In real life, all those hot young things wearing short shorts in the pictures above are grandmas and grandpas now themselves. |
I guess they are not popular at your nursing home gramps |
OP here. Of course women have the right to wear what they want. I just don't get it. It's not a flattering look, and that part of the butt is usually kind of wrinkly and has cellulite and pimples.
And, like PP said, hygiene! I also see this look at the gym all the time, and all I can think about is their butt and crotch sweat getting all over the equipment. |
My mama was not my friend and she would have had words with me if she had ever seen me walk out the house wearing that trashy get-up.
We are losing our standards as a culture. |
+10000 and about this sentiment - "women have the right to wear what they want. " I'm female, and I'm so tired of women spouting this double standard. Don't go out half-naked and then complain when you get harassed! You can't have it both ways. If you dress like you're looking for sex, then that's how people will treat you. |
I think that's kind of the point. The physical and fashion trends sprouting up on Instagram seem to do best when they are impossible for most people to "pull off." I'm thinking here of the thigh gap as well, which became "fashionable" although it is anatomically out of reach for most (even very skinny) girls, because of the shape of their pelvises. Anyway. I'm glad I'm not a teen now. But I feel bad for the future teen girls in my life. |
I'm sure as hell not wrinkly there (WTF IS?) And pimples there??? Why??? Yikes. But I do see cellulite on even teens who wear these.
My issue is the hair- I don't even think I'm all that hairy but my flaps would look like fur tacos coming out of bottoms like that. I just feel really hairy when I see people out and about in these- surely not everyone can be waxing their asses as part of their hygiene?? |
Speak for your own community. Mine still expects you to dress appropriately. |
Shhh....we want it both ways!! |
OR comment on the obvious! |
Hiss!! They are only showing their azzes they are not inviting you to look at them or think naughty thoughts! Hiss!! Bad Man!! |
I haven't been clothes shopping with teenage girls but maybe this is the style that is in the stores now? They are wearing them because that's what they can buy now?
Back in the day we used to make our own Daisy Duke cut offs from our old jeans. But the shorts being sold in the stores covered our butts and were a normal length. |
Some marketing genius from your generation is making a fortune off of trashy looking ripped jeans. Hilarious. These girls are screaming for attention. I bet they don't have fathers at home. Their mothers are the ones who wore the hot pants and short-shorts when they were younger. Secretly, their mothers think it's great. |
Lol, I know. What we used to do for ourselves for free is now something parents/girls fork over money to buy at the stores. I am also going to guess that maybe a few of these girls cut just a little more off the bottom of those shorts after purchase. |
That’s the worst I’ve seen. Why not just walk around in a thong? |
