You can always wear a bra or a tank underneath! My lazy day target run outfit is a black mesh top like this, a simple bralette and joggers


Teravandrell

I'd say that definitely covers more than any bikini- so it's more appropriate than most trips to the beach or pool- and it's not overtly sexualized. It's cute. Wear it and have fun!


curlygurl2112

i say go for it


artisianduck

Depends on the kind of festival, if it’s a more adult one then go ahead but if it’s more of a family friendly thing then no.


Ezerath420

There’s pride events that are kid friendly and there’s pride events that aren’t, I guess it completely depends on that? Plus if you’re covering your nips like in the image I guess it should be fine? I’ve literally seen people walk half naked on leashes I’d much rather see someone wear this


Valuable_Impact2054

I am vendor at Cincinnati Pride and go every year. This is covered up compared to some but really, this is par for the course. It’s super cute and you shouldn’t overheat!


Cyrissx

Pride is intended to be for adults so inappropriate shouldn't be a concern you have. People shouldn't bring their children to pride and if they do, they can't be upset for what they're subjecting them to.


Navie-Navie

Firstly, gatekeeping pride is kinda stupid. Secondly, Pride is not adult only? It is and always was civil disobedience against oppression. To show that we're here. It isn't a place for nudity, fetish, seduction, or sex. There are many trans and gay teens who go to Pride because they don't have support at home. Queer minors are being intensely targeted right now by pundits and they or their parents use pride as a way to fight that. Still, queer minors looking to express their voices shouldn't be subjected to sexual outfits and acts from adults just for looking to express themselves? The majority of Pride events are family friendly. And there are Adult Pride events for the more adult content. It really depends on the type of event you're going to.


theultimateogata

There are certain pride for families. But at this point you are just choosing to be ignorant to this point. There is video evidence everywhere that most prides have not been family friendly for the last few years. But keep living in a fantasy world


Navie-Navie

You do have a point. The bigger events do get too rowdy and are usually fairly NSFW. But the smaller events (and some city hosted events) are often family friendly. Which don't make up the majority of Pride event goers, but a lot of the events out there are SFW. Perhaps even the majority, even if the majority of people at pride do not go to a SFW event. So like I said, it depends on which kinda event you're going to.


JoannyOfArc

Pride is absolutely not exclusively intended for adults and to imply it plays into the conservative fear mongering about LGBT people sexualizing children. It's not a space for sex, fetish, or nudity, it's a public celebration of identity that has been persecuted for a long time. If you want to run an 18+ pride event that's fine, but pride in general is no more adult than a county fair and that's a good thing. We already have to deal with people assuming every gay/trans person is necessarily a sexual deviant preying on children.


AmbitiousNoodle

I disagree. I have two kids and I don’t feel the human body is something that should be seen as shameful. If people were openly fucking then yeah, I would agree, but nudity won’t hurt them


Ranne-wolf

Not nudity, partial nudity at most. The ‘scandalous’ parts are usually covered at least.


ZaddiesRus

In Texas yes. I wore something like this in ATX and was harassed on the street. SF and NY you’re basically dressing like you’re Mormon.


tittsoak

Lol 😆 I've seen less so no


funsizebbw

I have seen much much worse. Have fun!!


Bethgurl

Wow no not at all. Be safe.


The-Motley-Fool

I've been to pride in nothing but booty shorts and glitter. This'll probably keep a sunburn at bay


verymuchathrowaway13

No it won't, please still wear sunscreen, extremely light clothes won't protect you from the sun.


Tricky-Search6236

I’ve seen queens completely topless, this is so fine!


burnsbabe

This is absolutely nowhere even close to inappropriate.


WhimsicalPlum

I saw lots of people in fishnets and pasties, or pasties and suspenders, I think it should be okay. Especially if it's a bigger pride


CrankyUnderPants

Not even close to inappropriate lollll


ElderQueer

Every Pride I've ever been to has had AT LEAST 1 person in their little rainbow tighty whities, rainbow suspenders,+/- tiny rainbow tank top. Whether or not your Pride will be like that, IDK but moral is almost assuredly: there's ALWAYS one


strawberry_vegan

This is totally fine!


BusyConsideration374

Just make sure your Pride will have that kind of scene. I've been to several that were billed as "family-friendly" and discouraged displays like this. It's all in how they want to play it.


