The present invention provides a bra that can be worn under a tank top, tube top, tank dress, tube dress, halter top or any other article of minimal, revealing or skimpy clothing, which would normally expose bra straps. The bra has straps that resemble an article of clothing or match an article of clothing. In one aspect of the invention, a bra has straps that look like an article of clothing. The straps can be formed of a uniform material composition along the entire length, i. e. no portion made entirely of elastic. The straps could be wider or thinner than a normal bra strap. In another aspect of the invention, a bra has straps that match an article of clothing, i. e. have the same color or a color that plays off of the color of an article of clothing, and/or contains a design that is identical to or plays off of the color or design of an article of clothing. Also, the straps may look like an article of clothing as opposed to a conventional bra strap. In another aspect of the invention, a bra is sold as a unit with an article of clothing, and the straps of the bra match the article of clothing.
