Do you say anything if visiting family are dressed inappropriately?

Um, that's the dress code at OP's party, and she's worried about a mini skirt?

This thread is so silly, OP.
Your Bruce knows her outfit is inappropriate. Her parents know this too
They don’t care.

I only wear leggings when I run in winter or under my ski bib.
I associate athleisure with cheap spandex.

The girl in blue - her head is really big.

And that sums up who my grandma was. 😂

You just need a snarky old drunk grandmother to call them out.

I love your grandmother.

My overweight cousins body-shamed me at the dinner table and the older one told me not to attend again because she thinks I am a bad influence on her 23 year old daughter. So I have not seen them since. I do still wear leggings when dressed casually.

This. The women who police attire need to work on their own insecurities.

At a high school winter concert some of the girls in the front row of the orchestra sat with their knees open providing a direct visual of their crotch. They wore black dresses as directed by the music teacher but he neglected to understand that most of these kids are very working class (think Queens and Bay Ridge) and probably never wore a dress in their lives.
I sent a note suggesting that mothers remind their daughters how to sit in a dress and was attacked for it just like so many here are doing. There was no follow up when I suggested that these events are also about comportment and polish for the eventual job interviews these kids will have to go on. HR would think these kids sitting manspread style grew up in a barnyard.

If you're not going to dress or behave that way for a job interview then you shouldn't dress or behave that way for other social events. Showing up in an outfit that is distracting and puts others in an awkward situation simply reflects poorly on the wearer.

She wasn't on stage or at a job interview; she was at a family house party wearing totally normal teen dress clothes.

It's still a social event.
If it's OK to wear whatever one wants, then PJs should be OK too.
Or Uncle Merv could show up in his wifebeater.
Dad could make an appearance with a bathrobe that's a bit too small.

Dude, good luck being the parent of a teenager. But, also, if you are battling about their clothes will they hear you when something important needs to be said?

My teenager intentionally decided to wear the same clothes for a week on vacation. Including for sleep. I had to offer to wash them mid week. He's also a very gifted student athlete and has a chronic illness. I give him advice, he can decide whether or not to take it. I come down hard when it's something that impacts his health or grades.

Yeah and funny enough 99% of the bullsh&t attire rules in high school were directed at women. Never men.

I tell my teenager dress is too short, not appropriate etc. At some point it will click and my comments will be her inner voice. Just not now
