What Is Wrong In Dressing "sexy"?

IMO, sexy is different for different people. For me, ultra low waist jeans, body hugging dress or tee a no no. I feel sexy in a dress or tee/ jeans combo when it hugs (skims) my curves nicely but not form fitting. Top button undone on a button down shirt that shows enough skin without showing cleavage.

 

Its more important to dress for yourself not others. Absolutely nothing wrong in dressing sexy. Or dressing modestly and thinking sexy.
The problem is when the intentions are wrong. Most people dress sexy to achieve something or someone. The generalisation is because being sexy is usually linked to such behaviour. Say a girl is wearing a low cut top, it means she is wearing a low cut top. But most people connect it to her morale somehow and may label her to be manipulative.

 

OP- I didn't read the thread but the man's behavior is unacceptable regardless what the woman is wearing. Her body her wish.
A woman can and should wear whatever she feels like. I don't like certain things but that doesn't mean no one should wear it.
People are so ready to judge and jump to conclusions. Live and let live is my motto .

 

@anika987 I read a couple of pages of the thread that is posted... I can't believe the thread thrived. It happens to be woman criticize others for wearing low rise jeans.

I have a sister and we both have different body types- growing up in upper middle class and liberal parents. We were raised more or less to have a tomboyish look.
The tomboyish look worked for my sister and me until we were teenagers. We were encouraged to wear shorts, pants, skirts. We maybe had one pair of salwar or lehenga just for the name sake.
The min we hit puberty- boy did my mother change. It's the same woman who never said anything how we dressed had a lot to say on our clothing.
I had it the worse.. but if you ask my sis she will say the same thing. My mother was hard! Very hard on us on the dressing. No, we weren't forced to wear salwar or lehngas overnight.... but no deep necks, no low rise, No tank tops, no crop tops ( it wasn't a trend back then.. but crop tops were there)
Both my sis and I are petite but I am the one who never got off training bra and she never needed a training bra.
My mother had to approve my sis's clothing before she went out
Even with getting us to dress in modest clothes- both my sis and I had a bad incident and we never told our parents.

My sis and I were walking home after 6pm and one guy opened his fly and showed us his penis! ( i think we were walking back home from my sisters tuitions---I forget).I was 16 and my sis was much younger, we were so terrified that this happened but I knew if we told this incident to our parents we would be subjected to dress in outdated clothes. So nope we didn't tell. And from that point on if we wanted to come back home, we either called our driver to pick us up or my sis would ask me to get my 2 wheeler.

I can understand my mother's plight in getting us to look modest. I think it's good my mother was that way.. it saved us a lot of trouble.

I think to an extent my sis and I are comfortable in shorts and have a good sense of fashion coz we were given the freedom at an early stage. I think it is coz of the society that we kinda have to dress modest. Coz it gave my mom a bit of confidence that we would be safe if we were dressed modestly.

 

Yea man!! this is something some of my friends also told me that they have faced!!
Why why do men behave in such vulgarity!! Don't they have sisters, daughters, and mothers? Don't they think twice before doing these things?
I seriously pity people who have to do public transport!

Yes absolutely true. Everyone should look sexy without feeling they will be harassed. I think it's that part that holds a woman back in trying to look sexy.
It's only the men who should change their thinking and attitude. Because woman dress sexy doesn't mean men have the need to violate or harass a woman.

 

Nothing wrong in wearing whatever clothes anyone wants as long as they have the FIGURE for it !!!,,, otherwise as they say in US, you don't want to end up looking like a tramp/whore or from a cheap neighborhood !!..No-one will say anything but if someone doesn't have the right figure for the sexy clothes they are wearing, people would assume that person to be a tramp/whore or from a cheap neighborhood !!
