One trick to keeping spaghetti straps in their place is to use double-sided tape or fashion tape. Fashion tape is a clear adhesive that will stick to your skin.

They are straps of silk ribbon that go around the bra strap and snap together, creating a loop with the strap in the middle. Once you identify why your straps are falling down, here are 4 ways for how to keep them up and secure!
For most of the problems above, the bra is probably not adjusted properly. The straps should be snug against your skin, and the band should be level all the way around you. You should still be able to insert one finger underneath the straps. This positioning secures the straps in place. If you have broad, squared shoulders, finding a bra with wide-set straps will be a great option for you.
This allows the straps to sit comfortably in the center of your shoulders, where your shoulders naturally create a slight curve. For women with narrow shoulders, avoid bras that are specifically designed with wide-set straps, because these will easily slip down and show through your clothing.
Instead, look for bras with standard straps. A crossed-back bra or convertible straps that you can switch to form an X at the back will also make your straps lean inwards instead of falling to the outer sides. If all else fails, a racerback bra with front closure are least likely to make your straps fall down. Typically, padded straps are designed for women with larger breasts, because they provide additional comfort and can alleviate some of the pressure on your shoulders.
Padded straps have the added benefit of reducing slippage. Make sure the right materials are all secured with seams for better grip on the shoulders. A bra clip, also called j-hook, transforms your back straps into crossed-back straps. Similar in function, an elastic strap holder is an additional horizontal strap at the back that pulls your original straps inward, preventing slippage.

Centre panel — the centre front fitting should be snug to the chest wall with no gaps or digging in.
Band — the band should be secure and level all the way round, not riding up at the back. The band should sit snug underneath the breast tissue. Wires — if underwired the wires should lie flat.
