I shouldn't "know" either way, and I'm definitely not looking. So there would be a problem if it's unavoidably apparent. Why should an employee's indecency have any part to do with my day and my responsibilities in an office setting? (of course there are exceptions, like sports/fitness/showbiz environments, where indecency is part of the job you signed up for)

What I don't like is the suggestion that your fellow workers are interested in seeing someone who doesn't know how to dress appropriately... especially the suggestion that it's appealing. Stop assuming that your workmates are secretly attracted to you-- that's my biggest peeve, honestly. When you depend on work for your livelihood, you don't care who works there, or more specifically, how they look. Personally, I just want to work for how many hours, then go home to what's really important to me, while waiting for my check.

To be fair, we've all gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and your attire may not be as sharp as it usually is. but it's not "okay," and it's not something that I would tolerate from an employee if it's apparent on a regular basis.

Being squeezed when I'm sick with bronchitis is not easy. Breathing is way more important to me than worrying about showing too much or coughing my head off when I need to be on the phone. I work from home so I don't have to wear one all day long. I tend to wear one when I go out to run errands only because the hot flashes make wearing layers more uncomfortable than wearing a bra.

Default Braless..

The first thing I throw off once I get home from work is my bra!!


Stupid uncomfortable thing..if it's not the straps slipping down; it's the underwires!!


Until one day on a Sweatshirt Friday, I got home and realized I forgot to put mine on..oh well, it's not like anyone noticed..my boobs are like two nearly deflated balloons anyway..


At least I don't have to tuck them into my pants...yet..HA!!

I've seen that before in the sales and marketing departments where I work.

I once walked in on one of them in the bathroom taping her breasts together.

Some of you should really look into a professional bra fitting. If your bra is uncomfortable you probably are not wearing the correct size. They really aren't supposed to hurt.

I wear one because I have to, but if I can wear clothes that cover me adequately I will skip it.

I think women won't truly be equal as long as we have to manipulate our bodies in a hurtful way to please others. It's the modern equivalent of a corset. The only somewhat male equivalent is a tie, and I rarely see that even in corporate America. (Except lawyers, bankers, and execs)



First of all, pretty much every man not working outdoors wears an undershirt of some sort. The undershirt is the equivalent to a bra in terms of dress code. No one wants to see a man's nipples through his white button-up either.

Second, in the words of my wife, walking around braless all day is annoying. Large bouncing breasts aren't comfortable from what I'm told.

I have work both in an office environment and outside of one, and from my experience, men outside wear an undershirt more often than once inside.

I suspect the difference might be depending on where one lives.

Agree. Though I do wear the right size, and some have a 10-15 hour limit! I haven't met one that is a 24 hour bra.
