No T-shirt is fine - we all (almost all) have hair on our bodies and heads. What is so different about chest hair?

i have so much more to worry about at work than whether or not a little chest hair is showing... it's not the most appealing thing to me, personally, but who am i to dictate how a person should dress so i don't see their chest hair? what would be next? long sleeve t-shirts so we don't see the hair on people's arms?

as long as people wear the required uniform and act professionally, that's all that matters...

I also have a hairy chest and wear my scrubs without a t-shirt. I manuscape and trim the hairs because I don't like the hair hanging out the v-neck, bt it's very clear I have hair on my chest.

I don't think it should be mandated one way or another just because a guy has a hairy chest.

Tweety, what the hell is a "manuscape" ? please.

I am sorry ladies and gentlemen but I think that a t-shirt should be worn by men if they have excessive chest hair that will show thru a v-neck scrub top. I also think that women should wear a t-shirt if they are full busted as to not flash everyone they encounter...lol Towanna

I honestly have never seen it as an obsenity therefore, I feel no need to worry about a little exposed body hair.

Chest hair doesn't bother me. I would be too hot and sweaty at work with a t-shirt under my scrub top, so I wouldn't expect it to be required for hairy men

Personally I don't like the sight of chest hair and somewhat find it unprofessional to have it hanging out of scrubs. Women aren't allowed to show their chest so neither should men. Kinda like at the gym. However though I would not penalize someone for not wearing a shirt under their scrubs because in the medical profession, we get busy and the last thing on our mind is what we are wearing. So my personal vote is for no, but my fair vote is yes, let them do what they want.

I really don't think chest hair can be equated with cleavage. My cleavage certainly doesn't extend to the base of my neck or onto my back!

Might as well have the guys wear pantyhose too, so their leg hair doesn't show.

Personally, I couldn't imagine trying to wear a T-shirt under scrubs in the spring or summer when it's warm.

As I patient (or nurse) I would not want to see hair hanging out of the V neck. Would anyone want to me my armpit hair if I didn't shave it? NO!


Ewwww!

This reminds me of a situation my husband had while he was in the Air Force...about 10-15 years ago, the Secretary of the Air Force's wife liked to see chest hair on the males. So, she got her husband to change the uniforms so that the Air Force guys now wear ONLY v-neck t-shirts under their uniforms. Personally, my husband has chest hair and I like it. I voted that not wearing t-shirts was fine. However, myself (female), wear a t-shirt or sleeveless high-necked tank top under mine because I don't think I need more revealed than I care to reveal if you get my drift.
