Is it inappropriate for a girl to be showing her midriff?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[InTimoreDei]

So sick of that trend. Everywhere I go, there's stomachs flashing, entire breasts flashing, and buttocks flashing. Barely any girls dress classy anymore. When I do see a classy vintage girl though, I am blown away even more than before because she is a rare sight now.

Saw a girl like this below in Rockabilly (1950's) style the other day. Nothing beats that! Rockabilly girls > crop top/sweat pants/yoga pants

The are times where you should wear the appropriate clothing.
If casually it's fine but if you are going to a job interview you probably want to have something more suitable.

There are people who think you should be able to wear anything anywhere but there is appropriate clothing for appropriate times.

[jenxxl]

the double standards between men and women is shocking. a man can run around shirtless but a woman showing her midrift raises some eyebrows? its your body, and as long as you don't wear it to work, then i don't see any problem.

[PrettyRegular]

I disagree. It wouldn't be ok for men to show their stomach in like a shopping mall, but it's ok for women.

[jenxxl]

@PrettyRegular i see shirtless men all the time especially those fit models promoting a store, yet no one bats an eye

[PrettyRegular]

I think too that everyone should always wear shirt outdoors, unless in the beach.

[jenxxl]

@PrettyRegular i'm sorry, but i disagree. i don't think anyone should have say on what adults choose to wear in their free time. my problem is how women are usually subjected to different societal rules. i'm all for 'my dress my choice' for both genders

[PrettyRegular]

Ok. I think that it's a public place for a reason. Showing midriff is fine, but maybe being shirtless could be a bit awkward for others and I don't know, is it a part of the good mannors either.

[Commander_Red]

Some men need to stop talking about what is "appropriate" for a girl when they walk out with no shirt sometimes. It irritates me that people can't mind their own and let others wear what they want.

[nojokecarmichael]

That and the women that cosign those type of men

[AnnaFaithly]

🙌🙌🙌

[TiredMonkey]

I'm guessing the person asking is from a less developed country.

[DocilexElle]

Girl... as in... teenager or woman? Either way, it depends on where she is going. If she is going to school, a school concert or an interview; that's not appropriate. If she's going to a club, rock concert, staying home; that's okay! It's too hard to say for sure. The mall might be fine too, but for a fancy dinner... of course not! Then there are those who say 13 is too young, and 40 is too old to wear this style. You can't win. Lol.

[-Asca-]

Why would it be inappropriate in schools?

[DocilexElle]

@-Asca- AT LEAST when I was younger, it was against Student Dress code. I don't call the shots, I just say how it was.

[BaileyisDarcy]

Nope. Unless you're talking formal wear, then it is.

I wore a crop top once... got a few comments, none directly but I did over hear one granny doing the whole "kids these days" spiel.

Probably doesn't help that I was mucking around with my Poppy (grandpa) calling him an overgrown woman XD I must have sounded horribly disrespectful but thats just our dynamic!

Never wore the crop top again though. I still own it, just haven't had another day where I've felt so bold.

[xEmmorixX]

I used to but I'd get criticized or weird stares from bigger individuals. Told I shouldn't wear it that it looks terriible.
Only certain kinds of girls wear that.

Pointing out all my flaws. I work hard for my body I didn't feel ashamed to be proud of it at those times.

[Ellie-V]

No. There’s nothing sexual about ribs or belly buttons. People need to get a grip.

[goodlongman]

LOL... everyting is sexual...

[Jaximus-Lion]

It's not my business what others wear. If they feel good wearing it , why would it matter about what I think? People can go out all naked and i would't care as long they are minding their business and am minding my own.

[rubyrose83]

It's only appropriate if she's not fat & has a flat stonach. I see a lot of girls wearing them with rolls hanging out - that seems highly inappropriate to me

[jcampbell115]

The one girl at the gym last night had shorts pulled way up, and a top that only came down so far, so she had midriff showing. I figure that was for attention

[ecfresh]

Depends on where she is. If at a funeral yes. If on the beach no. Mostly no, but there are occasions which she should cover it up.

[Mexicoman101]

I find that very hot, actually. Especially if she's on the thick side. I consider it a personal victory of the day when I see a cutie walk around showing it off.

[CarpetDenim]

Maybe not inappropriate, but definitely unprofessional

[5yrup]

im practically naked in my profile picture so i think its obvious where i stand on this subject... Dont Give A Fuc

[aaronbw]

Perhaps you should stop worrying about what women are wearing and simply exercise self control and quit staring.

[andreasderjuengere]

Not automatically. But certain situations/occasions or certain body shapes call for covering. Which (obviously) is not universally known.

[TacosRAwesome]

No but it depends on the occasion. No matter how good your midriff looks, don't show it if you're meeting the queen or have a job interview.

[Clo917]

Considering I practically live in crop tops, I don’t think so, it’s just a midriff, no biggie.

[shri23]

For me if I am comfortable than I can wear anything

[taylorw]

is this an actual question?

this is 2018! wear whatever you want

[Littlewife]

Depends. Lile if she's fat or flabby it's frankly gross.

[Megatrizzle]

No, unless you're religious or live in the middle east or something.

[MScifiwriter]

Definitely not in a professional setting such as an office! But a night out on the town or even a weekend camping... then sure why the hell not!

[Haaps]

Depends on the situation. A business meeting. Yes. A causal environment. No.

