Modesty is the best policy.

Hey girls, it's soo hard to find something modest these days without showing too much. What's your limits? And how much do you think should be shown?

I have a rule, and it's like this... If I'm going to wear shorts and show some legs then I will wear a nice conservative top I won't wear a tank, and not show anything on top and if I wear a little tank then I'll cover up my legs by wearing capris, leggings or jeans. :) hope that makes sense. lol

I personally think that leggings should not be worn with short tops, just because they're tight to be showing your front and bottom. I really find it unnecessary when girls "reach up" on purpose so their shirts can rise up and reveal their bellies, it's not very appealing, I'm sure someone wouldn't do that during a job interview.

Kathy, I totally agree with you!

Kathy, that makes perfect sense! The reason why I was asking because my parents are one of those strict people that want everything past the knees

I only wear shorts that aren't super short but about mid theigh my parents are perfectly fine with it and they are kinda strict on modesty.

I agree with manal! Especially when the leggings are so thin you can see their thing through it.

@Manal I agree, what I meant by that if I wear leggings it's with a loose top and long enough to cover my bottom! I wouldn't be comfy wearing a small tank and leggins too skimpy. lol

@Sarah it's good thing though, because once you're older and out on your own, and can dress any way, you'll know your limits and have sense of what's appropriate clothes wise!

I don't care about leggings and covering up or not as long as there's no camel toe haha. Otherwise ill wear shorts but its a no go if my bum hangs out. I don't like showing off my tummy so I'm not big on crop tops just cause I think they can be trashy. And cleavage wise I make sure my shirt goes up at least an inch from where my bra ends.

@Sarah that's a good thing though, because once you're out on your own and no ones telling what you can and can't wear you'll have sense of what's appropriate and modest!

@kathy, haha yeah I try to have tops that cover my bottom! I'm not into underwear lines hahaha (:

Kathy, so true! It's just tough sometimes

Sarah M, my parents are like the too! No skinny jeans, shirts have to be loose, and dresses and skirts are have to be at least to the knee. I can very frustrating sometimes but they're just being good parents :/

@kathy C, maybe I'm just stubborn, but when I get out on my own I'm wearing whatever I want haha.

I love leggings! They're so comfortable! But my parents won't let me wear them at school! They say my butt looks to big. Lol.. And I don't have a problem with wearing short shorts.. As long as they don't show my butt.. Haha.

My parents aren't that strict but now that I'm getting older and when I wear shorts, my mom says they're too short when there really not. But I wouldn't wear shorts that waayy too short and show my butt. And for tops, I have a mole on my chest and if you can see my mole, then it shows too much!!

Sarah M.

Tealy, it's good to know someone else is out there! Parents are just protecting us from the watchful eyes of boys thinking only one thing!

I think that's the fashion designers need to come out with more modest clothing, if forever21 sold modest clothes, girls would buy more modest clothes. Girls buy what their favorite stores sell.

That's what my mom said! But the thing is, there's girls at my school with WAY bigger "behinds" so eve n though mine is pretty descent sized.. (; not to brag lol.. They just notice those girls! So it shouldn't matter?

My dad doesn't really care about what I wear because I don't show too much. I wear short shorts but not so short that my butt hangs out and I hate wearing crop tops. As for cleavage, I'm as flat as a board but I still don't wear low v-necks without an undershirt.

My dad is more strict than my mom about the clothes I wear or how I do my makeup. No shorts that show my butt, nothing too low cut, if any part of my bra shows I am dead meat. No dresses or skirts are allowed more than about 2 1/2 inches past my knees. I guess my parents aren't that strict but when it comes to makeup that's a whole other story.

I think what ever makes a girl feel beautiful is fine

Maddy Z.

My parents are pretty strict about also like no short shorts, anything low cut, or too short. My dad is more strict then my mom though about how I wear clothes.

@Nadia I'm with you. Wear what makes you comfortable! I'm at college, so I don't have to check with my parents for my outfits, but I wear what I like - things that make me feel good about myself. If you want to dress conservatively, feel free. I dislike the idea that "modesty is the best policy" though. I think if someone wants to show some skin, and it makes her feel good about herself, that's what she should wear. Focus on yourself, don't worry so much about what the girls around you are wearing!
