Abercrombie's NEW Bra-Free line made me break up with my bras for good
Who needs bras when you have Abercrombie & Fitch?
As a woman living in the year 2025, I know there is nothing worse than an uncomfortable, unsupportive, and downright constraining bra (which unfortunately categorizes MOST of what is on the market for women).
Recently, while scrolling the internet, I stumbled upon a new Abercrombie & Fitch campaign that caught my eye — a Bra-Free Collection. At first glance, I had my reservations because when it comes to keeping the 'girls' supported, the idea of a braless existence seems absurd.
But believe me when I say from the first wear of these insanely genius designed pieces, I knew I was going to be breaking up with my bras forever.

No bra? No problem!
The NEW Abercrombie Bra-Free Collection features everything from tanks to dresses all with a unique supportive design that keeps the 'girls' protected without the need for a pesky bra.

Imagine a world without underwires, without the old-fashioned hook and eye closures — now stop imagining because thanks to Abercrombie & Fitch, that reality is finally here. The new Bra-Free Collection features over 25 unique pieces, ranging from tanks to dresses. To perform the best review possible, I, of course, ordered an array of options.
My first try on what I believe is going to be one of the biggest best-sellers of the collection, the Bra-Free Hardware Cutout Bodysuit in black. This dare I say sexy bodysuit comes in five colors and features a low-cut neckline.
Bra-Free Hardware Cutout Bodysuit
Ooo la la!
This spicy bodysuit comes in five colors, including a sassy red. It has a deep sweeping neckline and a cut-out design that features a gold embellishment.
Designed with pad inserts, this suit is perfect for going bra-free and even gives a subtle push-up effect too.
$50 Shop
The bodysuit, aside from being butter-soft on my skin, had generously lined cups inside each breast pocket (and yes, they are removable!). I was shocked by two things: number one, I had no surprise peekaboo nip moments, and number two, it gave my smaller chest a gorgeous push-up despite being lightly lined!
I'd like to say I had my woes with the Bra-Free Hardware Cutout Bodysuit, but truly, it was a solid 8/10 on my scale based on comfort, functionality, and overall style. The piece more than lives up to its bra-free name with support that worked on my B-cup chest.
Next up on my tour-de-la-bra-free was the brand's new basics. I chose to take their Bra-Free 90s Cami and Double Lined Baby Tee for a spin around the block, and here is what I thought.
Bra-Free 90s Cami
Throw it back with this tank that is giving major 90s vibes with a twist!
Abercrombie is adding a bra-free spin to this classic tank that comes in over five colors and we are obsessed.
The removable breast pads are light enough to not add bulge but thick enough to prevent nip slips! If you are looking for a way to ditch the bras all year long — this is it.
$29 Shop
Double-Lined Baby Tee
Restock your basics with this viral baby-tee that shoppers keep adding to cart.
The butter-soft tee comes in over five colors and even some prints and has a thick double lined design. This means you can go bra-free without the worry and still have ample support!
$25 Shop
The cami felt like a second skin, and the adjustable straps were a huge plus since I am so small. Just like most of the pieces in the new capsule, it featured removable cups that I found both comfortable and supportive.
My only grievance was that in the color I got (white), I could faintly still see the outline of my nipples at certain angles.
For me, the best-selling Double Lined Baby Tee was as soft as it is rumored to be, but it misses the mark for a bra-free find. Unlike the cup insert pieces in the collection, the baby tees just have a double-lined, thick fabric that aims to remove the need for a bra.
As a girl who supports the 'Free the Nip' movement but one who does not participate herself, I felt like these tees still showed off my goodies more than I would like.
Bra-Free Flowy Tie-Back Maxi Dress
If you have been looking for the perfect summer maxi dress look no further!
This linen find comes in multiple colors and is light enough for hot days. It has included removable cups for a bra-free wear and a tie back for easy size adjusting too.
Whether you are headed to the beach or brunch, this dress is the epitome of the sunshine season.
$120 Shop
Last up on my checklist for the new Abercrombie & Fitch Bra-Free Collection was perhaps the one I was most excited for, the Bra-Free Flowy Tie-Back Maxi Dress.
Butter yellow is the color of the year and we couldn't agree more! This delicate summer dress not only fit like a glove but the breast padding was so convenient.
This gorgeous summer dress comes in two colors and one print. I went with the sunny yellow version and can officially confirm it is as bra-free as it gets! The gorgeous linen dress features the collection's signature removable pads that offer full coverage support, which made me feel supported in place the entire time I wore it.
The bottom line? After wearing multiple pieces from Abercrombie's new Bra-Free Collection, I am officially converted. If you are sick and tired of having to wear a bra, this clothing is hands down for you. It is cute, functional, and even affordable.
Let's just say after giving these new collections a try, I don't think I will be wearing a bra for a long, long time.

