My two observations for today:

• Women truly are beautiful creatures.

• Summer is just a fantastic time of year.

It is already (at 11:30am) quite a warm day in Melbourne and I have just arrived in the city. As soon as I stepped out from the (underground) loop station onto the street the summer fashion hit me

Oh that black spaghetti strap top matched with the horizontal black and white striped stretchy mini skirt on your fit young body. I wish I could just call out to you and say you look stunning. If I knew you as a work colleague (say) I probably wouldn't use the word "stunning" at work. I might say that outfit is really lovely.

Oh, that looks like an evening dress with the silver grey strapless bodice and flowing black gown. On a day like today I think you can just get away with it depending where you're going. Don't get me wrong. You look really stunning in it (and this time I do mean stunning) its just that it would be a bit overdressed for just the office.

So many of you are wearing short shorts and I feel a tinge of jealousy. You have such fantastic young figures you look just great in them.  Approaching 60 I am carrying about 20kg and the days when I could look sexy in a pair of shorts are long gone.

That scooped black t-shirt with ruffles and jeans combined with your stylish short black hair and proud posture will turn heads all day.

Yes I've noticed that most of the short shorts are denim with cuffs. Those denim shorts and the green knitted top really suit you.

The shorts of course also remind me of holidays. Definitely not office wear. You're probably uni students enjoying the last few days of the long summer break and doing some final shopping.

Oh your short shorts and white loose top look great. You're obviously not wearing a bra and demonstrating your small breasts are so firm you don't need to.

I was just about to put my keyboard away and you walked past. That beautifull patterned black flowing dress. My partner describes that type of dress as "shwishy" and she feels very feminine when she wears one. Yours also curves quite beautifully around your breasts and reveals your unbelievably slim waist.

It's all so lovely. And I mean lovely. It shows off how soft, smooth and feminine your bodies are. It evokes such strong feelings in me that I can't really explain. The words that come to mind around it are "lovely", "elegant", "beautiful", "soft" and there is a nuturing earth mother thing about it as well.

Regardless of what it is, it is indeed powerfully evocative.

One of my daughters was trying to find some bathers for summer recently. Being fairly well endowed she was finding it hard to find something that she liked (unusual for a woman I know!!) During our conversation about it she said "I don't like being a booby girl."

What she meant was that she didn't like showing a lot of cleavage. Now if you have hiddenfeet, you will know that's a hard ask in swimwear.

Good on her anyway I say. Be what you want to be!

That makes me wonder though about girls and women who do like to show off their assets. It's summer in Melbourne at the moment and there are lots of boobs to be seen. As a man, I would like to know what a woman thinks when she wears something that show off her boobs.

I'm not for one moment suggesting I think this is an invitation to stare. Sure I think women sometimes wear clothes to look sexy. I do too (although at nearly 60 and 20kg overweight it is not an easy task.) I see these sexy young things and think I would love to look like that.

Google "why do women wear low cut tops" and you will get lots of hits about men complaining that if women want to wear low cut tops we should be able to look as much as we like. I don't think that.

I suspect, like most things women wear low cut tops for lots of different reasons. Sometimes its just because it's a hot day and that's one way of keeping cool. Sometimes, its just to be casual. Sometimes it's to look pretty (no my breastless friends, not sexy - pretty) and yes breasts are pretty.

And of course women, like men, like to be fashionable. So if low cut is in they want to wear low cut.

So when I wonder what women think I am not suggesting women owe me an explanation. If that's what they want to wear then they have every right to wear it. In one sense we can reverse the question and ask "why would a women NOT wear a low cut top?" What is so shocking about breasts that revealing a glimpse of them is so bad.

So finally, my question (like everything on Breaststories) is about understanding. I just want to know what you think? How do you feel? What it's like.

I'm not sure if I've been going around with my head in the sand for the last several years or if this just this year's fashion but I have really been noticing a resurgence of halter tops and (particularly) halter dresses this summer.

I'd forgotten how much I like them. Most of the ones I've noticed have plunging necklines (gee, I wonder why I'd notice that?) but strangely, because of the shape of the dress, in a way that's not particularly revealing.

What I find really nice is how this style emphasises the shape of breasts in what I like to call a nice way. Mostly worn without a bra halters almost act as a very soft bra revealing a very natural shape.

And of course, without a bra and from behind and to the side they often reveal parts of your breasts we don't often get to see.

All I can say is 'nice' and I mean that in the nicest possible way.
