Do you like current womens' fashions?

I wouldn’t call that womens fashion.

I’d call that tramps outfits.

I hate the fashion now…
im a 17 year old girl and i do not want to be walking around my campus with butt cracks hanging out.
girls could be so pretty and respectable, but they choose to look easy…which gives all the other girls a bad rep.

@LaurenLauren – Wow, and here I thought it was my age showing again, I am relieved to hear that a young woman feels the same. Hopefully, it will change soon, that is the good part about fashion, it always changes if you wait long enough.

My daughter and her friends try hard to be cute, but they refuse to let various bits of their anatomy show like that.

Perhaps folks that dress that way need to be subjected to the “360 Degree Mirror of Death” so they can see what they really look like.

And thank goodness for changing fashions.
It doesn’t make much sense to me, its so easy to look cute without revealing too much.
Which many girls do..but there are always the few who just cant keep it on.
i think its more of a confidence booster.
if a girl reveals more, she gets more attention.

And then there are the current fashions for actual women (not girls) that insist on adding ruffles to everything, including blue jeans, and the strange high seam line that makes those of us who tend to look like potato sacks tied in the middle with string really look like potato sacks tied slightly above the middle with string.

I can’t wait until that passes, too.

I think the part of Australia where I live is a little behind the times as well. Not to mention HOT HOT HOT. So most people wear fewer clothes, but still I don’t think having your butt hanging out really makes you that much cooler!

i’ve noticed that looking around at the mall.
it seems like fashion designers design clothes for one type of body, thinking that it will look good on everybody. Its getting much better nowadays, but still needs improvement.

That’s not fashion, that’s exhibitionism. A few women with poor judgment might dress like that because they see it on the store models, or celebrities.

I always thought it would be great if the waistlines got lower. Then it happened. 8^(

For some reason, the women/girls/tramps/females (choose your preference) that ended up wearing them do not have the bodies to do so. Most of the ones who could get away with it have the decency not to. I believe you are right, @LaurenLauren; they only think of how the fashions look on one body type while the rest of us have to suffer through the wrong ones finding out the hard way.

@ru2bz46
thats completely true! most of the women i see are wearing these unsightly outfits. it may be because of the lack of variety in clothing designs, but in many cases you can tell its not. haha

If that is what you call “the current style”, then ummm, NO.

@LaurenLauren I’m actually hoping for the high-waisted pants from the 80’s come back, now. Unfortunately, the opposite problem can happen there (too little backside), but at least it’s not gross like the muffin tops. :P

i would much rather see too little backside, then pretty much the WHOLE thing.
i really like the whole 80’s kind of look, i wish it would come back. Not the whole, Madonna or Punk Rock scene, but the retro kind of look, i really like it.

The clothing on American Apparel’s has really moved deeper into the realm of skank…

@AlfredaPrufrock – You aren’t kidding! Somehow, my older cousin thought it would be a great idea to buy my daughter some items from there…nope, not a good idea. She won’t wear the stuff – and if she wanted to wear it, we would say no.

Having the right body type or not, this is one of those, “Just Say No!” moments.

Before I left USA almost 11 years ago, I was crazy about everything from Abercrombie & Fitch, now it looks as if they are selling doll clothes. I loved the roomy, loose and easy fit and I was skinny then! Now I buy from Title 9 and Life is Good, they still have sort of loose and easy and Ralph Lauren Saturday jeans, they are nice and loose too.

All the comments to date are more concerned with people’s laughable down home vallluess being offended than actual fashion.I suggest you forget about the cultural wasteland that was the 1980s ,or worse yet 1950s , which were pure unadulterated crap, and join the rest of us in the 21st century.

As for the actual fashion, most designers create for a 5’11, size 4 girl(teens-early 20s) in mind. Which is why so few creations make it past the runway…most people don’t look like that.

Fashion designers are screwed no matter what they do, size 14 middle aged women look ridiculous in Brazilian low riders with exposed midriffs, and I look ridiculous in maxi dresses or pant suits.

Oh, @LaurenLauren, when I said, “too little backside”, I was trying to be polite about saying, “she’s got no ass, so the high waist just creates a ‘billboard’ or ‘movie screen’ effect back there”.

I would rather watch a movie projected on the flat ass of a woman wearing high-waisted pants than to see a fat chick’s muffin tops spilling over her low-waisted jeans.

@HarmonyAlexandria Sorry, but I really was talking about fashion. My laughable down-home values made me word my earlier answer a bit weirdly.

@HarmonyAlexandria – if by fashion you mean the weird stuff you see on movies stars and models that the average person cannot afford or perhaps wouldn’t wear anyhow, you are in a league beyond me. Fashion to me is what the majority of women are wearing in their everyday lives. My point is I don’t particularly want to see you hanging out of your Brazilian low riders no matter how attractive you think your butt is. I don’t think that is down home value, I call it a sense of propriety but call it what you wish. I never liked the look on old fat men and I don’t like it much more on women. I don’t like bellies down to public hair hanging out either. Just my personal opinion.

The worst, by far is the saggy jeans! I think that if all those guys knew where the whole pants below the butt fad began (Don’t drop the soap!) they would put on a belt! For women, many of the styles right now are cute if you know where to shop. One of the only trends lately that I do not understand is the jumpsuit things. Romper (the short one), I think that’s what they’re called, are okay for the beach but those crazy astronaut looking things that take away any shape you may have are just NOT cute in my book.
All these young girls try so hard to push up here, and show off there in order to look older when, in actuality, if they were to dress more conservatively they would look more mature and gain the respect of others.
