Why do women and girls show cleavage if they don’t want people to look at their cleavage? I have never understood this line of thinking.

Thank goodness my daughter wears a uniform to school. Actually she is very self conscious in a crop top anyway, and she had the body to rock it.

Genuinely curious: for all of you in the women and girls should wear whatever they want, whenever they want! camp - do you actually have a line, and if so, what is it?
If the trend was running around naked would that be ok?

The girls today hardly wear anything fun. Sloppy pajamas pants, big hoodies, some crop tops, baggy sweatpants or cargos, big tees. They look like homeless kids.
Teen fashion is way more varied & interesting now than back when we were kids. There are so many more brands and styles now, lots of different fashion choices are socially acceptable. My own daughter does like tube tops and jeans, but there is a huge range among the kids.
Who is "we"? When and where did you grow up? There was a huge variety in fashion when I was a tween/teen, both in clothing and hairstyles. Every girl from 10 to 30 has the same long hair with pseudo wavy stringy curls now. Even my hairdresser was complaining about the lack of diversity in hairstyles--and she's in her late 20s!
I see girls with long hair, short hair, pink hair, parted in the middle hair, curly girl hair, blue hair, highlighted hair… the choices are endless.

I graduated high school in 1995. Very homogenous.

I didn't allow it in MS, but she has now in HS. She told me that some girls in HS where nothing but a tube top.
I don't understand why admins don't enforce dress codes.
In my experience, this is deeply uncomfortable for male teachers and administrators to address. To enforce the dress code they have to acknowledge that they noticed just how revealing these young girls' clothing is. For a normal (non-perv, non-pedophile) middle age adult male, this is a very awkward, uncomfortable, and fraught conversation. So sometimes it's easier to just let it slide.
This is also a good reason why it’s absolutely inappropriate in school!

The question I always ask is why anyone ever thought the ladies volleyball shorts were appropriate.
The problem is that athelesiure is the style of choice for kids now and makes can wear it all for school, sport, hanging out, and yet again we are policing this for females. I’m not saying we shouldn’t but this is what is causing the problem. We’re still trying to dress code girls.
I’m all in favor of dress-coding everyone. No crop tops or butts/underwear hanging out for girls and boys.
Wait—why are you blaming Gen X? You know what was in fashion when I was in and bight and HS? Prairie skirts and dresses. Long baggie Bermuda shorts with sperry topsides and a polo shirt. Oxford shirts under a sweater vest. Big baggy sweatshirts that sometimes fell off one shoulder. Later, body suits with mid rise jeans.
Ok grandma - calm down.
Is being called a grandmother supposed to be an insult?
Nobody wants to see boys going to school with only a tank top on with skin tight sweatpants that shows the outline of their dick.
Those boomers and Gen X were the worst offenders of letting everything show. Halter tops with the lowest cut Jeans. Denim shorts cut as short as possible, dresses with no bras or underwear. I like the store Free People probably created by old hippies but there’s a way to put together outfits from there that don’t look cheap. If the clothes teens wear show a bare back, bare stomach, and bare legs up to the crotch it’s not a good look. Balance is the key.

Minding your own business and not judging others for their clothes is key.
It’s not 1965 sweetie
Exactly. I think she needs to go watch the Barbie movie and get with the times.

Girls - wear what you want and be confident in whatever you want. Fashion is fun and parents that try and diminish it and victimize you have their own deep-rooted issues.
And if your mom doesn't approve or wants you to wear turtlenecks just do what the others do. Borrow clothes and change in school, mall, etc...
If you don't want to...
seen first as a sexual object
judged for you looks
body-shamed
etc etc.
Then don't wear clothes that are aim to be provocative and suggestive.
If you are truly confident, you can wear clothes that are fun and look smashing without making yourself look cheap, cheesy, and in need of attention.
Your comment is EXACTLY the people the PP was talking about. Your version of trashy is crop tops. I mean give me a break. You sound like an old bitty who hasn't gotten action in decades and loathes any confident female. Get lost

I’ve not seen one mom in a sports bra walking around anywhere that’s not a gym. do you live in a gym?
No I live in Bethesda and it’s all I see. Where do you live?
McLean. No mom sport bra sightings here as we walk daily life.
Bethesda Row 9am to 3pm it's all the rich moms are wearing lulu head to toe
Athleisure is not the same as moms running around in sports bras, which is what you said.
My Target is filled with moms in athleisure, consisting of yoga pants and sports bras.