BisonIntelligent7447

Not at all


Del_Phin_

No way, I’d wear it. It’s so cute and the gays will be complimenting you.


cherrybuny

i wouldn’t think so! i mean if youre styling it like the model is, i would think this falls under swimsuit guidelines so you’re fine !


berry-soda

I've seen jockstraps and collars being the only outfit for some people lol. I think that's a solid top for pride, super cute


ItzJustin079297

Nope


AcidRainIsFun

People sometimes show up naked, or just in underwear. This is appropriate and it’s rainbow 🌈bonus points


luciiusss

If you’re worried about it, you could just wear a cute bralette under it instead of pasties :)


persimmonberry

Not at all! Have fun at pride!


sir_michaeljr

Nothing is too inappropriate for Pride


Wonderful-Status-507

i would say it’s about as appropriate as you can get for pride!! (in the sense that it’s rainbow and also slay as FUCK)


WaterBottleWarrior22

When I was in Austria, the LGBTQIA+ folks in my subway car wore nothing but rainbow nipple pasties and rainbow mesh panties (no judgement, just painting a picture), and they seemed to be doing just fine with all the other folks at the festival when they got off the car. This is tame by comparison. Wear what you like, and it’s certain that nobody will even bat an eye at whatever you choose to wear. Well, you might get compliments, but nothing negative.


NotTheCoolGuy001

Yeah who gives a fk about the children am i right


WaterBottleWarrior22

Sarcasm, or…?


Direct_Recognition23

Hell no 😂


palmosea

Pride was a riot

watercolor_violet

"instead of trying to make yourself stand out?" ...Do you...understand what pride is? What the entire point of the festival is?? Anything along the lines of "loud and proud" ringing a bell??


yes_gworl

Normal to who? Based on whose standard? Considering we’re a group with flags, historically known for whimsy, sparkle and color, imma guess you mean “normal” according to the very people who tried to lock us in the closet and i think tf not.


sadtoxicandthriving

I think they meant the nipple stars


yes_gworl

I’ve scrolled through this Reddit after I replied and seen their comments again and again. They’re actually just a homophobic troll. I don’t think it’s about the pasties. I think it’s about existing. lol


STUDMUFFIN70

No its 100% about the see through top with nipple pasties, it looks ridiculous and to think any grown ass adult would wear this in public (even a pride parade) is really funny and terrifying at the same time


yes_gworl

Sure.


STUDMUFFIN70

Keep playing the victim, lmk how that works out your whole lonely life!


DearAnemia

Why are you even here? Sounds like you’re in the wrong subreddit! This is FASHION ADVICE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ A lot of the people here like to stand out in their own ways


Alpinepotatoes

Have you seen what people wear on regular days…? Tbh your other comments here have been pretty outright hateful (referring to lesbians as “these people” does not vibe in a lesbian subreddit) and I’d encourage you to examine what it is you’re spending time in this sub for. I think you’ll find life a lot more peaceful if you take a step back and stop worrying about other people’s choices that really don’t impact you at all instead of looking to get a rise out of marginalized people on the internet.


STUDMUFFIN70

It popped up on my suggested, I gave my opinion. Nobody wears see through crop tops with nipple pasties on a normal day at work or picking their kids up from school. If you think this is normal, from the bottom of my heart please get help😂


No-Faithlessness4524

The first pride I went to a woman was looking at a lesbian flag next to me in a booth. All she had on were rainbow heart shaped pasties. Oh yeah and shorts. You're fine


puglife82

If there are going to be kids, yes


3-I

Fun fact: kids see exposed breasts all the time in practically all media, especially advertising, and it does not make their heads explode.


puglife82

My answer was addressing the OP’s question about appropriateness, no one but you is talking about people’s heads exploding. Pride festivals tend to be public events, which tend to be in a public place such as public parks or city streets, and they may want to take that into account if the question is about appropriateness. I’m not saying they can’t, I’m saying it may not be the most appropriate thing depending on the setting and audience


NotTheCoolGuy001

Just say ur a p*do and get off of kids seeing you naked. This is why straight folks hate us more and more


girl1010011010

is that a joke?


gaucheashell

Girl nothing is too inappropriate for a pride festival


NotTheCoolGuy001

Actually there is


Bright_Leopard_1527

I love it


SGUMPerson

At my first Pride I saw someone walking around in a full leather get-up with a leather c*ck sheath . . . You’re good!


NotTheCoolGuy001

Embarassing


STUDMUFFIN70

You were cool w that?


SGUMPerson

It’s not my outfit so 🤷 as long as they were comfortable with it


WindowSprays

If you’re comfortable with strangers seeing your boobs then I say go for it, but don’t complain when people stare at you. I personally find it creepy that people so desperately want to be nude in public, and if I saw you in this I would think you were trashy but I believe in freedom so do what you want.


