My DD (age 19) and her friends (all of whom are college students) really like to dress in a way that OP describes.

I think it's very unfortunate because it looks a bit desperate to me.  I think that women look prettier when dressed in a classy way that is feminine, and not trying to shock or get attention.

But it's not worth mentioning anything to this age group.  At least for my DD, she would not be open to any constructive criticism about clothing.

This generation (or at least my DD) strike me as pretty immature.  If someone is even 10 years older, they dismiss them as a joke with outdated attitudes and knowing nothing.  (When I was 19, I don't recall being quite so hostile to people that were older than I was.)[/quote]

My DD is your DD's age, she will not walk into a public grocery store or any store for that matter in a jog bra.  She has been raised to know that we consider that to be inappropriate behavior and she always has a light jacket to throw on after a workout when she stops off at coffee shops or whatever.  I have never once seen a picture of my DD with her group of friends in their jog bras.  Your DD and her friends are childish, that's on you.[/quote]

I love moms like you the absolute cluelessness is hilarious [/quote]

You do realize that there are a large number of women and girls who are confident and secure and don’t feel the need to flaunt their bodies at every opportunity?

Particularly if they are raised right, as PP’s daughter seems to be?[/quote]

My statement has nothing to do with confidence which has very little to do with how a woman is dressed. My statement has to do with you and pp and moms like your self who claim to know exactly what their daughters are doing and wearing. You don't.[/quote]

I'm a DP. I can say with 100% certainty that my 18-year-old DD doesn't even wear crop tops in public, let alone abbreviated bras and bootie shorts. Her friends live in crop tops and short shorts because that's what is in style. Most people in the age group wear these clothes. It has nothing to do with working out, nor does it necessarily reflect on their values. I don't judge either way; however, I know what my daughter is wearing. She has her own sense of style, which makes her an outlier amongst her peers, but she is confident enough to follow her own path. Why is that so strange?[/quote]

You can't. . Unless you 18 year old daughter is with you every minute of the day, and then  you have another problem.[/quote]
