I wear tank tops every day, usually the tight, active wear types & between my body & their cut; they are always “low cut”. I am 50 (wow, it’s so weird to write that).
I wear them due to sensory issues, as I hate sleeves & layers & also because I’m tall. Blouses don’t fit me right; they are too short & the buttons strain around my chest area. Just to accommodate those two issues, I’d have to buy plus-sizes & then I disappear into shapelessness. Obviously I don’t dress like that for meetings at schools, kid-related events or church but I’d be miserable if I couldn’t dress like that the majority of the time.
I do have “overflow” issues with a few of my tops that I have to be aware of but other than that; I don’t feel inappropriate at all. To be honest, I don’t really care if someone thinks I am. Neither do I care if it is “inviting the wrong kind of attention” & I don’t care if men look.
I will only have to worry when they don’t look, anymore.
I guess I’ve entered the age group where Im not young enough to get away it yet not old enough to know any better. I am, however, old enough to not give a crap!
Why it's his wife's body. If I didn't want to wear underwear you think I'd give a seet if my wife was OK with it?
No studies showing wearing a bra has a positive health effect.
He brought it up and it was kind of random. I was curious.
Considering the feelings of one's spouse is a favorable attribute in a marriage partnership.
And your last statement certainly depends on the size.
Inappropriate. Once a woman reaches 30, 31 max, her wardrobe should only be purchased from the Harriet Carter catalog or QVC’s Quacker Factory. Maybe the Blair catalog if she’s feeling thirsty.

LOL, so funny. I'm quite a bit over 35 and you'd have to pay me to wear clothes from any of those god-awful places.
Hey, we were the rock and roll generation. We have to strike a happy medium. We're not going gently into those pastel tops with cats on them and elastic waist jeans....hopefully, never!
I think that, if in good shape, low cut tops are OK until about, say around the later 40's. That being said, I have seen older women with sun damaged, "crinkly" skin wearing low-cut tops and thought "yuck". I mean what's the point? Just looks "low rent".
We have to adopt a "trendy yet tasteful" approach in our older years. Accentuate what still looks good, but it's time to just go ahead and cover some things up.
I see lots of women over 35 wearing tops that are really low cut, sometimes so low cut you can see their breasts. While it may be okay for younger women much like midriffs how do you feel about women over 35 and lower, really lower cut tops?
If you can see the woman's navel then it is excessively low-cut. Otherwise, meh.

If it really bugs you..........................
.................................then don't hang out with me or my belly dancing sisters.
Your body is way hotter than many younger women. The OP feel like you and me can't wear certain clothes because we are so old...lol
Some people can't get through their thick skulls that age is just a number.
Thank you And amen sister.
It's funny how once I crossed the threshold into "older" status I can no longer look and be in your face sexy. That's the problem that I have - older women being rendered as non-sexual beings that need to be covered up and "have class". I believe in dressing for the occasion. There's a time for classy and then there's times when I just want to wear a dress up to my navel because - guess what? - I *feel* great wearing it. Same as when I was 27.
