Have real women forgot how to dress Feminine

[Cathrine]

Hi there just a thought i have had for a while now.

seeing that i am studing women warking around the malls and such like i have noticed that women REAL have forgotten how to dress as a woman, it is all jeans pants shorts t-shirts ans the like, and the us gurls dress in what they should be wearing, (IF THIS IS MAKING SENSE).

SO My Question is have women forgetten or just don't want to dress in feminine clothing anymore????

Thanks
Cathrine

um, *waits for the thunder to come rolling* - putting down any gender here for how they dress is going to get you a slap from the mods.

saying that women "should" be dressing in any particular way is insulting.

What I think, is that both men and women don't really put much effort into looking good any more. If you wear a suit to go shopping all eyes are on you just as they would be while wearing a dress and stilettos. Dress to fit in and no one notices you, guy mode or girl mode.

To answer your question more directly,no. Women haven't forgotten how to dress, they and the guys are just following a trend of wearing blah stuff. Times have changed since the 60's and before. Men used to wear ties and women wore dresses.Women's fashion is pretty much reshaped men's clothing. Boy this and boy that. Don't get the idea that I'm upset by this. I wear what girls wear to go out and I pass by everybody. When I wear a pencil skirt, everyone notices because I stick out in the crowd of sweat pants and tee's!

We're a nation of slobs.

You are on a sticky wicket here Cathrine. You’re new here but you will soon learn girl.
But I will stick my neck out and say I know exactly what you mean.

[For the mods. I did not mean a word of that]

To the contrary. Women can teach us especially a lot. They know how to be themselves as people. Many of us seem to need some kind of "model". Think about it.:)

[Cathrine]

I am not trying to bash anybody here it is just an observation and it is upsetting that gone are the days where going out was an event and not just another thing to do in sweat pants and a t with hair in a pony tail, it is a pity that we as people have just let our appearances slip to a point where we could not give a hoot how we look to other people. except if we go out to find a mate (sounds primal) i have lived by a saying THERE IS NO EXCUSS FOR NOT LOOKING GOOD.

mens clothing is well as dull as watching a snail cross a road and as slow with the the look i mean how much can a pair of pants change.

if i was a real girls by body type i would dress my best all the time and i would stay clear of pants and if i had to wear pants they would be as feminine as possible as i am a female and not a male contrudiction there seeing i am a guy wearing womens clothes but in my defence it is my lifestyle not a fashion statement.

I understand what you are saying but the determination of what is "masculine" and what is "feminine" is relative and is mostly in the eye of the beholder making the observation.:)

[Cathrine]

it is regardless of gender people in general just seen not to care anymore i mean what they wear out is what i wear at home for comfort reasons i have even seen people walking around malls in slippers i mean come on SLIPPERS you really mean you could not even bother to put shoes on to go out to the shops, that is the kind of thing that gets me and some people look like they have been pulled through a bush backwards and not one person even bats an eye at that. that is why i am getting to a point in life i just could not care if someone notices that i am a transvestite at least i don't look like a bum on the side of the road

ok i am ranting now abit off topic but my point is dress for the occasion not just to cover your skin

Women dressing feminine? I don't think it's the clothes that makes a woman feminine. It's the way she carries herself....her whole persona. Some women look great regardless of what they are wearing. Sorry they don't dress the way you percieve a REAL woman should dress. Pants, jeans, shorts...it's all in style now. some look great in then too.
Sure, there are both men and women who dress like slobs. OK, I get that. But who cares? I care only how I dress in public...sometimes. If I am in the middle of a hot dirty nasty job and need something from the hardware store to complete it, I am not going to shower and dress up just to go get what I need.

I think your statement is more than a little biased. I could as easily say men are slobs since they no longer wear three piece suits and hats. I live part time as a woman currently, most of my wardrobe would fall in the not femmine department. I like most gg's here I suspect like to dress up nice but, we have career duties and family responsibilities that are more important than living up to the 1950's thought of what a woman is to wear.

where i work (in a supermarket) in a big shopping centre, men and women come in barefoot, which is disgusting!!! there should be signs up....

[Cathrine]

true i do understand that times have changed i am not talking about every body going back to the 50's or 60's way of dressing or acting, that woulfd be just silly.
as for it is the way people carry themselves i do agree with what you are saying what i am trying to get at and it looks like i am not getting it through is that people don't care anymore all people not just some. withregards to work if you work in a corporate enviroment then there are suits that have skirts, i work in a corporate enviroment and in board meetings if you take a quick glance at the table the only way you can tell who is female and male is by the hair all dressed the same

ok i am now ranting my point is just this people need to look and feel good about themselves and it looks like that is not the case

I think women today dress more for comfort then beauty! I myself never found comfort in a pair of jeans! Tis best to dress and let dress!

I live by the saying....I am low on estrogen and I have a gun.

Please teach me Cathrine, please teach me how to be a REAL woman just like you.
I don't know how I managed all these years without your little lectures and judgements.

p.s. Please download spellcheck.

I must disagree with the whole sentiment here. I think women dress appropriate for the time and place. Why must they wear what you see has sexy just to go shopping, there goal is to restock what ever there out there to get, and not to furnish a beauty pageant for what ever horny men may be at the supermarket. How many men do you see at the mail in a suit, or even slacks. I mean an old pair of jeans and a tee shirt that says "I'M A Stud" with a picture of a 2X4 board is not really very sexy either. I hate that I feel required to dress in a particular way, one that does not always please me, but that is no reason that I should try telling others that I have some kind of right to sit in judgment on what they wear at any particular time. (unless it's a whit tie affair).

in a way i kinda agree with the poster of this thread. but it is not all that much of a blanket statement, but yes in some stores they are now asking "girls" young early 20's down into the teens, to leave and will be welcome back when the take off there sleep ware and put on day clothing. including shoes not house slippers.
and this is even getting into how some boys are dressing now. just a proper thing nothing more.

so in some cases some girls/women just do not even try to dress, in a skirt fancy formal gown or just jeans and a T-shirt. they just get out of bed and go to town in the sleep clothing.
but sure i like a pretty girl in a skirt over jeans. but they are still dressing proper for there age and how they feel. i just wish i as a cross dresser had the same freedom to dress as i feel. (proper taste in dressing is ment here).
i sometimes just sit at the mall and watch life walk about, and there is no shortage of women in skirts, dresses, jeans, etc. i would say a close to even mix of all of the above.

so i do not believe there is a problem or shortage of women dressing like...women.

i just hope this fad of going to the stores in your pj"s ends soon.
