Women who work in offices, have you ever gone braless to work?



  • No, it would be too unprofessional.
  • Yes, because I had a bad sunburn.
  • Yes, because of a medical reason that did not allow me to wear a bra.
  • Yes, because I was trying to get the attention of a guy I liked.
  • Yes, because I enjoy the attention from the guys.
  • Yes, because my breasts are small enough that I don't need a bra.
  • Yes, because the outfit I was wearing didn't look good with a bra.
  • Yes, because I just wanted to feel sexy.

Can't vote because IMO, what looks adorable supported can be discouraging when sagging on their own! :)

PS: had a friend who would not only work braless, she'd attend church braless too (A-cup).

Yes, I have gone braless to work, because I felt sexy. Luckily I am in my late thirties and my breasts, which are sort of average size, are still really pert, I think they are one of my best assets. My nipples are also nearly always erect so to go braless is a real turn on for me and I suppose some men!!!

I said no, it looks unprofessional. And in many companies, you might be sent home for it.

Under a blouse AND jacket, it probably wouldn't be noticable. BUT, IMO, if going braless IS noticable and distracting, then it not only sends the wrong message to employers & coworkers, but it compromises one's credibility at work. To me, it's like a male coworker showing up shirtless. Kind of hard to take him seriously.

I agree with you to some extent. Thing is, if I feel sexy I always try to feel even more sexy and if that means going braless I do. I don't work in a large company and very often there is only me in the office so I don't suppose it matters too much. When a male client comes in though, he will very often not go out without spending alot of money!!

I voted unprofessional.

I wouldn't need to expose myself to feel sexy--if anything, I've had to do the opposite. I do however, wear underwear that makes me feel sexier....but obviously, no one anywhere can "see" them....it's my own little secret. ;-)

It's a misconception that one has to blatantly expose themselves(or some parts) to be seen as sexy....when nothing could be further from the truth. Acting and dressing appropriately for the appropriate setting is "classy" and classiness is sexy....

I couldn't agree more. It is good to leave some things to the imagination. My DH married me because I did this.
Fortunately, I can go braless to work because I actually work with my DH and he really doesn't mind.

I voted unprofessional. I work for a conservative office & although I have small perky breasts you can still tell when I'm going braless. Maybe like another post said if you wore a jacket you couldnt tell. I do however have two co-workers, one a large b cup & the other a large c cup who both have implants & they both go braless all the time at work. The thing is because they are fake, they look the same with out a bra as they do with one on. I didn't even know they were going braless until they told me. Even now that I know I still cant tell with them, but a lot of women can't get away with that with out people noticing.

I'm 100% natural so the jiggling, etc. is a big consideration for me. LOL! Going braless isn't comfortable either.

But hey, who doesn't enjoy feeling sexy? I agree with Rain that you can do that other ways than exposing your body. If I feel sexy that day, I will still feel sexy in a turtleneck.

I just think that you're at work to work, not tease or provide titillation for your male coworkers. Let their wives and GF's do that for them.

My DH would take issue with me going braless in a mixed office, as well.

I had a co-worker (who eventually turned into a girlfriend) once who NEVER wore a bra! She had very small (a-cup) but perky breasts, so she said she never felt the need to wear a bra. She did, however, almost always wear a camisole instead...VERY SEXY!

I am a male and I have a friend who I was involved with when we worked in the same office and she is a 42C so while her breasts are nice and firm, her answer would be no. Plus I agree with leaving something to the imagination and so is she. Though we did have fun in a theater when we went to see movie together stadium seating top row and she was wearing a bra top, thus she had no bra on and there was no one sitting around us. You can guess where my hands were, and she didn't mind.
