Half shirts to high school!

Well, at least, they are legally adults. For high schoolers - and especially middle-schoolers- that is a no go. I would not let my 8th grader go to school looking like that. That's the hill I'm willing to die on. Judge away.

OK, so don't. That's between you and your child. Nobody is going to force you to allow your child to go to school in short shorts and minimal tops.

Fine for walking in the neighborhood, getting coffee, the mall, but school? No.

Lol

I bet pp pulverized those pearls.

PP here - it's a long running joke among my friends that I am a pearl-clutcher. I wear the badge with pride.

You are just proving the implication about this being jealousy-based by butt-ugly, lard-bearing, intellectually-struggling, fashion/trend challenged losers. If one can't compete in brains or style, attack girls! If you are jealous of a girl beating you at chess, winning an award at the office, or getting into an Ivy, file a clothing complaint. Yes, she dresses more modestly than all of the fat, uncoordinated girls, but she's the one making me jealous!. We need to have stronger consequences for attacking women other than just last one to get a date. If someone files a clothing complaint, it should be her/his picture shown and announced and the whole building of both genders should have to undergo clothing checks in the complainer's name.

Yikes. You’re quite the hypocrite.

And all of the above is less scandalous than the miniskirts my mom wore in the early 70s.

My mom’s wedding dress from 1969 definitely did NOT pass the fingertip test. I dearly wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear what my grandmother had to say about it!

Agreed. I never bought the skinny jeans, booty shorts, or anything I don't think is appropriate for a kid to wear. That said, I don't care if my kids choose to wear all black every day, wear a hoodie every day, wear a tshirt in the middle of winter, wear so many colors at once that it looks like they dropped out of clown college, or are a wrinkled mess.

I am the PP who posted I dressed "inappropriately" and went to an Ivy. My point was not to brag on this anonymous board but to simply share my experience - don't equate what you consider "inappropriate" with outdated stereotypes. Let the kids be. So much nastiness here.

I wore baby-tee half shirts all though high school in the mid 90s!

Same here. Some of the stuff I wore I would definitely tell my kids not to. I wore big athletic jackets over my clothes on the way to school so mom couldn't say anything. Haha. I was never harassed or anything.

Yes they are and the styles look the same as what most of us wore in high school in the 90s. Chill out. People who are controlling about their daughters wardrobe are creepy to me.

I went to high school in the mid 80s. Crop tops were in fashion then too. Banned at school. Shorts weren't allowed either, and this was in the south where it was hot pretty early in the year. No tan tops either, for boys or girls. Looking back I guess it was a fairly strict dress code (by today's standards) but it seemed fine then and we somehow managed to be fashionable. (judging by the awful 80s pics for "best dressed" )

People who encourage their young daughters to dress like they're going clubbing are creepy to me.

Going to an Ivy and dressing inappropriately have no bearing on each other. You can dress inappropriately in many ways. Wearing a business suit to a nightclub is not appropriate attire. Sweatpants to a job interview. On and on. There is a time and place for everything. Surely they taught you that at your Ivy?

I can't believe they allow this in schools, and the 'butt cheek' shorts too.

Enough.

We had dress codes in my public HS (Fairfax Co).
