Britney Spears is an offender.

A third of women says it looks cheap and men say it is a turn-off.

It is VBS - visible bra straps - this summer's biggest fashion faux pas.

Seeing red: Gwen Stefani strikes out with a bold frilly number. Britney Spears, who usually prefers to not wear a bra at all, puts her straps on show

Women usually commit the offence when they dress for warmer weather so there are likely to be many cases of VBS in the coming months.

A survey found that 57 per cent of women say it is this summer's worst style crime.

A third claimed it looked cheap. Even men - 42 per cent of them - say VBS is unattractive.
