lindo escote
/lindo eskote/from spelling rules
In Spanish, "nice cleavage" is translated as lindo escote.
The phrase is used to describe an attractive view of a woman's breasts revealed by the neckline of her clothing. You can also use bonito escote to express the same idea of a "pretty cleavage."

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of lindo, meaning nice or pretty and escote, meaning neckline or cleavage.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

To acknowledge the positive impact of a neckline on someone's appearance formally, you might say Su escote es muy favorecedor (Your cleavage is very flattering). For informal and enthusiastic compliments, you can say ¡Qué buen escote! (What a nice cleavage!) or Se te ve increíble ese escote (That cleavage looks incredible on you). Another informal way to exclaim about the quality of the neckline is to use the structure qué escote tan lindo (what a nice cleavage).

Is it said differently in some regions?

In Argentina, the informal complimentary phrase se te ve genial ese escote (that cleavage looks great on you) is commonly used.