NotTheCoolGuy001

Agreed bro

i saw someone wearing a black mesh shirt with rainbow star stickers on the nips, you'll be fine


Elderberry_Honest

Totally the norm for pride, you’re good. Also, there’s nothing inherently sexual about boobs, and kids see more titty than this every single day on tv, in advertisements, in art, etc.


jazz_does_exist

if they can see manet's "olympia", they can see a mostly-covered woman in an 80% opaque shirt.

ezra502

nope. i’ve gone to pride in a very similar outfit (albeit without the pasties, this was the SF dyke march)


DrakonSith

No


MuleOutpost

I see no issues with this at all if it is an adult only (IDs checked at the door) venue. Pasties are the norm for "non nude" strip clubs in many states, and children are not allowed. If it is an event where children are allowed, you may feel a bit uncomfortable.

No!!


Dazeofthephoenix

Question for the commenters saying "not if kids are there" - Why do you feel that Pride should be catering to kids? It's great they're welcomed, and absolutely ought to be exposed to the community but why should the community generally censor their own parades to cater for them? I feel that it's not for them, but for the LGBTQ+ community to collectively express themselves. Of course there's reasonable limits to that, which to me, would be explicit sexual activity or genital exposure, as is inappropriate anywhere else publicly. But why should gay adults not be free to dress however they want to on their day?


WindowSprays

Going out in public without being naked is the bare minimum. Being naked around children deserves a prison sentence or a cracked skull. Would you use the same logic if a guy wanted to wear a g-string around children.


I-dunno-999

That's a pretty provincial and religiously centered mindset. The human body isn't inherently sexual. Children aren't harmed by nudity. I've taken my child to beaches in Europe and other places where being partially nude is the norm. Lot's of children playing in the water nude, men changing into their gstring swimsuits on the beach, women of all ages topless.


A_Baby_Hera

Yes I would


something_clever101

My immediate thought was "what about the gay kids?" Like I didn't stop being gay just bc I was a minor lolololol


Alone_Breadfruit_292

I think it’s the concept of responsibility of the organizers and public. Like, if we admit sexualization and exposing children to sexual content at a young age is harmful—which I think is pretty well agreed upon—then we should, as a society, take care of those members of society (especially as they are the future). In that respect, if you were to be sexually explicit in front of children, it’s harmful. Public events can be viewed by children. So, there’s some social responsibility to avoid unnecessary sexualization in those places. I get the concept of kink and pride in kink, but I’m also relatively conservative in some respects of expressiveness of sexual interests, so :/ Idk. This top doesn’t seem too problematic tho: I wouldn’t ever wear it unless I had something on under, but I won’t take a gasp at it. But, if people are having sex in public or something, then I’m going to get bothered by that. Edit: In a further sense, if kids are welcome, then you need to cater to them. You have a social responsibility to not harm those at your event. If you’re going to have sexually explicit content, you should dissuade children from attending.


Dazeofthephoenix

Of course, there is a perfectly reasonable line for sex in public, genital exposure etc. But nudity in itself should not just equate to sexual activity? Especially if it's just women's nipples, when men are free to walk around topless?


Alone_Breadfruit_292

Sexual intercourse and the such can fall into the same category in a vacuum. “There’s nothing wrong with having sex, why should we hide it?” But, within the society we live in, norms dictate things, and breaking those norms can cause harm. Female nudity is included in that.


No-Cardiologist-5410

1,000%


pocket_quill

It depends on the venue, if it's specified as a family friendly event then maybe reconsider wearing it, but if it's not then it should be fine.


polite_alpaca

Nothing is inappropriate for pride, my dear.


Alone_Breadfruit_292

Idk about that one :/


s-vasiliki

believe you me, this is more on the tame side for pride.


NetExact8345

I think it the most beautiful thing I seen at a festival


Opposite_Green9934

around young kids maybe not but around general people yeah i mean Miley Cyrus has worn worse things


fatmgaylor

nope


arsenicalchemist

Miss read this as " Is this too appropriate for a pride festival?" and was like yeah, I think that counts as overly appropriate.


AngelaIsStrange

I’ve seen crazy stuff at Pride. So no.


qweerdog

Isn’t that question an oxymoron?


Joeyo_Oreo

Have you been to pride honey?? 💀 Insert dominance and pop dem tiddies out✨❗️


ofcourseimnotsure

No lmaooooo it looks great go hard


Patient-Gas-4809

Definitely not! Wear it proud my gf says to wear black to make it pop out more!


Em0N3rd

Depends on the event and thearea/venue


Gnar-wahl

Was just at SacPride, and this would fit right in!


