Choosing to not wear a bra at work sounds like an individual choice and shouldn't be a concern of anyone but you. If you choose to not wear one and you feel more comfortable that way then continue to not wear one.

I believe it is a personal choice and as in your private life, shouldn't give it a second thought. I think it would be somewhat problematic if you were self-conscious about your body and any insecurities were to rear its head in your behavior. A good example is at a clothed beach when a woman is constantly adjusting her bikini. Or as you mentioned, when the noticeable switch occurred at the previous job.

Europeans are much more relaxed in this aspect than Americans and I would discourage you from making a change. It is much healthier to go braless and as a male I can't express enough how much we appreciate it too. I find it absolutely beautiful, not in a sexual way, when I see any woman with the confidence to go braless without a care on her mind!

Those who watch your breasts (with intention to enjoy or create problems) will do that regardless if you have a bra or not. So do what makes you more comfortable.

Hi Jayne. I admire your principles. It's a matter of personal choice and in a professional capacity it shows integrity conviction for what you believe in. I am sure there will be people who object but that's their problem. If more women did it it would cease to be a big deal.

I think some people will always be jealous of others and from your pictures that will be easily engendered in the insecure. You're hot! You have great boobs- they have to live with it (lucky them)!

In my 57 years I have never complained about seeing a braless woman, or a wardrobe malfunction for that matter ;-) The only ones I ever heard complain, were other women. Which brings to mind an old saying.

Why would most women rather strip naked in front of a group of men, than a group of women? Because women tend to be critical, men are just greatfull ;-)

More power to you.

It is the freedom for you to do it that is important to me.

I was recently in a hot southern part of Europe for work recently (with nearby naturist beach, so it is not an alien concept there) and a fairly senior manager came out of her office to talk to me and some others in a highly air conditioned office. It became very clear she was braless and the guys went quiet and stared at her. Now she is a very attractive middle aged lady of generous proportions.

I did too notice but kept eye to eye contact and smiling as we talked about work topics.
I am not sure my colleagues approved of her work wear, the lack of participation from them was embarrassing.

I certainly noted her condition too and not just in the sense I liked to ogle at what she looked like and the very prominent points the AC had decided to make for her.

Fair play she ignored the others. She even came back to chat more socially to me from the next office when we were near the end of the day.

Treat a person fairly and show respect then they return that respect.
Ladies if you like you should be able to go braless wherever you want.

Jayne if you feel more comfortable not wearing a bra then keep doing it who will be offended if you flash a bit of breast or nipple it's the same as men not wearing underwear it's what ever makes you feel comfortable.

I much prefer the natural shape and movement of women's breasts and think a bra is an unnecessary piece of attire. As a man I can say we probably decided bra wearing would be a good thing for women to do. Women rebel - don't wear bras!!!

My wife is really uncomfortable going bra-less in public. While she has small breasts, she has larger nipples and they are easily seen through most material. She is self conscious of that, and I dont blame her. I try to encourage her to because its more comfortable physically (what she tells me), but rarely will do it.

I definitely do blame men for why more women dont do it. But then I think women would be more prone to notice as well because of a judgy society.
