The latest lingerie trend to hit stores takes bras in the opposite direction of those worn to show off a plunging neckline. It's the rise (yikes) of high neck bras and bralettes.

It could be these high or halter necks are just an extension of the bralette trend. Like many unstructured foundations, they won't work with all fashions. They may be easier to wear in winter, under heavier sweaters and turtlenecks. But many high neck bras don't look much different from a summer crop top. And others are made to show off. (See also the number of new high neck sports bras.) To be honest, I haven't tried any myself, so I'd love to hear from readers about their experiences.
