Found them in their Gen-X mom’s closet? I remember a lot of the girls I dated back in the early nineties wore them because they were pretty cheap. You could get them in K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. When I met my now wife she would wear Wal-Mart jeans and these bras (also Wal-Mart) that must have been designed in the fifties and had this slightly conical look to them. This country was broke as fuck in the early nineties and we looked it.
Madonna is a well known, more modern wearer of those kinds of bras, but… they were actually a pretty common type of bra going back to the 40s - 60s, worn by Marilyn Monroe and many other actresses and models / pin up girls.

I swear the conical bras were popular because of Madonna! I don’t know if that’s actually the case but that’s what I always associated them with, lol

So… Madonna too was actually doing a retro callback, as Gen Zers are now doing with ‘mom jeans’.
