I almost never see a suit around here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1934097 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:17:47 +0000 looch 1934097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: see, I don't. To me, a polo/golf shirt is summer business casual. Professional is a suit and tie for a man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1934039 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 07:11:33 +0000 ElbieKay 1934039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't watch the news on TV. I read it in the internet. I really try to ignore TV as much as possible because there are too many commercials.</p> <p>I have worked in offices though. I tend to run warm. So, I almost always wear layers, and the bottom layer is almost always sleeveless. It's the only defense I have against sweating sometimes.</p> <p>But while I might sit at my desk that way, I would never attend a meeting or visit a client that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933688 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 21:06:22 +0000 Caly 1933688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: well dang, sounds like me &amp; my B cup boobs have missed their calling :silly: </p> <p>I didn't realize so many people had such strong feelings regarding sleeveless dresses/tops at work. I wear them, especially shift dresses, etc all the time. I'd never wear anything slinky or with small straps, cleavage, etc. And to answer the original question, I feel the same is perfectly fine for a news anchor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933657 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 20:57:20 +0000 CRGmama 1933657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldnt even begin to care if a news anchor had a sleeveless top or dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933640 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 20:50:33 +0000 alphagam84 1933640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there's anything wrong with going sleeveless, it's not like the upper arm is a scandalous body party. I'm 30 and have plenty of sleeveless dresses/tops I wear to work while looking professional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933497 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 19:43:34 +0000 Corduroy 1933497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a curmudgeon. I think armpits (therefore sleeveless dresses) are unprofessional. Maybe its because I work in the food industry and we sweat a lot. I also don't like the look of the morning show hosts. It's like they aren't allowed to wear sleeves or pants.</p> <p>I blame Michelle Obama... but I'm jealous of her arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933456 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 19:16:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1933456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I don't think they are unprofessional either, but to me it's the equivalent of a more casual professional look similar to a woman's completely exposed arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933453 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 19:15:20 +0000 StbHisMrs 1933453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never really crossed my mind. I wear sleeveless tops and dresses in the summer months, usually under a blazer or cardigan that I remove when I'm too warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933407 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:43:19 +0000 blackbird 1933407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think of polos and such as professional </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933326 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:45:09 +0000 looch 1933326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: I would be fine with an anchor in a golf shirt, which to me in more mainstream than a tank top on a man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933314 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:39:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1933314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: true, but they do wear short sleeve shirts on air when they anchor "on location" sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933299 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:33:37 +0000 mamimami 1933299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To answer the original question, I have no problem with a sleeveless shift or a sleeveless sweater. A camisole or halter, no way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933286 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:26:01 +0000 Maysprout 1933286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine. It would be weird to see anchor men in sleeveless tops so I guess a bit of a double standard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933280 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:22:36 +0000 looch 1933280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think news anchors are professionals like office execs, so I am fine with sleeveless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933269 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:18:52 +0000 mamimami 1933269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: typical target demographic for a local news station tends to be females in their late 20s early 30s, and we females often find "sexy" females unappealing in that news context, so while I have never heard of the cup size rule, it makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933265 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:18:10 +0000 Dandelion 1933265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't care at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933253 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:11:52 +0000 yoursilverlining 1933253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: clearly some news channels are ok with assets that distract from the news :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933250 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:10:51 +0000 blackbird 1933250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Unless you're Erin Andrews, i guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933248 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:09:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 1933248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a rule, I think of sleeveless as somewhere between "less professional (than a sleeved option)" and "unprofessional"; but I think some women can pull off a very professional dress that is sleeveless. </p> <p>I think for the news it's distracting, and that in and of itself is enough for me to say it's unprofessional for news anchors. </p> <p>This is a weird random fact but someone once told me that news channels don't like to hire women with more than a B cup because boobs are well, distracting :silly: I have no idea if this is true, but this thread reminded me of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933241 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:05:33 +0000 blackbird 1933241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha some of these outfits I wouldn't think are very professional, either...a crochet knit tank? is it the 1980's again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops/page/2#post-1933227 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:57:43 +0000 Cherrybee 1933227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'm worried now!

I was thinking at least a wide strap sheath.</p> <p>@Cherrybee: hey, just one woman's opinion and this one has dimply arms that stay covered. </p> <p>@mediagirl: I took a picture of a Telemundo anchor in pum pum shorts &amp; halter top not too long ago on my phone. OMG I turned the channel one morning and was so distracted by what she wore that I didn't realize she was speaking Spanish for a few minutes. Our local Miami Fox station has the most glamorous news anchors. They show off their arms, breasts and of course their killer smiles. When Mr. Lime watches the morning news that's what he turns on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops#post-1933206 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:46:55 +0000 stiletto_mom 1933206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Yea, she's smoking hot. </p> <p>Throw in a properly fitted women's suit and she would give off a more "sexy powerful" vibe than a "sexy ditzy" vibe. </p> <p>@mauxie: I think some of these ladies need to go on What Not to Wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops#post-1933205 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:46:51 +0000 Bao 1933205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't bother me, never even thought of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops#post-1933201 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:45:55 +0000 lilyann 1933201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the cut, style and fabric matters more than if it is sleeveless or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-women-anchors-in-sleeveless-dressestops#post-1933196 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:42:23 +0000 mauxie 1933196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Haha! one of the anchors you posted does news for my area.
