Too bad there are a bunch of girls in here talking about how sad it is girls these days can't be modest and "respect" themselves. News flash, how you dress does not reflect your self respect. Wear a bikini if you want, or cover up completely if you want, but girls in this thread are doing some serious slut shaming which is sad because I like to think girls in the makeup community know what slut shaming is and are generally against it.

I can appreciate modesty but I personally love short skirts, booty shorts & half shirts to show off my belly button peircing. But I don't show anything that shouldn't be seen.

I believe in wearing what is appropriate for the situation. If its a cold day, I'll cover up, and if it's 35 degrees celcius, I'll wear a top and shorts.
To the comments about bikinis not being appropriate - where do you girls live? Everywhere I've been, bikinis are standard beachwear unless you feel insecure about your body.

I think every person should wear whatever makes them feel good. Some people are more comfortable with themselves and I think that's fine because it doesn't effect my life in any way and if youre happy with your choices, continue with it. I absolutely despise when I go to the beach with people and they try to put someone elses beach attire down. Every single one of us is there to have a good time so they should be able to go in as little or much clothes as they can comfortably have fun in.

And the people that are saying girls dress a certain way to get attention, do you know every single female? have you asked all about this? to me it seems you are putting what your own state of mind on everyone. There are a lot of things I would love to wear that may seem revealing to some people, I wouldn't wear them bc I am extremely curvy on the back end and it wouldnt make me feel good about myself, but if I did wear them, it would be for me. I would feel good in it. I know that when I have something on that I love, it makes me feel good, the fact that other people may love it or hate it can't change the fact that it makes me feel good when I'm wearing it. I never considered people giving me attention because of it. and my husband loves when I wear anything I feel confident in bc that shines outward and makes for a happier person. if I were Muslim and I was more covered up then if I felt good he would be ecstatic. and if I was in something 6 sizes too small but I felt good about it, he would be happy. because what makes me happy makes him happy. if you live your life to make others happy and not yourself, you will have a very miserable one.

Lol well I don't have much of a figure to show off, but it would be nice to show off my stomach. I don't because I think it looks weird to have a crop top that onl shows up to your bellybutton, and my pants normally come up to there because of my small size. I think that modesty is okay, I think showing some skin is okay too, but I'm not too keen on those girls who wear the friskiest clothes they own out just to go to the mall. but hey, whatever makes them feel good is what counts!

I think modesty is sexy! Its more about an aesthetic balance in my opinion than a set of rules for what one should or should not wear.

I agree with Bridgette and Hayley. It isn't fair to say those who aren't modest aren't good girls and don't respect themselves, that is slut shaming ladies and gents and that is a no no. I personally think to each their own. I wear a bikini, my boyfriend loves me in my bikini. He loves my confidence and has satisfaction in knowing we both look really good and 'Wow, that's my girlfriend' or so he told me. But that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with wearing shorts where my bum hangs out, it's not about being modest or not, to me it's just unattractive. But that's my personal perspective, some other woman may like it. While I prefer a healthy mix of modesty and a little skin others may not like it so much but its not my concern, just like no one elses fashion choices are mine. It's what ever makes them happy and feel confident.

I feel bad that people are saying that slut shaming is going on. this post wasn't meant to bring people down by dressing or not dressing a certain way. I believe that more than anything modesty is a state of mind than a censorship tactic. just because a woman likes to cover up doesn't mean she's ashamed or insecure. I've honestly never felt sexier after becoming a mom. on the other hand just because a woman likes to dress sexy doesn't mean she lacks self respect.

Ashley S. I think that so cool that you love to be so different. its people like you that give my eyes a break from the old and ordinary :)

You girls talking about modesty and being covered up, what exactly do you mean? Can you post a picture of what you think is crossing the line?

I for one think it's tardy to dress like a streetwalker, but your comments give me the impression you look down upon girls wearing what is just normal summer wear.
Honestly I rarely see anyone in a tardy outfit, so I'm really curious about what exactly you mean.

Its very situational. clubware will differ from wedding attire and of coarse I'm not going to freak out about a little bra strap peeking out at the dog park or on a hike. to me you can show skin and still be modest. its all about cut fit and proportion.

I think people who judge others by what they wear particularly other women is because of jealousy n insecurities within themselves. They just hating because they wish they could wear that n be sexy. Stop all the freaking hating I love to be sexy n wear revealing clothes..I love in Miami it's super Hott here...hell..why not? If you got it'flaunt it!! Just remember ladies your only young for soo long do it while you can...because when you get old your going to wish you had done it when you had the chance.

I am so tired of the phrase "slut shaming" as if every conservative person isn't allowed to voice an opinion. When a woman goes in public wearing skimpy, revealing clothes, she is inviting negative attention, no matter if she wants that attention or not. (Notice I didn't say "asking for it".) Every human being with a lick of common sense knows this: if you are dressed like a tart, people will treat you like a tart. If a woman has any self respect, she wouldn't want her dignity dragged through the mud, wouldn't want to present herself to the world in that manner and be treated like that. You can't just say "nobody has a right to judge!" and expect the entirety of society to condone dressing like a streetwalker. Sure, if you want to walk down Main Street in your bra and panties, go right ahead. But don't get upset when people say that it is completely inappropriate, and unbecoming, to behave that way.
