Fashion mistake of the decade

Spotted in Dalston on Friday: a man wearing two pairs of pants, both visible over the (very low) waistband of his jeans.

A colleague told me that a Young Person of her acquaintance says it's all the rage for the young ladies of today to wear TWO bras, one assumes for the purposes of extra bosom enhancement. Perhaps the young man you saw needed extra support in the genital department?

Wha? One bra is usually uncomfortable enough!

Well, quite! I assume that the Young People of Today are prepared to put up with a certain amount of discomfort in the name of fashion (as has always been the case I suppose). I fail to see HOW two bras would increase yr cleavage any more than one really good bra but hey ho...

my suggestion increases implied cleaveage!

I suppose IMPLIED cleavage is the important thing here - one puny bra will NOT do!

Well, as a youngish person (I say "ish" because I am GRUMPY) I enjoy a good cleavage-enhancing bra but since these things are widely and adfordably available, why would anyone spend more money (my iPhone just attempted to correct that to "Monet" bringing up a whole different kettle of fish) on two (2) presumably sh!tter bras?

The mind boggles, frankly.

Both Sam and Roxy Mitchell on Stenders seem to be in the habit of wearing about 97 different layered tops, it is hard to tell which are bras and which are vest tops so they could have started this trend for multiple straps.
