What do you think about people who blatantly disrespect dress codes?

[BeeNee]

Most churches, jobs, events have some form of dress code, but what do you think about people who simply ignore them flat out and come wearing whatever they want or dressed completely inappropriately for the time and place?

[notatrap]

Some places are remain formal, and many jobs are less formal now.. so I would say most modern churches this day and age don't have a 'dress code' .. I haven't worn a button up shirt in years, cause they haven't really been in style and I'm not showing up to a retail job. Pretty sure if its a place of worship, God won't mind that I'm in a loincloth to worship.. long as there's no kids there. Many women go in tight dresses, as long as they're not too short, way too revealing or something... again, environment with plenty of children, learn something new, build relations and destress; not to distract others.

So yeah, this is all personal preference. I do like going formal sometimes too, its nice to dress up but based on my community / job.. unnecessary.

I always dress comfortably. I'm a short dresses, short skirts & short shorts kinda person. I was called out by the Priest during a mass for wearing shorts to church. I immediately took to the podium microphone and said: "I don't need to explain myself to you. The Lord would not turn me away for what I'm wearing. He would welcome me because I came to His House for Him. Now, if you don't mind, I shall return to my place in the pew and listen to the Word of the Lord unless you honestly believe you are so righteous to cast me out of this House. This is God's House, not your's." A brief & awkward moment of silence followed after I returned to my seat. The Priest cleared his throat and the mass resumed.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I didn't even look risqué or even slightly indecent at all.

It depends on the rule. In England most schools we have to wear uniform a lot of schools allow girls to wear skirts but don't allow boys to wear shorts. So when summer comes round it can me very uncomfortable for them. I've heard of boys turning up to school in skirts as protest before and it be pretty bad ass but giving today's society its actually probably bre more accepted by teachers if a boys turns up to school in skirt as they have to be progressive tgeses days but not towards boys wearing shorts in school.

A church is a house of god and worship of him. I live in a small country town that have a lot of farms and ranches. I don't have a suit or tux. I have a pair of nice black jeans and nice button up shirts. So when I used to go every one looked down on me for the way I was dressed. That was the last time I attended church. God says he created every one equally and love us all. Well to be looked down on like that proved one thing. People are hippocrates. If someone wants to worship god in church then if they are dressed then what matter does it make. It's not a fashion show its church.

Jobs are different. If you need to dress a certain way then you need to do it. I have had jobs like that and I dressed the way that was required.

I love to wear heels or flats when I go out to the mall or what have you. I dress nice no matter where I go. Granted I wear denim jeans and t shirts with my heels and have gotten many comments and compliments. I like to wear whatever I like and feel like wearing. You will not see me dressing in a way that is revealing my body in a bad way like you dress that way people think that you are selling your self or going to jail. But I have a wide range of what I like. I don't really care about what people think. But I like to know what they think and have gotten good at reading thier facial expressions.

Dont wear a bathrobe to work or a cocktail dress and stripper heels to church. Its common sense. But don't look down on people for dressing in the clothing that they can afford.

[ColoradoKid]

Thank you for the MHA.

It all depends on the time and the place! Like would you come to a wedding or a funeral dressed like Beyoncé at the gala? Of course not that’s disrespectful! But going to school and wearing a tank top even when you were told you can’t? Who’s that hurting? Y’know?

[BeeNee]

My uncles new girlfriend came to my grandfather's funeral in THE most low cut dress. We're talking a super old church that basically still requires you to dress formally and appropriately covered and it was a funeral. She hasn't been invited to much because so many thought she was so disrespectful. I'm 100% sure she had some type of top that would have been more appropriate, but as you say, in school, I had the most insanely strict dress code. They would give you detention for not wearing a belt or shoes with a logo on them and send you home if your parents didn't bring you replacements---did wearing a belt help me learn better? Hmm....

[BCA6010]

They're scumbags, but then again, you can't really fault them alone if the organization hosting the event isn't enforcing their own standards.

My school was very selective in how they enforced their dress code, often ignoring blatant violations until it was several days in a row of repeat offenses. I've never seen a church that I attended state or enforce a dress code. The only public locations I've seen strictly enforce a dress code were formal dining events and restaurants. Government jobs are another animal entirely...

[seansin]

It depends on the situation if it's for work and they signed up to be like that yeah that is breaking somebody's rules now if you're out in public and somebody says you can't go in there somewhere because you don't have a certain kind of way they look I guess they're right to because they own that because of that thing but out and about in life f*** them all everybody should wear what they want to be naked. What I meant is if someone's going to make me wear something I don't like in public I will just not where it all go out naked

[mermaidia_lol]

I think it's incredibly immature.

At my school, it was so annoying seeing girls wearing tank tops or crop tops with leggings underneath a jacket that barely covered anything. As soon as the teachers turned their back, they stripped everything. Like, what's the point? Just follow the dress code. Why would you want to risk getting in trouble? Their actions even costed the entire school to have to hand over their phones until we "understood" how to dress appropriately.

What's the point of being almost naked with skin tight and revealing clothing in front of the entire school, including the male employees there. It makes sense why our school has had several incidents of teachers having inappropriate relations with students.

[esotericstory]

I think they are fetishists looking to satiate their urges by using unwilling and unconsenting bystanders. These fetishes can be exhibitionism, degradation, objectification. Or, they may want to capitalize on others having fetishes for features on their bodies, like feet, wardrobe malfunctions or lots of nude skin for example.

