No bra @ work. On client site. Everyday occurrence. Inappropriate or not? Dress code is business casual.

Currently judged as inappropriate but it shouldn't be. Why are our nipples a problem for other people? And why do we have to accommodate those people's aversion to seeing our child-feeding tubes?

Inappropriate. If you noticed it's a problem.

only inappropriate if you can clearly tell you aren’t wearing a bra, aka nipples poking through

I think some people can still look professional without one. That being said it is a safer bet to wear one. Those who often push the limits of professionalism are not always the ones that recognize it. People pay a lot of money for our services and often expect a certain level of professionalism from service providers in our industry. I look at my wardrobe, hair, nailcare, etc as part of a full professional representation, just as much as my ability to perform the services. For me, I would certainly consider a bra as part of my professional wardrobe.

If you can tell she’s not wearing a bra, then I think it’s not appropriate for the office.

Agree with Consultant 1. If you’re wearing a thick sweater in the winter and no one can tell then it’s not a big deal. But...if you have to ask then I wouldn’t.

Business casual does not mean skip underwear.

It is easy to go bra less in winter with sweaters but how for summer? I can say probably look cuter but I’m sure my nipples would show...sure there’s not even petals? I can make do with just petals

Those saying it’s inappropriate have clearly never noticed women w big boobs (who HAVE to wear bras) nip. I NIP SO HARD THROUGH MY BRA. My point is, I don’t think it should be considered inappropriate and y’all are just gonna have to deal.

like

Personally, I think it’s gross and very unladylike.. I also think its gross when I can see man nip through their shirts but men aren’t going to start wearing bras😂

I say that you should wake up for work and put all necessary clothes on (including undergarments).. but I won’t (outwardly) judge if you don’t!

like

Completely bra-less? Not even petals?

When I’m not pregnant or breastfeeding, I get away with it, and I do! But I have small boobs normally and you can’t see my nipples through my shirt. Bra tops are the best!

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