From a job at a meat processing plant to country music stardom, Bailey Zimmerman is figuring it out
His is a Cinderella story. Before the big tours and country music award nominations, Bailey Zimmerman was growing up in the small town of Louisville, Illinois, working at the local meat processing plant and laying gas pipeline. Then, in 2020, he decided to upload videos of himself singing to social media — Black Stone Cherry's 'Stay,' and, later, an original. He quickly garnered a fan base on TikTok. It wasn't overnight, but it was fast. Soon, he inked a deal with Warner Music Nashville and released his debut full-length, 2023's 'Religiously. The Album.' It peaked at No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart and was certified two-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Now comes Friday, when he follows it up with a sophomore offering, 'Different Night Same Rodeo.' 'I don't know what I'm doing,' Zimmerman, 25, tells The Associated Press through a smile. 'I randomly got into music in 2020, 2021, and I'd never sang before. I'd never wrote songs before.' After 'Religiously. The Album.' did well — something he didn't see coming — Zimmerman found himself trying to recreate it while writing for his second album. 'It just didn't work,' he says. 'I just found myself not really writing that great of songs because I'm trying to write other songs that have already been written.' So, he took a step back, and asked himself: 'What am I trying to do with my music? And what is the whole goal of this next album?' The answer was simple: He wanted to tell stories from his life. 'You didn't know what you were doing the first time. And you don't know what you're doing now,' he told himself. 'So just write songs that you love and try to write songs that you feel like people can relate to, you know, stories from things I've been through.' On 'Different Night Same Rodeo,' those stories are told in big-hearted ballads ('Hell or High Water'), good time stomps ('New to Country') and varied collaborations, including with country star Luke Combs ('Backup Plan'), the rising pop voice the Kid LAROI ('Lost'), and Diplo ('Ashes'). He's always been open to such eclectic collaborations, anchored in his raspy, charismatic tone — Zimmerman's highest charting song to date is 'All The Way,' a hip-hop-country hybrid he features on with rapper BigXThaPlug. For his second album, Zimmerman wanted to make sure he worked with artists he had true relationships with. For Combs, he knew the singer would be perfect for the fiery 'Backup Plan' — he just never thought he'd meet him. Then, Combs invited Zimmerman to perform at his Hurricane Helene relief benefit 'Concert for Carolina.' They hit it off, and the rest is history. The Kid LAROI ('We're like the same person,' Zimmerman says) and Diplo ('Sometimes things just feel like God's plan,' he says) were partnerships that also happened organically. 'When I collaborate, I just want it to be a real friendship,' he says. 'And I want it to feel real, because it comes across not real when it's not.' For an artist who describes himself as 'dealing with a little bit of impostor syndrome,' he seems to know, at least intuitively, what works for himself and his fans. 'The main reason I write music is so people know they're not alone and that I've been through the things that they've been through, too,' he says. 'I think that's what I started my whole career on, was people relating to me kind of 'therapy writing,'' he says. ''Different Night Same Rodeo' — it's the fluctuation of life. It's the ups and the downs, the mountains, the valleys, but we're still on a good vibe.'

Hulk Hogan 'begged for forgiveness' in tearful final conversation with daughter Brooke before his death at 71
In the days before his passing from a heart attack at age 71, WWE superstar Hulk Hogan was able to reconcile with his estranged daughter, Brooke. After years of no contact between the father and daughter, the 37-year-old Brooke was able to reach out to her dad. According to the National Enquirer, the two shared a short but heartfelt conversation on July 25. Five days later, Hogan passed away at his home in Florida. 'It was a tearful conversation, albeit a short one,' an insider told the outlet. 'Brooke told her dad how much she loved him, how much she missed him. Hulk said he loved her, and he was sorry. 'That was huge for Brooke to hear. Everyone knew how stubborn Hulk could be, but his fading health obviously softened him up. He knew he was dying and begged her forgiveness.' Five days after the news of Hogan's death was announced, Brooke posted a long message on Instagram clarifying their relationship. 'My father and I never 'fought,' she wrote. 'It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand.' Brooke revealed she had felt her father starting to pull away - saying he no longer wanted support or advice from her, despite his health issues. Hogan revealed he had 25 surgeries in the last decade - including 10 back operations, replacements on his knee and hip, and procedures on both shoulders. 'We'd been through almost 25 surgeries together, and all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries,' Brooke said. 'But even when they weren't speaking, she cared about him and worried about him,' a source told the outlet. 'The important thing is, when he passed away, they were okay again.' 'Brooke can't help the current state her family is in right now, but she can go on knowing her dad loved her and there was peace between them before he died.'

