No. They are not bad at all. Itās simply a matter of choice and preference. Thereās just a couple of things to factor into deciding to wear them. Biggest factor among them is the where. Wearing revealing clothing at the beach, park, a night out dancing, a date, or an amusement park may all be fine. The same outfit at a kids school event, workplace, or classroom may not be completely off limits but sure is going to create some negative response from some people as it treads into an area where some may not be comfortable. Weddings, funerals, job interviews, church, work functionsā¦this could be a real thing and cause some reactions you may not want.
What are the reactions you may face? Absolutely, 100%, dislike and friction from other women. Some women can be outright mean and rude toward prettier women. Their man starts checking the other girl out and straight up anger and aggression can flare up. You may also have to contend with men (and some women) checking you out. When itās that gym guy with the arms youāre talking about it probably will be fun. When itās the pot-bellied creeper with a giant bald spot you may feel very uncomfortable. You need to sort out how you will feel & react to these things.
Lastly, somewhere in my life I realized I loved a woman in revealing clothing but particularly one who can pull it off classy and with feminine style. A woman who understands that revealing doesnāt necessarily have to mean as much exposed skin as possible is truly a thing to behold. Be sure to keep your class about you and donāt get so carried away with it that you tarnish meaningful relationships, such as with your parents, family, or close friends. There is a time and place for these things.

Ignore the value judgements.
The fact of the matter is that if you wear revealing clothing, more people will stare at you... particularly men... especially smoothbrain, hideous men who have no concept of self-control and will stare holes in you.
In past centuries, wearing revealing clothes would have incited those same smoothbrain, hideous men to rape you on sight... but fortunately these days that mostly only happens with refugees from muslim countries who have no concept of how to behave in a civilised society (though there are other uncivilised people too).The point is that, like it or not, there are negative consequences to revealing yourself even if you like how it looks... everybody should probably be aware of those consequences... and the "hate" you're getting from your parents is a reaction to the existence of those negative consequences and you effectively choosing to ignore them.
Besides, if I might be so bold as to say this... the very idea that society presents these sorts of outfit as "looking good" is precisely because they ARE sexual in the first place. Society WANTS you to wear things that men will stare at. Anime most certainly is frequently made to appeal to male sexual desires and will promote things which are revealing for that very reason.
So ultimately... are you willing to accept the consequences in order to look the way society has told you is good?
Youāre basically asking about purity culture, and rape culture alongside the hypersexualization of women, which is a whole lecture apiece lol
The extremely summarized answer would be that institutions like the patriarchy and the church wanted women to look and act a specific way in order to āhonor godā and also their husbands. Youāre welcome to love whatever look you want regardless of how much it exposes, but there are going to be people who make inaccurate and harmful assumptions because of these influences and unfortunately you canāt determine how other people see you. It may not be a good part of life, or one you can enjoy, but you can still do you as you want to, just donāt expect your mom to be happy about your outfit choices.
Is not hating but if you want to be respected you need to present yourself a certain way. Respect is something that is earned and first impressions matter a lot. Is true that a lot of women who dress more modestly can have behave inappropriately and women who wear more revealing clothes can also be sweet and mature. But most of the times what we wear is an extension of our personality so if you wear revealing clothes all the time I'm going to assume you're attention seeking and is going to be hard for me to take you seriously.

Understandable. I think if I was in much better shape myself Iād wear nicer clothes. Not so much revealing, but things like dress shirts, dress pants, etc. So I can see why a girl would want to wear something like that because she thinks it looks cute, especially if sheās earned it by going to the gym. I think part of it is, is it appropriate for the setting. There are a lot of women who wear revealing clothing because they like the attention. We canāt control what others think or say. Iāve known women do dressed modestly but slept around, same w the reverse w women who showed more skin but didnāt sleep around. Sadly that type of dress style has been associated w that type of behavior. Again not always true but a lot of people in society associate that style w slutty, promiscuous women. Iām not a cop, but if I wore a cops uniform in public people would think Iām a cop. Thatās just the reality of it. Your mom was born during a different time, she probably didnāt dress like that. Maybe she did but acts as if she didnāt. You just have to find that peace of mind in yourself w out seeking everyoneās approval. Itās never going to happen.
just be yourself... if you like some kind of clothes, wear them, just put an effort into keeping the way you look inside of the acceptable range. You are not a sole user of public places, and your appearance can have some impact on other people...
Revealing clother DO NOT make a woman slutty or something else in bad manners whatsoever. The value of a woman cannot be measured with the clothes. It's totally their preference but avoidance of disturbance to others is a requirement. I find revealing clothes so sexy yeah I am infatuated but never disturbed woth any of them.
it is a generation gap.
parents are old fashioned. she wants you to dress a certain way.
but clothing is dressed! i am 50 but i get with the times. common is common. not slutty. and slutty is the stuff pole dancers wear! different!
The truth is that the world is judgmental and has always been. Someone will always judge you for whatever you do. Like you, I came from a pretty traditional family. Some will laugh when you dress conservative, then also judge if you dress revealing. It's so weird lol. Just wear anything that makes you feel beautiful and let their eyes roll. Life is too short to give a damn about what other people think, queen. Flaunt it. āØ
Clothes cannot make someone slutty. They are literally just a piece of fabric

its nth new yk societal norms, different cultures n religious beliefs largely contribute to the judgmental attitudes towards revealing clothes for women n its also based on individual perspectives therefore some regard it as less elegant n pretty
Modesty is dressing in a way that doesnāt bring attention to your body. So, itās really subjective. I think that you should wear whatever you want as long as you arenāt trying to be sexual. A lot of cute clothing is short and little, but itās not supposed to be slutty. Some people just sexualize things too much.
It depends, if it's classy and a little revealing, not a problem. If the clothes are a little to revealing then they could be on the slutty end of the spectrum.
I think women wearing revealing clothing is fine as long as they don't overdo it, or wear that type of clothing too often.
This sums up my views!
@Misscouincouin i wear however I want to and however I look sexy.
either itās revealing or not.
The only reason to wear revealing clothing is for attention from strangers. Attention seeking is an off putting quality.

I'm not judgy like that myself...
Because most men donāt think the same as women do. The world doesnāt see with a believers eyes either, they see with the devils eyesā¦.
Because society never objectified men. A girl who dresses revealingly generally is seeking attention with a sexual undertone.
If you wear the uniform of a hoe don't be surprised when men see you as a hoe.
Always believe wear in which you feel comfortable
I take the Dave Chappelle approach to this. If you dress like a cop people will mistake you for a cop.
I donāt hate you! What are you wearing?