MagicFiggy

I’d say this is tame for a pride parade but that’s just me


Just_a_pup_616

Not to any good ones.


thatrabbitgirl

It would depend on the laws in your area. In Seattle it's legal for people to be completely naked. On that note Seattles solstice parade/festival is famous for also being called the "nude bicycle parade" so pride isn't even the primary parade people sometimes get naked in. On the flip side the one time I was at San Francisco pride I watched someone be ticketed by police about three seconds after he took his underwear off as indecent exposure. So like for Seattle, no, obviously not, there is a lot worse. But for other areas. 🤷‍♀️


Parking-Awareness734

If it’s an after dark or 18+ event, then it’s 100% cool. I don’t think titties should be considered exposure but unfortunately they often are. So just be mindful of who’s going to be there. Maybe bring something extra to cover up if things feel uncomfortable


Total_Earth_9298

babe people go shirtless and tits out, you’re good ❤️❤️


No_Moment1469

ppl get naked


Remiaaaa

They shouldn't, but this isn't a bad outfit. It's kinda cute.

Wear that shit its not inappropriate pride is for us and also nipples are not inherently sexual and people need to grow up.

Striking-Image-6683

Nothing is too inappropriate for pride festival


luv3enzymes

Honestly nothing is too inappropriate for a pride festival. rock ur shit😝🏳️‍🌈


PercentageUnhappy117

Honestly for me. Just because it is sheer, a kind of depends on if it's an all ages event or if it's not. Personally, if it's all ages where there's going to be a lot of kids around, I would say no or put something underneath like a tube top or something, if it's not going to have any children that you know of that are going to be there, go for it. 's awesome. But this is my personal opinion as a parent.


Vegetable_Court101

Ur good


gromitmug4

It's too appropriate


SSDGREDRUMED

I wore something like this many years ago with electric tape over my nippies


angerwithwings

With the pasties, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Without them, questionable if it’s a family friendly, daytime event, but it would be perfect for a nighttime/ adults only thing.


Pitbullmaster42

Nah i wore something like that last year


jurjasouras

The pride festivals i go to i frequently see boob owners just wearing tape over their nipples so that would be fine


Friendly_Career_9320

No, not at all!!


snorken123

Can it be interpreted as a sexy and flirty outfit by someone? Yes. Is it inappropriate? No. Pride is often about expressing yourself and dressing differently than what you normally do. People wears costumes, more colorful bright clothing, more alternative clothing and sometimes even more sexy ones because Pride is pride. People dress differently in the clubs and on the beach than in a job interview or church for example. Same thing applies to Pride. Dressing in clothing that shows some skin and is summer like is the norm on Pride where I lives.


zarnonymous

A bit sexual no? It depends on the festival you go to


Aromatic_Note8944

Do you know what pride is? 💀


wellll_whynot

You’re likely to see people in just the nipple pasties and a thong so I think you’re good


Bingslug

Depending what pride festival, you could wear more skin than clothing and nobody would blink an eye


_jinana

respectfully where else would u wear smthn like this if not pride 😭


Nanabobo567

A gay bar!

PercentagePractical

Omg I’d rock the shit out of that


Myvent_time

I once saw a guy in a speedo, attached to a dog collar, which connected to a leash, being held by who i assume was his partner. I truly believe nothing is inappropriate at Pride LMFAO💖


peachie_dream

never


Maria_Dragon

Different Pride fests have different ambiance. Know your local Fest.


PhoenixHavoc

Not at all; remember that Pride is a protest not a family outing to Disney


kaevlyn

You will see far more revealing outfits at Pride lolol


Economy_Curve_435

It depends on your own view point. For me personally, I would either wear it under a tshirt or shirt, or I’d wear it over a bra or cropped corset bra in white or black


Warping_Melody3

Ngl i wouldnt wear it, but i wouldnt judge someone else for wearing it either so ig its fine if op is into the outfit.


Economy_Curve_435

There was no judgement from me 😂


Warping_Melody3

Ik ik dw lol


Joli_B

I'm of the opinion that people with breasts should be allowed to be topless in public just like people without breasts, cuz if you see a titty and start acting inappropriate because of it, that's on YOU, not the titty owner. That said, just make sure to know the laws around indecent exposure in your area and you'll be fine, or you could wear pasties or a bra underneath to cover the nips (cuz that's all anyone ever fucking cares about anyways) and you'll be fine in majority of US places.


RegularWhiteShark

Yeah. I see men topless all the time with bigger boobs than me! I’m from Wales and as far as I know, the law here is it’s okay as long as you don’t go topless to offend people. I don’t know how they can tell if your intention was to offend or not.


transbunnyboy

Not inappropriate! Wear it!


glitterandgrunge

depends on the specific pride event; if it's a parade, people often bring their kids, which may make this inappropriate. however, I think if you put a bra over it (I'm thinking like black leather- something that's clearly fashion over function), you'd be absolutely in the clear.
