How Much Cleavage Do You Show At Work?

Check out Ryan's sympathy cleavage.

Check out Ryan's sympathy cleavage.

After work, I don’t usually go home first before I go out for drinks. I live too far uptown. So I’m always dressing for the office and my social activities. Now, I work with mostly women so I see cleavage all the time, every day. But even if your boss shows more than you and it's totally fine…you might go out that night with a guy who thinks you’re unprofessional and probably the idiot who never gets promoted. While casual dresses and jeans are the uniform in my industry, I once had a boyfriend who looked down on me for it. Even though everyone wore jeans. He totally judged me.

9 hot outfits that'll make him melt.

On a first date, you want your outfit to say, “I’m an ambitious professional with a job, but I also know enough to wear something feminine or cleavagey for you.” But I don't want to say, “I risked my job to look this good.”

7 cute first-date outfits for every type.

I constantly run into this problem when I have a date or party after work. You want to show your figure but also be professional. You want to suggest but not be suggestive. It’s a vicious cycle.

Do you wear cleavage to work? Do you work with men? Do you change outfits in your car? Go from cubicle to date?

P.S. Check out 3 pick-up shirts that men love (one of these is office-friendly!).

    I dont see a problem with a little cleavage.. now I'm not saying let it all hang out, but the amount you were showing in the picture shouldnt be an issue.I am a 44DD so I have a tough time NOT showing any.I say if you are comfortable and not getting googled at too much then wear it.You know the difference in attractive and plain sleazy,I can see you are a classy woman you will do just fine.

    Depends...do you want a guy to talk to your breast or look you in the eyes? If the attraction begins at the lower of the two, your head or your cleavage...then that should be a clue to where this possible encounter will end up and just how long it will last, not long by the way if it starts from the chest.

    Hi ladies, I'm a guy. I'd like to say that no one can judge how much cleavage you're showing without

    a picture to give the proper answer.

    Dubs, we can make that a quintuple entendre if I add the possibility of your boss unzipping his pants after you showing off yer cleavage. :P

    On this subject, I'm intrigued by the idea that people believe that cleavage is unacceptable at work, yet don't find it unacceptable to stare at women's breasts in order to make that determination in the first place.

    I'm puzzled, to say the least.

    I've worked with women who showed cleavage, bellies, tattoos, ect. Especially during the summertime, if the A/C is broken and we're all too hot and tired to care who is wearing what. As long as the woman in question isn't acting like the office good time girl, I don't see a problem.