Now, a little caveat here. Sometimes its just hot outside and people want to expose more skin, especially in hot countries, or in countries were little amounts of vitamin D can be absorbed in the winter months. It makes sense then. But simply dressing in ultra-thin fabrics for seemingly no reason. Fetishes are behind it.

I was an airline mechanic in anchorage I started going to a local church at the invitation of a woman I liked. Unfortunately I got off work with very little time for anything but to get there. I wore clean clothes but not a suit and tie. and until I actually joined the church officially it didn't seem to be a problem. After however, comments were made (most notably was goodwill has cheap suits if your broke. After the third Sunday I told my lady friend my concerns. So the following Sunday I suggested she dress down a bit and find out. When she went to the ladies room. She returned shortly redfaced angrywe didn't stay. She had been asked if there were problems at home etc. The ministers wife apparently closed the discussion with"I'd appreciate it if you and your boyfriend looked less. Homeless in the future"

[Bee-Hatch]

Dress codes for churches? Events with a dress code? I think not, turn up to the local sports match or concert in whatever you want. The truth is it's more a guidance note these days than a set in stone thing. Think this is more your problem for trying to stick within a set of outdated rules, and looking down on those who don't.

[BeeNee]

So there should never be any rules becuase you simply don't care to be bothered by following them? No, actually I think not. You literally have rules that you follow every single day (including on this website) that you may or not agree with, and a dress code is different---how? When I go to someone elses house, event, church, it is showing respect to the organizers who planned the event, the sanctitiy of the church and how they respect whatever decorum is designated for that space, or someone elses rules. I mean, I wouldn't come to your house and throw paint on the walls because I thought you needed a touch of color.

[tooturntT]

Depends if someone wore some potty mouth on a t-shirt while we’re doing communion, I’d question if they know where they are, but in the long run i don’t care. They’re not my problem. As for tank tops and shorts I don’t care about it. I break the dress code because it’s my body and I don’t need to be punished because perverted boys can’t keep their eyes from wandering.

[scholastic_vibez]

Here in the U. S. dress codes have really fallen by the wayside in a lot of restaurants and bars. I favor dress codes because it encourages classier people to show up. I remember this night club where as soon as they got rid of the dress code the girls started bringing guys that looked like they belonged to gangs.

[Trolloween]

I don't care at all, they're only clothes and dress codes are totally inane. I regularly ignore stupid rules, for example not allowing men to wear shorts at work when women can wear skirts. If it's 35c outside and there's no ac, why the fuck do I have to wear trousers because I have a penis?

[hammo21]

I can find one reason to "disrespect" the dressing codes and that would be if i say had to where somthing that made me feel uncomfortable like shorts or something, i would also break the code, in school i broke the code cause i refused to wear the shorts

[Anonymous]

I know a man-hater who is like that. Before I dumped her ass (even though we were just friends) she would walk around in ripped jeans and says it's ok for women to wear whatever they want whenever they want for whatever the occassion and when me and a few other guys started to tell her if it would be appropriate to wear a bikini in church or while you're on the air doing your news and i told her no so everything you're saying here is invalid. Then she comes at us like a raging bull spewing man-hating hatefilled shit at us because we proved her wrong. Needless to say she was one of the biggest misandrinists i ever met hence why she became an ex-friend. And she was two-faced and a complete phoney

[Opinion Owner]

She would say try mansplaining yourself out of this situation and when me and a few others proved her points invalid we said to her try womansplaining yourself now. She didn't like that one bit and lashed out even more

[hellacray]

How hard is it to follow a dress code? This is why I think schools in the USA should have uniforms.

So people don't just dress like sluts all the time or guys having their ass showing.

Like can you imagine if cops and even sport teams just dressed however they want?

Just follow the damn dress code it's not the end of the world. If you hate it that much then go somewhere else where there is no dress code.

[BeeNee]

Absolutely. If say a wedding invite says: formal dress or you know a school has a uniform and you don't "do" uniforms, you don't have to go. Instead these people shouldn't since the event, school, church is so incredibly repressive to them. People follow rules they don't like or agree with all day long, so why is this any different?

[hellacray]

Yup that's right.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I think it's horrible. I had a Case Manager back in year 2007
she told me they called her a Hoochy Mamma. Well , she would
come to work and suppose to look professional. She wore jeans
that lets say , showed what any guy wanted to see. Her shirts was
snugged tight too , Yes she worked as a bartender at night and than
come home get some sleep and come to work as a Case Manager
sorry but she didn't dress like a Lady.

[jason0559]

Dress code is good for offices
Sometimes parties also
But at the time of going
To church , temple , mosque or any other place where God statue resides place
it should be simple and sober
Some people break it bcoz they want too look cool and swagy
But a person is good only
When he she is pure from inside
Outer clothes
Cannot tell ur inner beauty

[wankiam]

depends on context... no one thinks a stripper dress in a mosque would be acceptable but im very supportive of the women in the uk that fought to not have to wear high heels to work in their corporate jobs

[Loredey]

I think people who do it on purpose are courageous, cause u have to have a lot of self esteem to come out of the ordinary and more important not to care about what others may think about it.
A ❤ for those people!

[Jjpayne]

It's bold and says something about their personality but it's disrespectful and improper. Unless you are standing up for a cause, it's better to respect those that set up those rules.

[Enchanteddaydream]

I think it’s disrespectful, inconsiderate, and inappropriate. You may not like it but they deserve the right to be respected. You would want the same if you were in their place. I think it’s only right to give each other mutual respect.
