What types of clothes do you wear? do you expose much of your skin or not? In my country, people are getting dressed differently from the past. Before, girls wear clothes without exposing much of their skin. Now, girls are wearing sexy clothes like too much exposure of their skin. Do you feel good and confident on this? Honestly, i don't wear sexy clothes that much. I don't care what guys think of me but I do not want to expose much of my skin to anyone. People around me dress like a sexy movie star. Even church, they wear them. I am not against on it but sometimes it is inappropriate. what can you say about this?

Ha ha I definitely don't look like a movie star either. Some people go all out like that here. I just can't be bothered! There aren't enough hours in the day to make me as pretty and prim as some of the people around me, but hey, that's OK!

Yes there is place to look sexy (showing too much skin), but you can also look sexy if you are not showing skin as well. I like to wear sexy clothing just because I know I can pull it off and I have a great body. I would not wear sexy clothing to church, to work, or any place that I would think is inappropriate.

Yes I think that the skimpy dressing is just a trend like everyone else and when it goes to far it will have to come back. It's as proven as the law of gravity what goes up must come down. I think that it's great that people are discovering their sexy side and that the designers are starting to cater for everyone in all sizes! I thin kthe fabrics are getting lesser and lighter and I wonder wear it will end. It is up to us to work our bodies so they are worth flaunting with the best of them.

This is the reflection of what media like television and magazines can do. It affects people to imitate their idols on how they wear, they dress because it is the decision of an individual to dress according to their taste and belief. But what is important is to dress modestly. Not the means to distract others and give oneself self respect. I don't mind to wear something sexy if I am just at home and my husband is the only one who sees me, not outside where I will display my legs to other people and give a wrong impression or what they think of me. Besides, I do respect also what culture is applied in the country to where I am living now. Since most women are covered, I also do dress properly.

I do wear clothes that reveals some skin, but not too much of it. Besides, clothes that exposes a lot of skin are mostly appropriate at the beach , where you can wear those skimpy bikinis. Backless clothes can also be worn casually, but in my opinion, not on the church. I think when in church let's be modest in our clothing. After all, we are there to give homage and worship to God. But in all honesty, i like wearing sleeveless blouses. They look sexy.

I do not wear sexy clothes. I feel like a ho if I'm wearing anything low cut. I mean I don't think a woman has to be wearing low cut blouses, short skirts, or tight pants to be sexy. I might wear a skirt an inch or two above my knee, but that's it. My shorts aren't extra short, and I'm a lot more comfortable because of it.

Since I live in a country considered to be a muslim country, people here are conservative and they cover themselves from head to toe despite the scourging heat of this tropical country. It is unlikely to see people walking down the streets with their skin exposed. Only western tourists wear skimpy clothes as they couldn't stand the hot sun.

Most girls now-a-days like to wear revealing clothes ( well ones lacking in modesty) because guys are more attracted to it. I don't know if girls are honestly confident about it? Most say its "cute" and such I think it looks degrading. Sooner or later theres going to be bearly any clothes covering our bodies in my opinoin. Its depressing how they think they HAVE to dress such a way to fit in and be accepted and/or liked by other people.

When I wear clothes majority of the times I don't expose anything, I'm all covered up. But, sometimes I may show off a little skin depending on where I am. Like, if I'm flirting with a guy. But, I don't think there's anything with a girl showing skin all the time, I think that people should dress anyway they want as long as you're comfortable.

We can;t stop the trend and the way people want to dress. But like you, I think there there is a right place for sexy clothes. And I think the the church is not the right place to wear revealing clothes. I love dressing up too, and sometimes I admit I buy short dresses and clothes, but I dont wear them to wander on the street or to go shopping. I wear them on special occasions and the appropriate place. I also dont wear short clothes when I am to go on a gather alone. I think its inappropriate for a married lady to wear revealing clothes when the man is not around. We we can't teach people how to dress. Its their decision and they have to face the consequence. You can't blame men from thinking differently when they see ladies dressing up like that. I also don't like girls who keep pulling down their skirts in public...

me too, i have seen a lot of people going inside the church wearing inappropriate clothes and it is very disrespectful. its ok to wear those sexy clothes only in an appropriate place. i usually expose my skin like wearing mini skirts,shorts or sleeveless only when im at home, beaches or when hanging out with my friends inside the mall or bars. i also consider weather, i exposed much of my skin when it is hot but when its cold,im all wrapped up.
