Skirts, because I’ve sometimes seen girls with so short skirts they’re vagina has been hanging out to dry.
Their. Not they’re. Or if you wish to retain the “they are” construction, you would say “. . . they’re hanging vaginas out to dry,” which does not flow nearly as well.
I’m not voting because there is no definition of public in the OP. None of the things listed in the poll would bother me at the beach or on the street, but I’ve sent people home from work for a few of them.
That snopes article agrees with Bridgette that the style originated in prisons, but I have never really bought that theory.
Prisons have been issuing ill-fitting pants and banning belts for ages. But the style of sagging didn’t come about until the 80s.
I have a theory. Right before the style came out, jeans on males were tiiiiighhhttt. I mean, really tight. Made today’s hipster skinny jeans look like Hammer pants.
Breakin’ and pop-locking took off in the 80s, and skin tight jeans won’t work for that dance style. I think the baggy jeans look probably took off there. Of course, the same way tight jeans had went overboard, the baggy look went overboard until sagging was really out of control.
As to the OP, I don’t care at *all *what someone chooses to wear. Ever. As a matter of fact, anyone who can set off the holier than thou tongue cluckers who need to look down their noses at someone else are alright with me.
Is that true for every context? That is, do you care what people are wearing at your job? At a place you are visiting to do business?
You know something? Funny you should ask that, because as soon as I typed that, I remembered something.
A few months ago, there was this girl from the neighboring program (it’s a call center) who wondered over to our program to use the printer. She was dressed like a street whore. No seriously, shirt so low cut and tits propped up to her chin, 4 inch stripper heels, mini skirt hiked up to there…well, put it this way…the call center is kind of known for the women dressing like strippers, so for this woman to even garner a second look, it has to be a major deviance from what the other women are wearing.
So I say to my friend, “Oh my god! She is really out of control with it. There is a limit.”
And my friend looks me in the eye and says, “Really? Why do you have a limit for what she wears. Fucking puritan.”
And he was right. So to make a long story short (I know, I know, too late) I almost cared what someone wears at work. But then my good friend talked me out of it, and I feel much better. Shudder. Never want to be one of those who give a damn about that kind of stuff.
If you work in a call center long enough, where they make men wear ties whilst on the phone with Grandmas plugging in their monitors, just in case a client walks in, you get to the point where you realize who silly the whole “dress businesslike” thing is. It’s silly.
Look at the Nasa dude with the mohawk and stars in his head. Yeah, maybe one doesn’t go to an interview that way, but once one has the job, I think it’s ok to wear whatever you want.
I have heard that some people are distracted by tits hanging out at work though. If that is the case, then I guess I have to admit that it’s not appropriate to have your tits hanging out or your skirt too short or whatever. I mean, it would never distract me from my duties, but I’m not a man, and I hear men are different about that sort of thing.
So I should say, I don’t care what one wears, but I understand if managers limit what one wears at work to prevent distraction.
I’m going to take a stand here - tits hanging out of your skirt is over the line.
There’s nothing on your list that isn’t appropriate at some times. The only thing I can think of that isn’t ever appropriate in public are those shorts that literally show your butt–they’re just that short.
