So I’m here at work, doing my job but what is not typical is that I’m wearing a bra under my regular dress shirt. I’m a size 38AA to A. I finally found a couple bras I like that mostly fit well with little or no unfilled cup. This gives a smooth look under my shirts. I’ve been doing this for about two weeks now and the more I wear my bras, the more comfortable I get with it. I still try to hide this but also am getting to the point where I’m almost ready to not care if someone pats me on the back and realizes that I’m wearing a bra…..almost.
I work in a mostly male industry but more females are entering it all the time. It’s office work – all computer & paper work so it’s not the testosterone filled environment some work in, but it is still a mostly male industry. 20 years ago, it used to be the only female in the office was a secretary (now called administrative assistants). Now we have about 5% of women who are in other positions.
So wearing the bra daily has been nice. I feel like it is right. I’ve worn a bra to work before, but never on a daily basis. Part of the reason I didn’t do it on a regular basis is because I couldn’t find a good fitting bra that was not one of the molded cups that gives you a chest whether you have any or not. Those kind of showed through & so I had to be careful when I wore them. The other part is because my wife would always say she could see my bra under my shirt (she actually saw the larger chest the molded cups made).
In addition, I have been wearing the bras at home with my t-shirts & shorts. The bra is barely noticeable even under a loose t-shirt. If my kids have noticed they haven’t said a word about it.
So why am I posting this? Because I needed to tell someone what was on my chest (but I don’t want to get it “off my chest”) and I think telling my wife all this would be too much for her right now. She’s supportive. She knows that I’ve been doing this and has been quiet. I don’t think she likes it. So I don’t want to overload her with my thoughts, feelings etc. In time we will talk about it, but for now I’ll let it go unsaid.
Thanks for listening.
Update:
It's hard to believe that is't been over a month of wearing the bra to work. So far no comments, stares or funny looks. In fact, no one is treating me any different. I assume they either A) don't notice or B) don't care. I'm still a good worker and just got a raise a couple weeks ago.
I'm getting to the point where I sometimes forget I am wearing it.

So here it is over 2 months of wearing a bra to work and at home daily and not a single comment.
Now I often forget I am wearing it. Now if only I could grow breasts.......
