Can there be inappropriate work attire? Of course. Must a woman always wear a bra in an office? Not necessarily. The woman on the other forum said that she was wearing a thick wool sweater when she wasn't wearing a bra. That, to me, seems completely fine.

I don't know of a single healthy hetero male who would say it's not fine, except maybe some stuffed shirt CEO
The fact that she was called on it ( I have to say, very PC'ly done too) says it was noticeable. If I was showing breast "activity", I'd certainly prefer a female boss say so.
Both of my sisters and my mother are/were proud members of the Itty Bitty TItty club and the only activity they ever showed was if they came into contact with a blast of cold air.
And Shani, you answered yourself by saying you're the only woman. I really doubt anyone in your office would complain about your braless days.
If the situation was reversed, say a really buff man wore clothes to show off his physique(and maybe his bulge) and he worked in an all female office, how many complaints do you think he'd get about it?
I wouldn't rule out jealousy in the original off-site thread, but it's the OP's attitude there that tells more."It's their problem if I go braless" shows a complete lack of maturity and judgement. Whether there's a dress code or not, there's always some protocol and when one doesn't know the boundaries, one should be savvy enough to ask and err on the side of conservative. Pushing the envelope doesn't get you anyplace good.
