    Default Less Boob Jobs?

    But perhaps more importantly, Americans are moving away from the "bombshell" look Victoria's Secret has built its reputation on, and are instead stocking up on more natural, unstructured bralettes. Because bralettes are easier to construct, they make it simpler for nontraditional lingerie brands to challenge the stalwart. Both American Eagle ()'s aerie lingerie line and Urban Outfitters () have recently cited the item as one trend fueling their sales.
    The analyst pointed to a decline in breast augmentations as one example of consumers' changing tastes. Roughly 279,000 American women went under the knife in 2015, down from nearly 331,000 three years earlier. It was the third consecutive year that number had fallen.
    And in its December issue, Vogue UK declared that showing cleavage is no longer fashionable.
    L Brands last week said it expects third-quarter earnings of 40 cents per share, at the low end of its prior forecast and below Wall Street's expectations. Its October comparable sales also disappointed, rising 1 percent. That included a 2 percent drop at Victoria's Secret.
    The company's shares are down 30 percent this year and at midday Monday were trading up 1.3 percent at $65.88.

    there are a ton of factors overall so im not really shocked- that also does not cover that the average bustline is getting bigger, and starting younger as well, ontop of personal tastes, and women more comfortable and happy with what they have and so on

    This is definitely a trend, too! Or at least, more acceptance of a bigger booty.

    VS has been making some really cute bralettes. And they still look great with my fake boobs. lulz

    I agree with Vyanka. I think in the 1990's- 2000's a slimmer body with large breasts was more popular and now a curvier hour-glass shape with more athletic build and a larger butt is the popular aesthetic. I personally have three friends in South Fla. that do not have implants. One doesn't need them, one plans to get them and one has toyed with idea but realizes that smallish perky boobs are better than sand bags- so I think the other posted who commented women's breasts overall are getting larger lso has a valid point.

    I don't know if that's THAT bad of news for them. They sell bras for un-doctored boobs, and they're selling bralettes and stuff now too. I buy their stuff sometimes because it's good quality, nothing to do with the size of my boobs.

    The article's assumptions are stupid. As has been posted, V. Secret sells panties, bralettes, cosmetics, perfume and those hideous track suits. The brand's decline is due to being is just old and using boring models.

    I agree. Bleached blondes with lanky bodies and huge boobs were a thing 80s-2008. Now people favor brunettes/black/rainbow hair colors and either implantless bodies and/or hourglass big booty fitness shapes. TBH I think the big boobs blonde thing is really outdated and boring IMO. But I also prefer brunettes over blondes for sure.

    No one cared about my big ass and dark hair/fair skin in the 90s-00s but now I get complimented on all of those things which is really bizarre to me lol.

    I've also had a lot of guys, especially artists, tell me I should have skipped the implants even though they have the big naturals look. I'm glad I got them because they match my body type and aesthetic ideals for my frame, but guys tended to prefer implantless.

    Also, I have huge implants and still wear bralettes just fine. Same with every girl I know who has implants. It's natural big boobs that can't really wear bralettes. So those conclusions make no sense.

    VS has some of the tackiest color schemes and patterns I've ever seen on bras. Not to mention their PINK line tackiness. Sweatsuits are outdated in general and very juicy couture tracksuit era. Outdated.

    The only way they'll see an increase is if they jump on the health goth trend and get rid of the tacky rainbow weird outdated pattern shit they sell, and go minimal. I actually hope they don't jump on that or any trend because Zara and H&M realized they needed to do that and then started blantantly ripping off tiny organic local designers and it's just evil and sad. Trends come from a small collective of freelance local designers in major cities, and major brands caught on and now jack the tiny designer's shit off social media the day after it's posted. So sad.

    As for lingerie, they need to go even higher end a la agent provocateur before it went tackyzilla too, and stick to classic minimals otherwise. You can do creative cuts and still be minimal. You do not need metallic green zebra stripe with polka dots on a creative cut. And also not at all. They built their brand on that tacky shit though so I'm not holding my breath on any changes.

    I find their bras very uncomfortable on my fake boobs. Plus the sizing is all over the place. They're stuff is more for high school and college kids. Remember a time when VS made lingerie for women, not little girls? This pink line is garbage.

    ive always loved making jokes about pink, more so when someone has a black hoody, or totebag with PINK written in white or silver sequence or something and rubbing my eyes and screaming to my wife that ive gone colourblind. is even more adorable when i do go in there to look for things and some of the super basic teen somethings look absolutely horrified
