Yesterday, the Daily Mail ran a brief photo piece about Selma Blair’s outfit on a recent shopping trip in Los Angeles. Throughout the article, the author captioned photos with little quips like, “Feeling risque!” and “Close call! Selma almost gave the shop assistants an eyeful.” While I think Blair’s outfit is pretty cute and totally makes sense, particularly September southern California weather-wise, when it comes to a casual shopping trip. Would I wear it? No, but that’s because I look rubbish in stripes. Would I wear something like it? Hell yeah, because side boob is
I think side boob is great. Believe me, I know that’s a bizarre thing to say, but it’s true: it’s like the mysterious older cousin of cleavage who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup and always has a sexy stare in her eyes. Whenever I see a girl wearing something that slightly exposes the side, I automatically am more attracted to her. It’s a subtly awesome way to show your body off, which I find lovely.
For years, I always wore bras with shaped cups and underwire because, being a 34D, I thought I had to. However, during the latter part of college upon gaining some girlfriends who were huge fans of the no-bra look, as well as unlined pure lace bras, I started trying the look out. And I loved how it looked on me. If I felt like wearing something a bit more (as the Daily Mall might call it) risque, I would wear a shirt or dress that showed a bit of side boob. Whereas low-cut tops often gave me comical amounts of cleavage, I could still feel sexy without feeling exposed (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it definitely gets chilly, man) when I wore something that showed more skin from the profile.
Plus, it’s insanely comfortable to not wear a bra. I can’t believe I went nearly 21 years without realizing the joys of not having any pain because of my bras. My skin feels like it can “breathe” so much better without a stifling piece of thick fabric on it. Plus, I have a scarification piece and a tattoo that never get any airtime due to my disdain for wearing bikinis, so the sideways low-cut look works in that sense, too.
So, in conclusion: I think the no bra, side-boob-rocking look is fantastic and am in full support (so to speak, hyuck hyuck). I’ve also included a few more examples at the bottom of post as proof that it is awesome almost always.
What do you think: side boob or no side boob? That is the question, my lovelies!

I am not a fan of side boob. I think it’s distracting and tasteless. There are ways to be sexy without saying, “Hey, if I turn this way, or bend over a little you can see my tits!”
It’s a rude cry for attention.
guest
Trashy. You might as well flash your whole tit.

i like side boob. just what happens when the nipple falls out?
guest
a woman is so much more than the sum of her boobs (or side boobs in this case). that may label me a bit prudish, but my imagination appreciates not so much exposure.
I do agree with you wholeheartedly (wholechestedly?!?) that you should be comfortable in your clothes, so if you wish to ditch the ‘over the shoulder boulder holder’? by all means do so.

WHO SAYS NAY TO TITS? BLASPHEMOUS, ALL OF YOU!

I prefer underboobage but I will take what I can get.

If your boobs look good without a bra, then go for it I say.
At a 32E, I would look like a saggy mess. *sigh*
guest
It just won’t work. If you’re over a C cup you’ll end up looking like a skank. If you’re under a C cup you’ll look like you’re trying too hard to be sexy but ends up looking ridiculous like the first girl in the picture lol. So no one should do it.
guest
I find it alluring.

“Would I wear something like it? Hell yeah, because side boob i…” Is there more to this sentence, or shall we fill in the blanks?
Side boob is trashy, period.
guest
I wholeheartedly agree with @LKJSlain@xanga. I also am not a fan of the no bra look.

@LKJSlain@xanga - I see what you mean, although I think that showing your body’s skin is not inherently attention-seeking.
@eatdrinkandbemaryy@xanga - That’s where the wonders of double-sided tape come in! If you have a shirt or dress that doesn’t sit quite right and might move, you just get a piece of double-sided tape to keep things in the right spot!
@Pure_Taint@xanga - Sometimes I admittedly still feel like a saggy mess, in a way, but it’s so much more comfortable than a bra so it’s worth it to me, haha. But I also found a few semi-tight tank tops from H&M recently that kind of “hug” my breasts in like a sports bra without any bra. I have a medical thing that makes bras really uncomfortable to wear so these solve my dilemma and look adorable. Perhaps you could check there!

@SuburbanSweetheart - The cut text says “awesome”; if you go to the home page, you can see it.

@samescobar - I don’t know. I’ve pretty much worn a bra daily since the 5th grade. Hell even walking around in a bathrobe after a shower feels…off.
Yeah, after my spine surgeries I couldn’t wear a bra for about 6 weeks each time and it drove me crazy.

