Modest Clothing Trend

Modest Clothing Trend: Styles come and go. Could there be shift toward a more modest, layered look on the rise among women? An article entitled "Mom Shocked by Teen's Modest Clothing" at CNN.com says there is. The article says, "At the spring Paris fashion shows, Stephanie Meyerson -- trend director for youth culture at Stylesight, a retail forecasting firm -- saw a definite "moving away from overtly sexual" in teen fashion, especially through layering and comfortable baggy looks. "Girls are dressing for themselves, as opposed to dressing for guys," she said. "The guys might not like it but the girls are not wearing really tight shirts. They're covered up."

I saw this on AOL's newspage.
I liked the comments about the article... - they included many comments about how it's the mom fault if a teenage daughter dresses like a lounge singer. She has the right to say no to a piece of clothing, she doesn't have to just let it go. If she cares enough to make comments on how she is glad they are dressing modestly, she should care enough to tell her no to slutty clothes. Geez... WHO is in charge here?!

I can only wholeheartedly agree.
