use of "subtle"

Hi. I've got a question to the native speakers of English. Is it natural to say that a piece of clothing is SUBTLE? for example, a SUBTLE BRA?
Thanks in advance.

eg He wore a subtle tie. It did not have dramatic, vivid colours or patterns. Is this what you mean?

I rather mean that it is feminine, delicate, elegant, classic, etc. may it be used like that?
I suppose it sounds strange to you If you don't know what it means
