I know it's not the most important word ;), nevertheless I'd like to know which form of these 4 is (the most) correct. Or maybe none of them are?

People will usually use cleavage when referring to that part of a woman.

Hope this helps ;)

Dresses don't have cleavage and women don't have deep necklines. However women (and men, I suppose) can wear
dresses that have deep necklines and expose their cleavage.

So men can have cleavages? I thought it referred to the area between a woman’s breasts.

Without a context, these are just English words and none or all of them may be "correct"...

Yep, men have cleavage (no "s" on the end) too. It's also called man cleavage or heavage.

And then there's side cleavage, bottom cleavage, butt cleavage. Someone could (and
probably has) write a whole dissertation on the topic.

How can a man possibly have cleavage???! The whole concept of cleavage is bra related or bra analogous clothing related.
