This piece of wardrobe have been popular since 2016 and is still continuing to grow into 2017. A bralette is a piece of fabric that covers the breasts of a female.

Progress: Finding styles of 2017 was not a hard one because so many people wear these nowadays that by simply going to the mall, you can see these styles everywhere. Especially Forever 21, pop art and bralettes are at least 65% of the entire store. There were so many different colors, patterns, and styles that are new to me. There were also a variety of see through clothes with pop art on them. These were very interesting styles that are getting more popular and popular by day.

Reflection: As a teenager living in 2017, these styles were something that I see almost daily. I even own some of these myself. I think these pieces of clothing are very unique and it's something that has never been introduced to the world until 2016. I enjoy wearing these and many of my friends wear them too. They also recommend certain places for the better price or quality. I hope to continue to see these styles in the future.
