Cleavage (breasts)
Cleavage is the area between a woman's breasts lying over the sternum, and normally refers to what is visible with clothing including a low-cut neckline. In some cultures, display of cleavage is considered aesthetic or erotic, and may be associated with garments with low necklines that expose or highlight cleavage, such as ball gowns, evening gowns, lingerie, and swimwear. In these cultures, women have throughout history sought to enhance their physical attractiveness and femininity, within the context of changing fashions and cultural-specific norms of modesty of the time and place. The methods practised in appropriate contexts have included the accentuation and partial display of breasts, including cleavage. In some cultures any display of cleavage may be culturally taboo, illegal or otherwise socially disapproved.
== Terminology ==
The anatomical term for the area that constitutes a cleavage is intermammary cleft, intermammary sulcus or sulcus intermammarius.
Décolletage is the upper part of a woman's torso, between her waist and neck, comprising her neck, shoulders, back and chest, that is exposed by the neckline of her clothing. However, the term is most commonly applied to a neckline that reveals or emphasizes cleavage.
When the side of the breasts are uncovered, it is known as "side cleavage", "sidewinders" or "sideboob".〔Dunlap, Elizabeth. ("The glossary: can't pronounce the ingredient, the makeup artist's name, or even the product? Read our guide!" ), ''Marie Claire'', 2007-10-01 〕〔Lott, Tim. ("A boob too far" ), ''The Guardian'', 2006-08-06〕 In early 2010s side cleavage was identified as a fashion trend. Gabriele Hackworthy, fashion director at ''Harper's Bazaar'', said, "The look is unlikely to fade fast, with Yves Saint Laurent and Roberto Cavalli both pushing the silhouette next season."〔Imogen Fox, "(The side cleavage: a new trend is born )", ''The Guardian'', 29 May 2012〕〔Staff writer, "(Trend Watch: The Side Cleavage )", ''US Weekly'', June 27, 2011〕
