Inappropriate clothing By : Erick Stoutamire 9/15/2013
Clothing defines the person you are and the person you want to be in the future. The type of clothing you wear can also label you forever be it good or bad . If you are the type of person that wear clothing that is consider inappropriate all the time most likely you’re going to be label as shameless. For example , if a young woman wear leggings and a tight shirt with an opening in the chest area to church it is deemed inappropriate. The way people are today is that they judge you by what you do and what you wear. If you wear nothing but inappropriate clothing you are already setting an first impression. If a young woman dress like a tramp everyday people well start treating her like one no matter how smart she is. The men of the community might go over to her asking for sex everywhere she go . The elderly people of the community will always talk bad about her every time she past by .There may be a time she is kidnapped by a man that very unstable man that gave into his earthly desires. What come with wearing inappropriate clothing is a whole bunch of stereotype. People will assume if your black , wear baggy clothes , and sag your pants to your thighs is that you sell drugs and your not very smart. Some will even conclude that you stay with mother , you have a kid , and you don’t have a high school diploma. All of that could be nothing but false statements by someone who judged you by what you wearing. You could be the smartest person in the world but no one

    Imagine living in a society where your social and economic rank determined the type of clothing you could wear. Quite frankly, I would not have survived in a society that dictated what I can or cannot wear. I would feel suppressed, as if someone was taking away my freedom. I strongly believe that what we wear defines us more than we think. In other words, fashion is an expression of who we are as an individual. However, this was not the case during the medieval period. The clothing in medieval Europe was dictated by the Pyramid of Power or a feudal system. Fashion during the medieval period was not just only about clothing, rather it dealt with economic…

    Psy 475: Attitude Survey

    How an individual dresses impacts how he or she is perceived in the eyes of others. Often times, the way an individual appears in public leaves him or her open to becoming labeled either favorably or unfavorably. Members of society will often judge an individual’s appearance therefore denying any opportunity to know the “inner person.” In today’s society, some of the socially acceptable ways to dress seem to include wearing pajamas in public venues, wearing revealing outfits, and wearing pants so low that one’s underwear is clearly visible. The contents of this paper discuss attitudes and whether or not wearing such outfits is acceptable in society, in workplaces, and in schools.…

    While living in society we are expected to appear or act a certain way. If not,you are frowned upon and have a tough time living in society. In E.J Graff’s “M/F boxes” he tells of a girl from Chicago who was sent to a mental hospital because she refused to wear a dress, a man raped because someone found out that he was physically a female, and a male truck driver fired because he wore women clothes at home on the weekends. People were acting like monsters towards them because they did not follow what was expected of them.…

    In today’s society young women are required to be mindful regarding the attire worn, to avoid negatively enticing the minds of young men. While girls may appear to dress provocatively, young men should exercise self-control in all environments, rather in school or their home setting. Looking throughout our community, you can see the double standards that exist, and what young women have to endure in school. One such article that shows the struggles of young women is in Laura Bates “How School Dress Codes Shame Girls and Perpetuate Rape Cultures.” In this article she covers many topics including society’s views on what is considered acceptable apparel for young women and sexism. The article states that society gives boys permission to sexually harass women because of articles of clothing or the lack thereof. The world we live in today perpetuates a culture where girls cannot simply wear clothing of their choice, due to the fact boys may find them irresistible. This makes it extremely difficult for young women to be treated without bias, dress…

    In ariticale “All Clothing Is Costume” Laia Carcia (2015) argues that with the development of high fashion growth the line between clothing and costume is blurred and we all wear costume every day. In her article, she gave different example to support her idea. For example, people who wear a type of costume and uniforms in their daily life, such as school uniforms, nurse’s scrubs, airline attendant outfits and business suit. If these clothes can dress as a profession for Halloween, the every-day wear counts as a costume. In a word, the author think the clothing is costume.…

    In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, before Laertes leaves for France, Lord Polonius advises his son Laertes that, “The apparel often proclaims the man”. This quote states that people in general, form judgements, based upon what clothing a person wears. In today’s society, we still see the same type of judgement happening! People are judged on a daily basis for what they put on their bodies. Whether it’s a way to express yourself or just your style; women and men of all ethnicities, races, and sexual orientation are subject to being judged based upon the clothes that they…

    It says in the article written by Winn, “ At least fashions then encouraged teens to dress well, while sagging jeans and hoodie styles would be shunned in the 60’s society” (Winn). This reveals how teenagers thought it was good to dress well. Also, people care about how others think about them because if you go and apply for a job and you're dressed inappropriately or if you are all dirty, they most likely will not hire you because they may think if that is how much respect you have for yourself, how are you going to take a job seriously. Even if a person needed your help, they may feel uncomfortable around…

