Cleavage (breasts)

Cleavage, in the context of breasts, refers to the V-shaped indentation or separation between a woman's breasts, typically when visible due to clothing that is cut low at the neckline. The degree of cleavage visible is dependent on factors such as breast size, breast shape, the type and fit of the bra worn, and the style of clothing.

The term "cleavage" in this context is primarily used to describe the visual presentation of the upper portion of the breasts. It can be associated with fashion, sexuality, and cultural perceptions of female attractiveness. Societal views on the appropriateness and acceptability of displaying cleavage vary significantly across cultures and time periods.

Historically, the degree of acceptable cleavage exposure has fluctuated with changing fashion trends and social norms. What is considered modest or immodest can depend heavily on cultural context, social setting, and individual interpretation.

While the term is often associated with clothing choices intended to accentuate or display this area, cleavage itself is a naturally occurring anatomical feature.