@Pure_Taint@xanga - Guh, ouch! Sorry that happened. I just have a nerve disorder and fibrocystic breasts so it’s nothing that serious, but it definitely makes bras unpleasant to deal with.
guest
@samescobar - I kinda know what you mean. The whole left side of my back still has nerve damage, so wearing bras can sometimes feel very strange.
daisy / 597 posts
@samescobar - I respectfully disagree. When it’s a personal area such as breasts, bottoms or… even O_O… the attention that you’re going to get is wrong in nature. Men enjoy seeing them for sexual reasons, and women… why would they be ogling your boobs unless they’re attracted as well…Unless they’re mothers and are offended, or little girls are are curious.
Hence, the only attention you’re going to be getting here is “the wrong kind”
So, why do it?
Also, to be clear. Every single woman that I’ve EVER seen try to do this look IRL, I’ve ended up seeing the whole thing because of movement, positioning, etc…
So, I just don’t understand it.
guest
Side boobs are hot, but I wouldn’t expose them in public.

@LKJSlain@xanga - I think that telling women they’ll get the “wrong kind of attention” is blaming them somehow for the way other people feel or act when, in fact, it’s not in their control. Perhaps it’s in part because of where I lived, but I saw women’s cleavage and men with their shirt off on a pretty regular basis in public. If I chose to catcall them or something, that would be my choice to react that way, not theirs. I think it’s up to each individual how they behave as an adult. Plus, I’m all about not being ashamed or feeling the need to cover up because each culture is different and has different norms; what might attract stares in one might be called matronly in another and vice versa, so I would rather just not bother with basing my appearance on others’ feelings.
But I do appreciate your respectful disagreement! It’s nice to hear someone explain a dissenting opinion politely.
guest
Personally, I would feel uncomfortable showing side boob. As a general notion, I am not a fan of the look, but I suppose it depends on the perkiness of breasts in question, looseness of the top/dress, degree of side boob showing and occasion/place the look was worn. I think a little at a party/club is intriguing, a lot showing seems like the wearer is trying a little too hard to get attention.
guest
My side boob would make people cry.
guest
It’s really trashy, no matter how attractive the woman might be.
So, a massive NAY from me.
daisy / 597 posts
@samescobar - Oh, I definitely agree about cultural norms, etc…
However, people are attracted to breasts for sexual reasons. I just don’t think it’s wise.

How is it any trashier than wearing a low-cut shirt?
I love a good side-boob.
LOVE IT.

also: “it’s like the mysterious older cousin of cleavage who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup and always has a sexy stare in her eyes.”
YESYESYES
guest
Nope. I’m not trying to give men another reason to sexually harass me and think it’s okay just cuz my tits are out. I mean, even I see the cocktail waitresses walking around with thir boobs out and they get all mad people are staring at them. Even people like me who have no interest in them! So giving people another reason to gawk at my boobs disrespectfull.. not happening.
But if some women don’t mind it, go for it. I just won’t take part into sexifying the world more. Enough perves out there!
guest
I say go for it, it will give all the criticizers a reason to feel superior.

@xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - And that’s fine with me! If people base their self value and status level on how another person chooses to dress themselves, then that’s there prerogative.
Personally, I base my worth on how I feel about my self, but to each her own. If the way that I dress is somehow helping to boost another’s person’s self-esteem, then actually, I don’t really mind.

Too saggy at close to 60, but my daughter-in-law, at 36 EEE, says, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” So that’s the sum I think of today’s thinking, but not mine. I’d rather focus on the face, and what’s coming out of the brain, than what I see someone’s girls doing. Not a moral call here, not saying the girl is wrong, because I could just as well be wrong, it’s just a personal feeling. Also, my daughter always goes sans bra, but she’s small breasted, and I’d give that one a go were I small as well. I mean, what’s the point?

@WanJing@twitter - WOO you go girl. Side boobers unite!
guest
I like seeing side boob.. but I wouldn’t share mine.
guest
It’s sleazy.
guest
nah, I don’t love it. I feel like it always shows the boob from its most unflattering angle…the one that demontsrates how it sags. even some totally unsaggy boobs look somewhat saggy from the side to me. Of course being (not) used to something might play a role too. I remember when women started wearing skinny jeans I thought most of them had fat arses, because the behind is by far the largest part you see which was not extreme in boot cut jeans. Still I think it’s just flattering for really small boobs that don’t ‘hang down’ in the slightest.
guest
I don’t mind it. It’s cute. ^__^
guest
I think it looks ugly.
guest
Maybe if I was thinner, and felt comfortable in my skin, I would show side boobs. =\ I also can’t go out without a bra because my boobs are too big, and I think they look saggy. -_-
guest
Oh dear lord if you like the way a shirt or dress looks like on you and it shows a little side boob
so freaking what.
guest
not a good look.
guest
I don’t get how it’s trashy or sleazy. Those words seem to me like they should be applied to peoples’ actions, not their choice of dress.
And side boob is the shit. I like it. Just can’t pull it off. I’m a 32C and it just looks bad on me. I’ve tried.
guest
I am indifferent.
