousal. Love braless. My wife will make a comment like "I saw you notice." Of which I always say "Yes. She had beautiful eyes!" :) She will wear a lace unlined bra with a somewhat sheer shirt when we are out of town but that's as close as I get to braless with her in public. Inside, it's bra off in the evenings.

Anyways - Hoping braless comes on strong in 2022 but since it has been out for so long, I doubt. Wishful thinking? Anyone seeing a positive sign in this direction?

Normal, natural
 

Well, I guess, how normal, how natural. Most women wear a bra, including most of those I know, including my spouse. But I have to think wearing what is really a belt around one's chest can't be comfortable, and it holds the breasts in an unnatural position.

So, it is always a relief to see a woman without a bra, she looks more comfortable. And, her breasts look like breasts, not odd protrusions from her chest.

Oh, and they sure look nice that way! My $0.02

Giggity Giggity.....

Yes. I’ve noticed more braless women with Covid masks. Seems to give them some feeling of anonymity I suppose.

Braless
 

Takes me back to the 70s. Ah, the good Ole days.

This seems to be more and more common lately. I can rarely head to a grocery or department store platelet without seeing a bra less woman. Here are a few stories.

My wife never wears a bra before it’s t I’me to head out into the world. And it’s removed as soon as we’re home for the night. Which is great. She has fantastic tits and I love watching their movement and seeing her nipples poking through. But she’s never like this in front of others. Not on purpose anyway. But it’s happened a couple times. The best instance was when we had some friends staying with us. It had been a daily thing that we would make breakfast as our friends, a couple, slept in a bit. As I brushed my teeth by wife went to start coffee. She had on a a cheeky tight pair of shorts and a gray tank top with no bra. A few moments later she quickly came back to the room. “Uh… can you see my nipples through this?” She pointed at her gorgeous chest and struck them out a bit. “Not clearly but they’re poking” she got embarrassed. “Dennis is out there and he got an eyeful.” I told her best not speak of it and he probably barely saw. But it was arousing to know he surely checked her out.

Another recent instance was when an old friend stopped by with his daughter. We lost touch as he had the kid right out of high school but we’ve always connected over the years and I’ve watched his daughter grow into a lovely young woman. She’s 18 now and quite the looker. She’s in a bit of a punk rock phase. Short hair dyed blue. They showed up and she was wearing a band t shirt but clearly no bra and I’d never noticed before but she is quite endowed. Out of respect I limited my glances but I couldn’t help but notice the sway of her breasts and her nipples poking from time to time.

My wife practically never wears a bra.
Sometimes she wears a top with kind of a built in bra or lining.
She has long nipples that poke out and doesn't mind that, but if a shirt is real thin and you can see her dark nips through it, she will wear some beige silicone pads over them.
