Is Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Personally, I have no problem with it. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue and if you want to show off your girls to the rest of the world damn it you go ahead and do so.

The reason this came up is one of my friends was shopping at Kohl's with her husband over the weekend and when they went to check out the girl manning the register had the high beams obviously on so to speak. She said that she noticed the situation from about five feet away. Her husband, even after they left the store, indicated he hadn't noticed. He is of course a liar. Any man can notice an erect nipple through a shirt faster than he can find a $100 bill lying in the street. It's ingrained into our DNA. Regardless, her point was the Kohl's www.kohls.com is a conservative department store and that showing your nipples was not appropriate. I contended there were some people that had super nipples that were able to penetrate even the thickest bra and sometimes this situation was unavoidable.

Let me know what you think. Is it appropriate for your nipples to show through your shirt while you are at work?

inappropriate though at times unavoidable - one of my biggest fears

You're a riot!
I'm guessing nipple protrusion is going to happen whenever it damned well pleases. Just like the fine outline of a healthy woody.
As to this being either appropriate or inappropriate? Is it appropriate in the workplace for a man to have bedroom eyes or a woman to have full, pouty lips? I'm thinking the big picture in the Kohl's incident is that most woman don't take kindly to their man gaping at a pair of perky tits. I know it irks the hell out of me! BUT... such is life. Workplace, smirkplace. Know what I mean?

Great posting, by the way! I've really enjoyed this entire blog.
