You can get away dressing a certain way depending on were you live. if you lived somewere cold and wore shorts and a crop top people will make judgements. if you feel confident and feel comfortable then I wouldnt worry. xx

I live in Washington and when it's cold the most I do us show some cleavage unless I'm at cheer practice ( which I wear spandex and a sports bra) but during the summer I wear short shorts and low cut crop shirts. Because I like my body and I like to feel the sun on my skin. It's just the way the cookie crumbles.

I really don't like it when some girls my age think its ok to reveal themselves a little to much. I was at a dance for a basketball tournament with my school and there was a school from another state that came. One girl from the other state decided she would wear really tight, short very short shorts. Don't get me wrong, she could pull them off but it was 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside! Plus she was wearing a big oversized sweater so it looked like she had no pants on. Her parents were most likely back home where she was from.

All I can say is that I'm sure when we'll be where our parents are right now, we'll be telling the exact same things to our own daughters (:

As an 18 year old my parents don't tell me how to dress but I like to keep my dignity!! I would never show boobs and leg at the same time and am very conscious about crop tops. but I don't think you should judge anyone else on how they dress!

I live in Florida so since its always sunny usually shorta tanks crop tops is normal here. But girls do get picked on for having too short of shorts here.

I dress conservatively; long pants or capris (no shorts), no crop tops, no cleavage. I have always been told (and firmly believe) that "no man is going to buy the cow if he can get the milk for free". That adage applies to clothing, behaviour, and a lot of other choices. In general, when women dress revealingly, it attracts negative attention and doesn't really end with a happy, long term relationship. I understand that that isn't everyone's goal in life, but I wouldn't want the negative attention anyway.

The thing with dressing inappropriately is that many people take you less seriously. Modesty IS the best policy.

And basically, I know modesty when I see it lol

I don't like shorts that show too much cleavage because it bothers me so I try it on and if it looks too low to me I just put on a different top! :) I don't like wearing short shorts because my legs are pale and I think they look weird lol :) and I don't want to have my butt falling out or have to pick a wedgy at school haha!

Look, I don't want to come here and judge what you guys are saying - my last comment still stands overall: wear what you want to wear. I just really hate the assumption that girls who wear short shorts don't respect themselves. How much self-respect someone has is not shown AT ALL through her decisions on what to wear, and furthermore, how a girl dresses should have no impact on how much respect other people have for her. These statements just reinforce rape culture and the idea that certain people don't deserve the same respect as the rest of us, even though you don't know anything about that girl.

I stay modest because I feel like it shows how I respect my body and myself :)

Alice, preachhhh it. I am a hardcore fan of wear what makes YOU feel beautiful. If that means wearing a turtleneck, fine. If you feel lovely showing off some skin, more power to you. Who are we to judge someone based off their appearance? Besides, not all women dress to attract men. Being modest doesn't make you better than someone who reveals a little more flesh, just like strutting your stuff doesn't make you more valuable than someone who dresses more conservatively. As women, we should all be supporting each other, not saying if you wear a certain outfit you're automatically a "slut".

Thanks Lauren! Sometimes I feel like a crusader against slut-shaming haha especially around here when I see stuff like that it just irks me, because there are young girls who are seeing this stuff. I just feel like it's our job to teach them that their worth isn't determined by what they wear haha. I think that if dressing modestly is what makes you feel good about yourself, that's totally awesome and you should go with that, but that doesn't meant that people who don't do that are somehow lower than you.

I'm all for complete freedom of expression. Wear WHATEVER you please as long as it makes you feel confident and beautiful and it's what YOU want.  :)

Alice- Exactly! Young girls should feel empowered doing whatever makes them happy, clothing shouldn't judge your passion for something or your knowledge of a subject. It drives me bonkers when I'm at school and I overhear girls (and guys) calling HUMAN BEINGS sluts because they chose to wear a v neck and shorts that day. Clothing doesn't make the person, the person does.

There are ways of dressing to feel and look nice that don't mean showing too much off. I wear things that flatter my figure and show No skin some days, it works just fine.

It's all about dressing to your body type and what does and doesn't suit your shape.

when it comes to much younger girls, it's not all bad that your parents have rules. Sometimes guys don't just think one thing but Men will often notice a nice body, and sometimes they then realise it's someone too young to think of that way because they're dressed like a woman. There are ways to dress Nicely as a girl and still look like a girl, the rest can wait, promise, you'll have plenty of time for that other stuff

For me, modesty depends on the situation. If I'm going to a school dance and I wear a dress that could ride up or something if I'm dancing too much I wear dance shorts under it, but if I'm at dance I wear a sports bra and dance shorts. My rule of thumb for regular clothes though is "the dance". I touch my toes, put my hands over my head and squat a little withy hands on my knees. If you can see my butt I put on longer bottoms, if you see my stomach a little it's okay but if you can see my bra too I put on an under shirt.

People should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want.

And people should be allowed to think however they want about people who wear whatever they want ^