[MysteriousDarkness]

It mainly depends on where the person is going for example church, formal event, court etc would be inappropriate. Beach, night club, amusement park appropriate. I think a woman 18+ is okay as well.

[LadyJade007]

Nope but it also depends where ur going. If ur going to skl, work or funeral, that’s inappropriate. But it’s fashion. Plus, what’s a big deal of showing off ur tummy?

[always_excited]

No way, it is sexy as hell, as long as she has a nice midriff!

[Johnnie1000]

If it is just the midriff it good. If it runs up to her tits its tacky.

[Anonymous]

Is it inappropriate for a guy to show his butt crack?

[Asker]

I think so. But it doesn't really answer my question.

[InTimoreDei]

Obviously it is. Modesty isn't just for women.

[helva]

You have to see where and with whom you're doing it.

[goodlongman]

not at all its very sexy... but you need to be slender for this

[Temporal_Ice]

Who really cares? But it certainly something you can't wear in certain circumstances.

[QueenOfBeers]

Depends. Is it inappropriate for a guy not to wear a shirt? Whatever you say is your answer.

[ad95x]

Surely it depends on the situation. If she is just walking down the street, she should be free to wear something that shows off her midriff.

[Anonymous]

It is completely obsurd they are not at the beach in a bikini, and even that only happens the way it does in America.

[Anonymous]

No. It’s just skin. What is inappropriate is judging a girl for her body or choice of clothing.

[Johnnie1000]

Why not? Girls buy clothes because they want a certain look. They want a look to show themselves off or makes them comfortable looking a certain way.

[Opinion Owner]

You misread my comment sir.

[Johnnie1000]

I appreciate the sir, not needed. Call me Johnnie.. But I screwed up and thanks for the check.

[SngBirdy]

This mentality... holy shit.

[bamesjond0069]

Dress like a slut, I will assume you are a slut.

[Anon-ymous1]

Yeah if it's a massively fat/flabby/gross one. Otherwise no.

[DamnSam]

It depends on the area... here is it like "no shirt rules"
Woman - free drinks
Men - no drinks

[arun934]

Not only a fashion at present. But it shows the real beauty of a girl. Especially in Indian sarees.

[GenPhilosophy]

Depends on where, whats going on... etc.

Public in Florida during Summer, absolutely.

Family funeral, no.

[Malik00]

Nope frankly if i was a woman i would honestly refuse to wear an outfit that didn't at least show the midriff

[Anonymous]

Tin Indian culture we how our belly while wearing the saree

[up_64]

Do were not muslims. W9men can wear what they please

[_hottchocolatee]

I only show it if I’m at the pool and I’m swimming but other than that no.

[Cask23]

Appropriate for what? Going to work, going to the gym, going to the club?

[MidnightCowboy]

She can show whatever she wants

Anyone who disagrees is a sexist religious asshole

[Sixgun77]

I don't care if it's appropriate or not, I love when they do.

[Anonymous]

It isn't, however, I had to sit next to this girl in 9th grade who constantly try showing that. It was... uncomfortably weird.

[dontgofalling]

I don't think so.
But I think it's also really sexy (;

[bmis2hot]

I think at a certain age and in the right setting it might be ok.

[Pamina]

It's 2018, for crying out loud.

[polishedwingedhussar]

You can be surprised about how nutz people can be for what they deem as purity and wish and want to force others on doing what they believe and ignore what others think

[Pamina]

@polishedwingedhussar I'm not even surprised (sadly), just annoyed and irritated at how backwards people still are.

[InTimoreDei]

That argument makes me laugh so hard. We started naked in this world... neanderthals had more hair for that reason in order to protect from the elements. Slowly we gained more intelligence so we created clothing. As time went on, and society progressed, we wore more clothing and appreciated modesty.

So, I love when girls say "it's 2018... let us show off our skin" as argument for forward thinking when in fact THAT is backwards. You want to be like ancient cultures and neanderthals.

[Pamina]

@InTimoreDei Thanks for the history lesson. Now explain to me again how it's not utterly ridiculous to have a problem with women showing some skin.

Your argument doesn't even make me laugh. It's just plain dumb.

[Pamina]

Oh, and maybe also tell me if you think "modesty" standards should have stayed the same as a couple 100 years ago, for instance, when it was considered inapporpriate for women to merely show their bare ankles?

What a fucking joke. And like I said, not the funny kind.

[Pamina]

@InTimoreDei Or rather, don't. I just read some of your other posts. You're a wackjob. No point in arguing with you.

[lovedejj_xo]

Nope not at all. Just a stomach lol

[BornFree]

Far from being inappropriate

[Kenni]

As inappropriate as showing your face 😑

[wingattebaby16]

One of the sexiest things a girl can wear.

[BrittBratt2416]

Depends on the occasion and location

[Carley99]

No depending on your culture

[Prof_Don]

Inappropriate? No not in the slightest.

[avalonbob]

If you're 24 and not fat, no. If you're 44, yes.

[ATuairiscean]

I have no issues with it

[Quidthonian]

I voted no. I think its sexy.

[NaughtySarah]

I love showing my midriff

[goodlongman]

and you have a beautiful shap for it

[NaughtySarah]

@goodlongman Aww thanks

[Syrian_survivor]

I mean
It's pointless :|
