It seems to me these days that skirts are so short, shirts so low, thongs are popping out everywhere. Not just in the young girls too, it's everybody! I couldn't believe some of the underwear I found in my daughter's drawers, and the clothing in her closet. And when she goes to school I often think, "Is she allowed to wear that!?". Am I just an old fogey who doesn't know about fashion, or is this really in bad taste?
Stylize me, /fashion/.
The human body is a beautiful thing. That said, the social implications of showing off certain parts of said body are usually slanted towards the ideas of easy sex.
It's said that you should "flaunt it if you got it", but one also has to take into the account the social signals some clothing will send off. Personally, I don't like getting hit on by sleezy guys, so I don't wear short skirts and low cut shirts. I don't think women who do wear them are necessarily sluts, but they shouldn't be surprised when/if they are treated as such.
That said, I personally believe low cut underwear is a blessing after going through school having my normal underwear constantly show above my pants line. So annoying.
I personally find it disgusting. It might be trendy and fashionable but it isn't even sexy, it's obscene. Sexy is not about showing it all off, sexy is about mystery. There is nothing mysterious about a thong popping out of your jeans and cleavage down to your belly button.
I don't follow trends or fashion, I just wear clothing that is beautiful and feminine. It might not be what all the other girls are wearing but I would rather look like a young lady than a truck-stop whore. I don't even own a single pair or jeans or t-shirt. Only dresses, skirts, blouses, and high heels for me. Then of course seamed nylon stockings because it adds to the mystery.
Think about it...a girl wearing a miniskirt but no hosiery, just legs. Now think a girl with a knee length skirt but nylon stockings...could they be hold-ups or perhaps she is wearing a garter belt?
So, yes I do think clothes are too revealing. As for young girls wearing it, I question the parents as these little girls aren't buying it for themselves.
I think it just feeds their low self-esteem with something to make them feel worthwhile and worth a damn. Where I live, about 40% of the girls 18-30 wear super short-shorts and high-heels and are decked out in what we'd call in America "hoes and tricks".

You sound like my girlfriend.
That last paragraph is probably true as it pertains to me. But hell, my family doesn't give a shit about me, so I don't really care about them. My daughter can wear whatever she wants I guess. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way though.
If there's grass, play ball. If there are tricks to make the guys come out to play ball, ie, milkshakes, thongs, etc. then so be it.
I DO however, have to agree with objection to the younger girls 16- wearing clothing that's way too revealing though. Just makes it harder for the disgusting pedos that run around to resist doing bad things.
However, if they're old enough to somewhat think for themselves, you can also feel free to use the media as a scapegoat for bad parenting, like cosmo, paris hilton, britteny spears, mtv, etc for being bad part time baby sitters while you're away at work.

I agree with you to a point. A lot of girls nowadays are leaving nothing to the imagination.
I believe in dressing comfortably, appropriate to the occassion (ie. weather) and to highlight your attributes.
The whole no jeans, t-shirt thing is slightly extreme though. There are times where the whole dressing feminine get-up isn't entirely functional.

This is off-topic, but you really should love your family more. If you love them, they'll start to love you back. Everyone will be much happier that way. Just keep in mind that love doesn't mean giving them what they want.
On-topic, I don't know. As a man I'm personally more attracted to blouses and skirts, that clean, young lady, feminine ideal. I don't find a problem with revealing clothing, it just sends vibes that make me want to stay away. That's unfair to the women wearing them, but it's the way it is.
I think that different people have different ideas of 'sexy' and not everyone should dress the same, weather the style is slutty or not. I can understand why some would want to show off a lot of skin and I can also understand why others wouldn't. I'm more annoyed with the really young girls (5-7, maybe?) wearing mini skirts and sweatpants with writing on the butt. No one should be 'dressing sexy' until they can comprehend what sexy is.
I think everyone should go back to wearing 19th century clothing.
Clothes may be a bit revealing on really young girls. I've seen 7 year olds dressed like they were strippers. I don't see anything wrong with it when you're a teen or older. I'd rather see a good looking girl in hot clothing than something that looks like it's from the 16th century.
Also, >>1 why are you going through your daughters underwear drawer?
Hey, I'm not on trial here. Don't ask.
Everyone should dress like anime cosplayers.
