Do we dress to impress

Do you see the way some people dress these days? In some cases, almost clothes less and even when the clothes are there, the transparency is so clear, you are in view of everything. Now if you should ask those people why do they wear those clothes or if they are trying to impress somebody, in most cases they might say they just feel like, they are just being themselves and no...they really don't care what people think. I begged to differ.

Hot and sexy is just two of the terms that have replaced words like beautiful and lovely in today's modern society. We all like to look good but I am of a strong opinion that whether consciously or sub consciously, ladies do not just put on certain clothes items because its how they are...no..I think they want to hear, they are looking hot and sexy, but how far would we go to hear those words is the question. 

Looking good is one thing. You can wear shorts, spaghetti straps, pants, dress, tights and look good. The clothes can be cheap or expensive and you can still pull off a good look. Accomplishing a good look can yield as many favourable comments as you would like without you losing yourself and favour in it. How can we loose ourselves by our dress? Well here are a few pointers to consider:
  • People tend to judge you by the way you dress even those who commented and say you are sexy, in their minds are saying otherwise. Don't say you dont care because you do
  • It is sad when you certain words such as 'bitch', 'slut', 'bad', etc are used against your name when you know that you are nothing like that. Well the way you dress say those things to some people.
  • Future relationships...marriages. Do you ever notice that generally men who marry, hardly ever chooses the persons they took to the parties in their skimpy clothing, but rather when they choose their wives they can call them sexy when they are clotheless because only their eyes seeing, but other than that the words beautiful, attractive, wonderful, lovely are how they and other people describe their wives.
  • Cant we pull off a look than is hot enough to gain favourable comments without loosing our essence?
Ill like to hear from anyone on this topic: Do we dress to impress?

    1. That is so true... There is no real guidance from parents. Sometimes I watch a young lady and say their parents allowed them to leave the house like that, but then you may see the parent and understand why.
      When I was younger, I would put on something and my brother would say way you think you going in that and I would take it off. It is the nature of young people to follow after fashion and to want to wear the things guys would call sexy or hot. But there are several underlying messages that may be sent that we do not pay attention to. It is the movement from the shorts into the nakedness I am talking about. We know can tell who have on thong, what colour bra and panties they have on simply because there are clothing items that you can buy to expose these and it is called fashion...

  2. this might sound sort a weird but i dress depending on my hair condition,to impress, it has to be a special occasion,i normally give the ladies the props for waking up each day to apply makeup and putting on their fancy clothes,mind you,am not saying not to take care of your self, but some of it is too excessive for daylight.

    1. We all dress to impress whether it is consciously or subconsciously. The fact that wives like to hear it from their husband that they look great is just an example. We like to hear it from other women to. However, how far would we go? I like to put my hair good, add little make up and step out and have heads turn and I do enjoy looking at my husband when I am turning other men's head, but would I go naked to do it or do i put on clothes with that intention...No. The whole idea of 'we still have it going on' is a nice feeling, but for me is the extent to which people go. As I say look at how fashion changed. It takes a certain type of women I believe to wear clothes that do not expose them but can still turn heads, but there are some women who just feel that they have to put it all out there to do that? They do not realise it is not just about clothes, but poise and speech amongst other things.

  3. what can i say? well a lot of people still wonder why so many persons are being raped.... not straying from the topic but it comes back all to how some women dresses as it have been stated in your topic jazzy. here it can also relate to another topic of yours " who attracts us... are they right for us" because a man would see and lust in mind and only want to reach further than what the eyes behold... here we also end up with broken hearts and devious lies which may then become hatred.(delroy)

  4. I appreciate having a male voice on this topic because I believe half of the times the reason why women dress a certain way is to impress men, other times is to compete and a minute amount of time it is for their own satisfaction. Thank you for sharing Delroy.
