How To Stop Wearing Bras
1. Decide that bras are stupid
2. Stop buying bras
3. Go out in public without a bra
4. Realize that this is a great way to go through life
5. Stop wearing bras forever
Backstory:
I always thought bras were stupid. In 2012, my washing machine broke 5 of my 6 bras all at once. I went out looking for bras and couldn't find any that fit (common story, I assure you, because no matter how many times you get fitted, every salesperson will claim that their measurement is the most accurate and it will be a blatant lie). So I decided to just go bra-less and see what happened.
The first day kind of sucked. I used to figure skate, and I assure you, figure skating without a bra is really strange. I felt self-conscious the whole time and vowed to get a bra the following weekend. I did indeed buy a bra that sort-of-almost-didn't-maybe-fit the following weekend. Actually, I bought 5, from 5 different manufacturers, because I really thought I was going to commit to the bra-wearing thing. Except by then I had already gotten used to not having random semi-permanent bondage apparel strapped to my boobs all day, and I was resentful for having had to buy said apparel for ridiculous amounts of money, so I thought I would give it a rest and see if I could ease into wearing them when I was in a better mood. But it's been three years and I've thrown all my bras away, so for now, I say that I've stopped wearing bars, and it is lovely.
If this is something you have also been dying to do in your life, I am tell you now that this is totally do-able. Go forth and do!
I will qualify, however, that some girls insist they need their bras. If that is you, then good for you. Go wear your bra. There are many ways to live your life, and going around with a bra for the majority of your waking hours is a completely legitimate way to go about that life.
Edit:
In case you actually do want to not wear a bra and are trying to figure out how:
2. Stop buying bras
3. Go out in public without a bra
4. Realize that this is a great way to go through life

Edit:
In case you actually do want to not wear a bra and are trying to figure out how:
1. Wear whatever you already own and just go with it. Recommended for people with really high confidence and zero regard to social expectations, or for people who just happen to fall into the category of owning clothes that work for the bra-less in the environments they happen to be in.
2. Wear blazers/thicker, non-spandex jackets over everything. Recommended for people who can handle wearing blazers and jackets in their particular environment. Covers everything, no problem. The only problem is if you are doing this because you don't want it to look like you aren't wearing a bra, you can't take off your blazer/jacket ever. Not recommended for summer.
3. Loose, printed tops, by themselves or over turtlenecks/long sleeve tees. Good for spring, summer, and fall fashion.
4. Loose-knit sweaters over whatever you are already wearing. Generally easy to match if you like that kind of fashion, and works for any season. Caveat: sometimes the nipples show anyways. This does not usually happen with blazers and printed tops. Wear at own risk.
5. Camisoles under everything. They make life easier.
6. Denim, khaki, or sweater vests. If you like vests, this is not a bad option. Unfortunately, these are not always in fashion, so if you're fashion-conscious and determined to go bra-less, you will maybe want to
