Bras essential in Germany

Women in Germany can now be ordered to wear bras at work.

The State Labour Court in Nord Rheine-Westphalia has said women should wear flesh or white coloured bras to work during a case involving the dress and grooming habits of people working at airports.

However, bosses cannot ban certain shades of nail polish - although they can rule on the length of nails.

Women can avoid having to wear a bra should they wish, but have to wear an undershirt.
