Showing skin may be the next big thing, especially with the amount of the flesh shown today - every where. But, keep this within the parameters, for if you do the same, i.e., at your work place, some thing nice awaits for you - FIRED.

Experts say that the game of skin-show is a passee now. For,they believe, people, especially at the work place are turned off looking at the revealing clothes. A study into 'breast habits' by U.S. experts suggests that revealing clothes actually put off males colleagues, and even take a toll on a woman's career prospects.

Nicknames "The Boob Lady", the study was commissioned by American author Elisabeth Squires on US TV. The study found that many working women were swapping their power-suits for more feminine, form-fitting clothes, such as scoop-neck tops and V-neck jumpers teamed with skirts.

Quite wittily, the author retorts, "Breasts are getting bigger but clothes seem to be getting smaller, especially in the workplace," the Daily Express quoted Squires, author of 'Boobs: A Guide To Your Girls', as saying. On the new-found discovery by women, women of all ages, Squires says, "What looks great on a 20-something female can look ridiculous on a 40-year-old."

To reach the conclusion, the researchers showed photographs of women in a generic workplace in various outfits, and with different bra sizes. Having shown it, men, at the end, found that the women, who looked the most professional, were the ones who were well dressed.

However, Squires admits that for some women, showing a bit of b*%s, can actually help to propel their career. And this was most valid for the ones with nice, perfectly toned figures. But with a condition: "Even for those with perfect figures, there is a question of when to use breast power. But the appearance of a small amount of breast can look really great," she concludes.

However, Squires warned that no woman should allow herself to 'be defined' by her breasts.
