Why and when did it become socially acceptable for women to just not wear pants at all in public, or at least where I live?

By that I'm not referring to shorts, skirts, or dresses. I'm referring to women who just simply wear a shirt that's slightly too long and nothing else underneath, not even short shorts. Just either panties or commando. I can tell because there's too much upper thigh for short shorts to exist and I can often see a hint of butt cheek.

The picture is a pretty excellent example of what I mean though looking closely I can't quite tell if it's a long shirt or a dress/skirt that has ridden up while sitting. But let's say that it's a shirt and that it hasn't ridden up and that it's same length while standing for the sake of this question.

Lately I've seen more and more women dressed like this. Before COVID it existed but was rare but after COVID I've seen it several times daily. I've even seen some friend groups with all the women dressed this way.

I asked one female friend who does this why she does it and she said she can only speak for herself but that she got used to dressing this way during COVID and didn't want to revert to the way she used to dress before COVID.

All in all though I'm wondering why and when this became socially acceptable. Or at least where I live. I personally think it looks more silly than hot and doesn't seem practical, especially when sitting in public seats.

You know that hypothetical dream where people go to school without pants on?

Holy shit. And now people have unironically turned it into a reality.

I love this style—it’s super relaxed and easy.

An oversized T-shirt basically works as a T-shirt dress with a bit more of a streetwear vibe. I wear them like this all the time in summer myself. Honestly, it’s not that different from wearing a regular mini dress.

Thank you for your opinion! It low-key blew my mind. I never thought of it in that way and now I'll look at women wearing this style in a different light, a more positive, less judgmental light.

Did you start wearing this style after COVID or did you already do it long before?

[Jooying]

I started wearing this style since I was very little, but do get more often around pandemic not because of Covid, the trend just on its way.

It’s been a common thing for at least 20 years where I live. Possibly longer. The woman in the picture is wearing a skirt, it’s not even the same color as the shirt so it’s obvious. And it doesn’t even look like it would be that short when she stands up.

[Asker]

20 years huh. Wow. And perhaps I'm either stupid or somewhat color blind but it looks practically the same color to me. As for standing up who knows, lol. I know some skirts can ride up like crazy when sitting but others stay the same length.

Miniskirts have been a fashion thing since the 1970s, so nothing new. Just don’t stare if you don’t like to see them? 🤷‍♂️

[Asker]

I know about miniskirts but I'm talking about women who literally just wear a long shirt out in public with nothing underneath.

They put on an oversized shirt and wear nothing but panties underneath and just head out that way.

[DryGermanGuy]

Then that’s probably their sloppy reinterpretation of that look. I guess I’m glad the people in my country dress more responsible but again, I don’t want to waste my time thinking about their style either way.

[Asker]

Sloppy reinterpretation sounds right. It's like they stopped giving a shit after COVID. It's good that people in your country dress more responsible. But yeah, either way best to not pay attention to others too much.

You obviously have delusions of adequacy. You shouldn’t be ashamed of who you are. That’s your parents’ job.

When some broads decided we lads needed to nearly see their p***y.

You answered your own question

[Asker]

Ah damn. You're right. I really did. I'm so dumb.

[Raydergman26]

So you can see there pretty pussys

[Asker]

That figures. No other way around it.

Most girls I know wear pants, nothing unusual.
