I would like your opinion please. Do you think cleavage at work is appropriate? I work at a large educational institution where all of our students are 18-30. I find it inappropriate, offensive, and improper. For a bar, fine, for a date, fine, I just don't think it's proper for the workplace. I was wondering if others feel this way or if I am really behind the times. The person I am referring to is 50+, wrinkled, saggy, and it looks unsightly because I think she also goes braless. Please let me know what you think...especially the guys...is this attractive to you? Thanks.
In a professional setting I don't think boob cleavage (severe showing of it on a constant basis) is proper......nor is showing butt cleavage with the low rise pants.

What has that got to do with anything?
In my opinion cleavage, wrinkled & saggy or smooth & pert, doesn't belong in a professional settting like an office or an educational institution. Especially if there is any kind of client contact.

Well it depends on what you call cleavage. Some people think showing any skin on the chest at all is inappropriate. LIke if you don't button the second button on your shirt. SORRY, I feel like I'm slowly being choked to death if I button it all the way up.
Too much cleavage is bad. But a little tasteful decolletage never hurt ANYONE.

If you, or anyone else in the office, can use it as a pencil holder then you're probably showing too much cleavage.
Though, don't know how that would work for the saggy, braless 50+ year old that the OP mentioned.
if its done in good taste, I dont see a problem. But if it is all out there, yes it is a distraction in a business setting.
what about this?
at my wifes work, there has been 2 women how have been "talked" to for having erect nipples showing thru there blouse. They were told to wear a padded bra in the future.
For most women its not a problem, but some women just have very long nipples and no bra is going to hide them when they are erect.
from a mans standpoint, I really dont care, its nice "eye" candy, but i am a guy and as most men, we love to see headlights and cleavage, workplace or not, I know, I am a pig, but what guy isnt.
I would assume MOST complaints come from other women, I dont see a man complaining that the hottie in accounting is dressing too sexy.
I hate ugly butt cleavage.........now on the right plumber........ well lets just say it may incline me to play with his pipe wrench.

I am still laughing out loud!
Anyway - I wanted to add that a woman does not need to show everything (or even for that matter anything) to be sexy! I am always amazed when women think that the more skin they show - the more a man will desire them.
It is all a matter of proper time and place. I wouldn't get mad if someone in the office portrayed themselves this way however I might think it is unprofessional and pathetic.
I personally think a fabulous conservative suit with a short skirt is alot more appealing and enticing, especially if a gal is tall with nice legs.

Real honest post and I think that most men would think this.
If a woman has HUGE boobs sometimes it doesn't matter what shirt she has on, there will be some cleavage. A nice blouse will still show cleavage unless it's buttoned up to the neck. In general if the whole outfit looks work appropriate then others should just deal with the cleavage. If the outfit is more like a "bar" or "date" outfit then management needs to put in a dresscode. I know of places where women are not allowed to wear short skirts that are well above the knee...
