  Office cleavage very commonplace

Cubicle cleavage is here to stay.

There is a lot of cleavage being shown in the workplace - and it's not just a summertime thing. Experts have noted that as the workplace becomes more casual, cleavage is more commonplace.

Women are showing off their chests more than ever in the workplace by wearing tight low tops or plunging necklines.

Elisabeth Squires, author of Boobs: A Guide to Your Girls says it's more than just a fashion trend.

She notes that two (no pun intended) things are at work: American breasts are getting larger while shirts and tops are getting smaller.

The layered look of tight low cut shirts covered by another top that covers the shoulders, but reveals the cleavage is very popular.

No matter where you shop, Squires notes...

 Form-fitting camis and midriff-exposing tops are on display for all ages to embrace. And that is part of the problem. What looks great on a 20-something female can look ridiculous on a 40-year-old.

To look great in these fashions, it takes an almost perfect form. The term "muffin top" didn't just pop up (okay, pun intended) for no  reason.

Even for those with perfect figures, there is a question of when to use breast power. What is appropriate for an evening out does not necessarily translate into a professional appearance at a board meeting. But that doesn't mean breasts should stay hidden.

What? Is Squires saying using "the girls" has power? Exactly.

"A recent study showed men photos of women in a workplace with large breasts showing cleavage, medium breasts and small breasts. When asked about who looked most professional and personable, the men chose the women with medium-sized breasts," 

Squires doesn't deal with the guys and their reaction to "the girls." I suspect that may be her next book.
