Dress How you want to be Addressed

Must we unclad ourselves before appearing with the true version of beauty?

The issue of indecent dressing is relative because it is viewed differently by diverse societies. When I see what women wear in the Western world, I am just astonished. You cannot wear panties and work on the streets. It can be worn in special events like nightclubs. But it is normal to see a lady in the US almost naked.

My take is that people should be free to dress based on their perception. But it shouldn't be provocative. I don't see exposing the body as a sign of showcasing beauty. Someone can dress decently and still look gorgeous.

"Dress to impress"
This is how it is addressed now. Because if you're going on an interview, you really have to dress well. So it differs per occasion on how it should be. But someone who's respectable has to wear proper dress and if you'll remind those who doesn't dress well. They'll tell you that it is their fashion and that's how they like to wear things even if it's only covering a few important details of their body parts.

I don't think we need to go half or full naked before expressing to others about our beauty, all these are unnecessary, only if we know what we want and also conscious of what we are doing.

There's nothing bad if we can adjust to some extent and leave a modest live by dressing the proper way, but i wont still be surprise as to some traditions also encourages for dressing in such abnormality, which even complicates issues the more for those interested on traditional ethics for them to dress.

This thread reminds me when I was in higher institution it was written very bold THAT INDICENT DRESSING IS HIGHLY PROHIBITED I know how many students the security at the gate always push out to go back their homes to redress before they should come back to school, I think in this manner of pushing them back it will reduce INDICENT dressings.

This should also be applicable in our schools churches and mosq , any person who didn't dress well should go back and dress properly and come back this is not insult but is really the good decisions that people need to follow to reduce the high level of INDICENT dressing in the world today.

It was a practice to all the university security personnel in all the university in my country that I no of those days so that every student would learn how to dress morally in a  way that they would be seen as a responsible students. Everyone thinks they have right to pick any dressing of your choice and is true they have all the right but however considering how your society addresses indecent dressing should be a good reason to adjust your taste style of dressing because a dressing that seems very natural and common to person could actually caused the reason why they would be rejected in the public so actually dressing is part of a definition of someone.

That's what the Muslims try to do to their women, by covering them in black.

I don't know what to say on this subject matter because its so annoying, you see what we call fashion today is fashioned to destroy both the people who are wearing them and the beholder. I think what would help is laws regulating indecent dressing should be past and followed strictly by the government.

And there should be regulations to production of indecent dresses by manufacturers and distributors that it can help reduce the level at which this thing is going  because if care is not taken after now we will see people wearing bikini and start walking on the streets and feel its normal.
Something has to be done and done very fast.

The protection is built in... already there.

File a claim (not a complaint) against people who are harming you by the way they dress.

When it gets to court, bring it before a jury of your peers, right in your local area. Make sure you have written the claim up correctly and wisely.

Then let the jury decide. Start now, before the jury is made up of Muslims.

The clothes people wear that's termed as "indecent dressing" by the society to the one's wearing them it's not so, they're just wearing what makes them feel comfortable and confident "Their popular saying". They'd have put thought into their appearance, check the mirror, before they leave their homes and be like "yeah, I look great" they come out of the house with pride. The conflict starts when other people challenge their looks in public, which is when some respond with hostility.

We know if it's a formal occasion, most people will dress appropriately without any issue. For this same reason is why uniforms exist in professional settings to set a clear standard and avoid arguments like this in what's considered inappropriate.
We focus on critizing those wearing the clothes alone but what about the fashion industries that's responsible for creating this these naked trends in the name of business?

For those dressing indecently, all they care about is personal expression and comfort. They don't base their choices on public opinion but only what feels right to them.

How a person dresses should not concern the general public. Before you judge a person's outfit, check if whats he/her is wearing is suitable for that occasion. Like beachwear cannot be worn in an office, office wear cannot be used at the beach for swimming. If it suits the occasion, everyone has the right to dress the way they choose. Although in the world we live in, people have opinions on what you do, but sometimes opinions addressed disrespectfully are very unnecessary.

It won't offend people if you do it in your house with the shades pulled.

People can choose to dress the way they want but that doesn't take away the fact that your dressing sends messages to the public, if i might likely not judge anyone based on their own dressing other people will and this is how life is but going by what you said about occasional dressing codes, most of the occasion with dressing codes doesn't have restrictions and this is another reasons people are vulnerable to be judged when their dressing seems to be off the occasion in the mind of others, undoubtedly  dressing speakes louder than we can imagine while people do lot's of things in the name of fashion.

[Y3shot]

I think when it comes to dressing, we are in a world where everyone can dress just the way they want, and the truth is that you cannot stop them. Dressing is an identity, and when people wear clothes, you can easily identify who they are, so this shouldn't be a problem. Some may think that the dressing of others can draw their attention, but this is not an excuse; you just have to be disciplined to know what you want and to choose the right thing. If someone dresses in a certain way and you think it's a problem for you, then it means you and that person are the same, but if you are never the same, the way people dress shouldn't be a problem for you.

