Julie Hayward joins the Cleavage Police

I’ve been recruited to the cleavage police, it’s a branch of the fashion police but it focuses exclusively on women’s chests – and no I’m not a pervert, but I believe that wrinkled, parchment-like top halves are best kept covered up.

A friend recruited me in a café, I was mid slurp into my latte when – ‘look, over there’, she instructed me in an urgent whisper – I glanced in the direction of her in-discreetly pointing finger, to witness a woman of a certain age, bending over to place her cup down. She wore a low cut top and she really shoud have opted for a polo neck.

It’s understandable my friend’s more sensitive to breast flesh, as she’s had a mastectomy. She acknowledges this makes her more aware of the decollete, but I agree that everyone aged 50 plus, unless they’ve been prudent with sunbathing and lavish with the moisturiser should cover up their cleavages.

The saying ‘less is more’, only works with make-up for the more mature amongst us. Higher is definitely best with the neck line.