Addison Rae's VERY sexy selfies catch the attention of a controversial country pop star
Country pop star Jessie Murph has sparked controversy after the release of her song 1965, a track featuring lyrics about relinquishing rights and tolerating a 'slap-slap' for a romantic relationship - with the music video also facing accusations of praising pornography and domestic violence. And the backlash continued after Jessie left a flirty comment on Addison Rae 's recent thirst trap - with followers attempting to keep the musician from the influencer. A fully-clothed Addison, 24, donned red stilettos as she struck seductive poses on her bed, a checkered red crop top showing off her arched back. 'Hot,' Jessie, 20, commented. The message garnered 644 'likes' - but several Addison fans jumped in to seemingly prevent any further communication from occurring, with one telling Jessie to return to 1965. 'STAY AWAY FROM HER,' one Instagram user said directly to Jessie. Murph, pictured May, has been accused of glorifying pornography and domestic violence through her new song 1965 'girl get out,' another told Jessie. 'get OUT OF HERE,' one commenter wrote while another wrote in, 'shoo go baq to 1965.' 'not jessie murph,' one wrote with two sob emojis, prompting one to reply, 'no fr i frowned.' 'Jessie Murph is... A choice but go off baddie,' another posted. 'Her music is trash, is what they are saying,' one said in response. Jessie's controversial 1965 track sees the musician singing about giving 'up a few rights' and taking 'a slap' if it meant she'd be treated more respectfully by men. She performed the controversial tune on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with the lines yearning for her beau to 'love her like it's 1965'. Her ballad was also nostalgic for a time period where courting gentlemen were 'handwriting letters' and 'showing up at the door with flowers' instead of 'hit[ting] [women] up on Snapchat' at 2am. The track also includes risque lines like 'I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn't hit me on Snapchat' and 'I would be twenty, and it'd be acceptable for you to be forty'. During her Tonight Show performance, the star donned a Priscilla Presley beehive and a baby pink mini dress with patterned tights as she danced on a stage with a retro sofa in what appeared to be a recreation of the 'tradwife' lifestyle, charming husband on hand. The term refers to women who perform 'traditional' gendered roles, often likened to the archetypal 1950s 'housewife'. Recent interest in the aesthetic has seen millions on social media calling for girls to ditch corporate life and instead, dedicate their days to cooking, cleaning, wearing modest and feminine dress, and practicing traditional etiquette - as well as being submissive to their husbands. Jessie's tune attracted fury online, with many branding the remark 'tasteless' for making light of a time in which women endured horrific misogyny. In both England and the US, marital rape was still legal during the era, and women could not open their own bank account, among other restrictions. She seductively arched her back as she climbed into bed in her red high heels 'In 1965, it was legal for men to rape their wives. I don't care if this is meant to be ironic or satirical or whatever, I absolutely hate it,' one commenter on social media penned. Another added: 'Like what does loving like it's 1965 even mean? Getting your a** beat? having no rights is romantic? I hate the white woman 50s-60s "aesthetic".' A third simply exclaimed: '"I think id give up a few rights if you would just love me like it's 1965" SORRY?????' 'Call me too woke but "I would give up rights if you love me like it's 1965" at a time where women are actually losing rights is so insane???' another offered. Others similarly agreed, writing: 'Has anyone else heard the song 1965 by Jessie Murph? 'Read the lyrics, it's literally far right propaganda that is encouraging women to give up their rights. People are saying it's satire but given everything going on, why say this while we are literally at risk of losing our rights ??'. After her performance, Jessie thanked the Tonight show for a 'dazzling' and 'grand time'. The Alabama-born singer first rose to fame from uploading vlogs and song covers to TikTok and YouTube - which led her on to releasing her two albums: That Ain't No Man That's the Devil in 2024 and Sex Hysteria in 2025. She also received backlash when the music video for her song, 1965, was released - with some accusing the footage of being pornography, Taste of Country reported. In the retro-inspired clips that shows a family around a table - and Jessie forlornly singing to a child - as there is also a brief shot of a couple having sex. The clip - which has to have age verification to be watched - drew comments like 'the fact that YouTube removes videos for way less and this is still up is insane'.
