Cleavage Is Now "Out Of Fashion" According To Vogue

In regards to beauty and fashion, popular trends will always go in and out of style. Many of these trends will inevitably come full circle, like how ’90s chokers, leather jackets, and vintage rocker tees are currently all the rage. We pray that other trends, like shoulder pads and ’80s perms, remain locked away in the style time capsule for good. It makes sense that clothing, hair, and makeup fads will eventually be deemed “unfashionable” as the style scene changes and evolves. But what about a body part? Can a natural part of the human body really be labeled “out of fashion”? According to the December issue of British Vogue, the answer is absolutely. In Kathleen Baird-Murray’s “Desperately Seeking Cleavage,” the author suggests that the revival of high necklines in celebrity fashion, paired with undesirable comments on social media for women who choose to show off their bodies, has led to cleavage no longer being stylish. This claim has unsurprisingly led to a certain amount of uproar. Do you think cleavage can be deemed unfashionable?

A poll conducted by British Vogue asked women their opinions on covering up the cleav. I wasn’t shocked to see 67% of voters answered with, “If you have it, flaunt it.”

Jennifer Lawrence is one of many stars who opted for a conservative red carpet look at the Golden Globes this year. 

Katy Perry, who has never been shy about showing off her body, stepped out in this high-necked frock at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Show last week. 

Scarlett Johansson is one celebrity who almost always shows off a ton of cleavage at movie premieres, fashion events, and on the red carpet. However, she opted for this formal, high-necked blouse at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival this September.