We live in a society that is full of atrocities when it comes to modalities to how people dress, people have developed more interest in the name of civilization to appear naked than to cover up their body with clothes that are defeating for a particular occasion, the question is that is this still fashion or craziness?

We dress in an abnormal way and yet still want to be addressed in a normal way, we should discourage every form of indecent dressing because it's make us feel more uncomfortable when we wear such and also the value our reputation when it's comes to public appearance, are we going to open our eyes to keep watching things going the same way and people dress in an indecent manner and we claim that the society is still corrupt of all evil atrocities among women.

To change we want begins with us now and we can leave with freedom but not to abuse the privilege of such by dressing abnormally and making public appearance in such manner, there are some dresses that must only be worn while at home because they are not suitable for an occasional dress, there are different ways people can dress based on their profession, cultureor tradition.

Must we unclad ourselves before appearing with the true version of beauty?

Beauty is in the eye of beholder. And what the hell is "abnormal"? It's that something you decide?

I'll wear what ever the hell i want, and by all means, judge me for it. But if you can't respect people normally just because how they dress themselves, why would you think you should be respected? Because you are afraid to try anything but boring clothes in public, that's an act of what exactly? Sounds like projection and shame to me.

You might want to be aware that by judging others on how they dress, you are just revealing insecure parts of yourself and you definitely will be judged, and not in a cute way. Just in a way that you started.

The high  time you understand that people don’t care about how they will be addressed or seen, the better for you, For me dressing does not really define a person’s personality. I don’t judge people based on their appearance, good character, respect and behavior are more important than dressing. nevertheless people should learn how to dress decent  That doesn’t mean that I’m against women people who dresses anyhow. For me I think dressing is based on individual mindset  Some people think that real beauty lies on exposing their body, while some see real beauty as neatness, maturity, self respect. In our society today many people has turn fashion into competition and seeking attention from outsiders to meet up their needs.

It's something common sense decides. There are clothes for each kind of situations, and anything which goes too far from what suits the situation is considered abnormal. Anyway, no one is going to be forced to dress determined kind of clothes, although they should be aware that for every decisions made there are consequences involved... And one of them is to not be taken seriously by people around, what is definitely an important aspect if we are talking about professional field.

This is so true.  For the first six months after my stroke, people would cross the street when they saw me coming.   I had nothing that indicated I was handicapped, so people assumed I was really drunk.  :/

Now I walk with a cane, even though I don't need one.  The difference is amazing!  People talk to me on the street like any other topless cartoon character.

The idea behind dressing modestly is to prevent sexual offenses, lawlessness or sin. Sexual lawlessness, like adultery, fornication, porn, masturbation, rape, etc are all sex done outside of its boundary (which is marriage).
Not dressing modestly is one of the causes of this lawlessness, but it's important to understand that in certain culture exposing one's private body parts may not arouse this lawless sexual desire neither is it used for seduction. In that case, it's not a problem unless it start making people to engage in sexual lawlessness, then the ones who dress that way , for the sake of love for those who may become lawless due to their dressing have to cover up, whether the intention for dressing in that manner is innocent or not..
By the way, the intention for dressing in a particular way is the best way to distinguish between those who expose their private body parts to seduce from those who dress innocently. The ones who do it intentionally may be punished while those with innocent intentions may just be respectful advised to cover up, all for the sake of protecting society from sexual lawlessness. But if no one is bothered or negatively affected by the exposed private bodies parts, then the ones who dress in that manner may be left alone.

In a society where morality is almost dead, same people will complain of increase in rape cases whole ignoring the fact that such happenings are indication of the fact that there's a serious decline in the moral standards of individuals.

Individual's opinion on modesty might differ but it's something we have to keep hammering considering that People are almost walking half naked all in the name of having the right to dress the way they want. Regardless of the level of freedom, it still comes with it limitations and such limitations are the only thing that shows that the society is still governable.

[Mhizlove]

When it comes to fashion it do change over time and what you see as normal the other person will see it differently, but at the same time every society has their own standard for decency in public places and it helps people feel more comfortable around themselves. So if you want a balance, people can express themselves but at the same thing they will still consider the environment they find themselves in, the occasion and also the people around them too.

What really matters most is not about dressing but awareness and respect because if we put our focus on mutual respect it can reduce alot of misunderstanding about dressing.

Don't be surprised, the society that we live in today, is very good at defending and backing every single decision.
First thing they ask you is... What's your definition of what is right and what is wrong?, or, what's your definition of what is decent and what is not. Then, they go on to tell you that everyone has the right to do whatever pleases them. Well, it's what it is.... Putting on skimpy clothes just happen to be the definition of some people's beauty, and it's already a norm in the society. You are even complaining about indecent dressing, haven't you seen people going naked on tiktok live, all for the sake of trends?. The problem is way deeper than you actually think.
