TL;DR Summary

There are no laws governing women's underwear, but laws focus on body parts and what can be shown. Some states and cities allow women to go topless in public, which also means going braless. Workplace dress codes vary, with some jurisdictions requiring gender neutrality. There is no medical reason to wear a bra, though sports bras may help with back strain for women with large breasts. Going braless challenges gender norms and societal expectations, forcing people to confront deep-seated prejudices. While it is not your responsibility to make others comfortable, group dynamics may influence personal choices in certain situations.
