Chest Hair Under Button Down

I work in a very business casual office but I still feel weird sometimes when I'm not wearing an undershirt and you can see chest hair through my unbuttoned top button of my shirt. I prefer not to wear an undershirt, but I also think trimming/shaving this area would look weird. Is some chest hair visible out the top of an open collared button down acceptable? Discuss.

Its fine. You should also be attempting to expose some pubic hair while at the office. This combination exudes an unparalleled level of both confidence and professionalism

Don't shave it! many a man have fallen into the trap of having skin that's 'as smooth as a babies bottom'. In my opinion that is really unappealing (it actually amuses me sometimes). Wear an undershirt if you must, but dont let Wall Str. take your chest hair. Leave some to remind everyone whose boss. lol. erm, no offense to those who have already shaved and oiled their chests.
