A Dutch inventor (female) has created a garment that smoothes out the wearer’s cleavage, keeping it wrinkle-free. Picture a racerback sports bra worn backwards and you get the idea. You wear it while you sleep and it spreads the breasts apart so folds don’t become permanent. (Oh, those clever Dutch. Weren’t wooden shoes enough?)

Okay, that was a long lead-in to the topic I’m blogging about—mature breasts. Big or small, breasts luxuriate as they grow older, relaxing and growing comfortable in their own skin. Ironically, despite our youth-besotted-meta-breast-obsessed culture, this seems to be the most appropriate moment to show them off, wrinkles and all. Why? Well, there’s actually a very practical reason to go “lower.” Higher necklines exaggerate the distance between face and bust (especially on those “bad bra” days) making the breasts appear much lower than they are. But if you go with a lower neckline, you notice the curves, not the distance. Charlotte Tarantola’s Ribbed Top with Ruffle and Jewel Detail is a great way to flatter what you’ve earned.

You could, of course, layer a cami or shell underneath if you want to expose a little less cleavage, but the point is: don’t hide it. Low necklines aren’t just for the young who flash cleavage to encourage reproduction-based pairing. Older women—those who’ve passed reproductive age—are revealing the eternal mystery and joy that dwell in that soft, dark crevice where children have nursed, tears have been shed and nuzzles much enjoyed.

How and when joy, love and experience (read: forgiveness) got stripped out of the definition of sexy is probably a discussion for another blog, so until then if you got it, flaunt it. People who dwell on cleavage wrinkles be damned.