    It seems a bit unfair and unrealistic for women to be shamed for their clothing and labeled when the only difference is gender. In her article “What’s Wrong With The Media’s Portrayal of Women Today, And How To Reverse It,” Kathy Caprino states, “you’ll be as stunned as I am at dichotomy between what we are saying is possible for women today (that they can ascend to leadership, launch their own successful businesses, and sit at the board table equally with men, rather than being relegated to only 16% of corporate leadership), vs. how women are actually being depicted in the media. From my view, popular media focuses much more heavily on a whole host of negative or limiting aspects of women, including an intense scrutiny of and emphasis on their looks.” This sums up the whole idea and misunderstanding of how a woman's appearance can…

    From the time of the Ottoman Empire through the twenty-first century, people have worn clothes. Although styles have come and went, clothing still defines your status, personality, and origin. Clothing still has, essentially, the same concept to it—to cover what is not to be seen. Clothing has grown throughout the ages in styles and developments, such as the fit and the process in purchasing clothes for both men and women.…

    In today’s society, everything can easily become sexiest. We over analyze everything to make it easier to blame other people for our own well-being. Society says you must be a certain way and act a certain way, and if you don’t then you won’t have the right future. We easily blame clothing stores and their advertisements when we should start with the labels that parents and society puts onto these clothing. In Chitra Ramaswamy’s article, Chitra Ramaswamy goes on about sexism in the article she had written titled 'How a Sexism T-shirt harms us all'. Her thesis statement states that sexism is a huge problem, especially in kids clothing. That boy’s clothes have fire trucks or Albert Einstein in the front of it while young girls clothing has a…

    School Dress Code

    • 1490 Words
    • 6 Pages

    At the age of 12, Pooja Patel got dress coded because of her choice of a jean skirt, leggings, and a scoop neck t-shirt. “I was in science class working on a group project. I felt a tap on my shoulder from my homeroom teacher, who had seen me earlier that day. She asked if she could speak with me outside and I obliged. She then told me something that has stuck with me: “Pooja, I know you like fashion, but I have heard some boys in your class talking about the way you are dressed. I think it would be best if you go change.” I was ashamed. I felt ashamed that people were talking about my clothing. I felt ashamed of my outfit choice. And most of all, I felt ashamed of my body. At the time I felt as if I had done something wrong, but in retrospect I was the one who had been wronged. Fervent dress-coding is not only sexist; it also reinforces an already-prevalent body shaming culture, kick-starting the phenomenon at an early age. I understand that we cannot expect to be able to wear crop tops and ripped jeans in the fourth grade, but school dress codes create an environment where women learn early on to feel ashamed of their bodies.” (Patel) The fact that this 12 year old girl got punished for dress code because some childish boys were talking about the way she dressed is disgraceful. It made her feel awful about her self even though she wore nothing that showed too much skin or anything along…

    Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Today 's society is built upon the values of freedom, independence and the rights of man. The freedom of expression and the basic rights that were fought for are taken away by strict school dress codes or mandatory school uniforms. Everyone should have the freedom to wear what makes them comfortable. The choices in clothing and accessories can increase self-esteem. Clothing choices can also bring awareness to a particular voice of opinion as well as making it a statement of fitting in with a crowd because the need to be a part of something is a basic need for all humans especially school aged children and teens.…

    Why I choose to be a retail store owner of an Urban Clothing store? One of the reasons is because I like urban clothing, reasoning for that is because the design of the clothing catches my eye and my attention. I know a lot of people have gone into clothing stores and found it hard just to find that one shirt you are looking for to match your shoes or that one pair of jeans. Well I feel like an urban store has it all, because it comes down to the designs and style and prices that will be very reasonable. I believe I will fit to be a retail store owner when it comes to urban clothing. I am very confident in my style and would love to share it with the community.…

    I do not believe it’s right for females having to be ashamed for what they wear and express. There are many ways in which a male can represent his personality, whether it’s speech, apparel, or mentality. Boys get to come to school in tank tops and shorts that possibly don’t even touch their knees, but can never get called out for it. Most people believe that if you are going to school, then you are only going to get educated and be serious. Let’s take a look at this survey here named “should kids wear what they want in school?” In this post on a survey people got to talk to, a parent had said, “Kids should wear, and dress free because it helps them become more creative, and they will work better, it might just inspire the kid into working harder in class so they can get their work finished and maybe learn something.” I am with this student, for the fact of adding that kids would feel more creative if they got to wear what they want to express themselves. Apparel does not just have to express your personality, it can express emotions also. Most kids come to school and don’t feel comfortable expressing how they feel to anyone so their clothing is the way to do…
