Sometimea it be likeOther times it be like
Do you dress modestly? Why or why not? And what does that even mean in 2020?
I think it's wrong to impose dressing any specific way on others,
(Although I understand it most in a work context)
And I don't think it's fair to judge another person's intentions with their clothing, because perhaps they don't mean to be "too revealing."
On one hand, I don't like to attract attention and like modest styles. I have my own perception of what that means, though- but deep down I'm a nudist and I think it's perfectly fine to be nude- I think people should calm down about nudity, bodies are perfectly natural and not inherently sexual.
But here I am in a society which sexualizes female bodies constantly, so I'm not trying to draw that kind of attention. It's sort of something imposed on women, and we're judged no matter what. (About time to ignore misogynists, amirite?)
But if it's super hot out and I'm hiking, I'll wear a sports bra, I don't care at that point. That's part of why I love hiking. At some point, you're so focused on your sport, nothing but making it through matters.

I'm wearing clothes for the weather Modesty is a man made thing. Just like virginity We dont change just because a man comes into our lifes.And my body and life isn't more or less important because I wear something.

Modesty is 100% a man-made thing 🙌🏽

i agree with part of what you’ve said about wearing clothing based on the weather and that you shouldn’t change what you wear based on your partner. however, to some modesty isn’t a man made thing, it’s just a style choice. i dress modestly because it’s something that i’m more comfortable with, i don’t have to worry about having any wardrobe malfunctions or accidentally flashing someone. but it’s each to their own, your opinion is valid. i just wanted to share this. :)

Well said
I don’t care how others dress as long as genitals are covered. Clothes are not a sign of how much someone respects themselves, they are not an invitation, they are just an expression of someone’s personal taste and sometimes a statement. Personally I wear jeans, T-shirt and sneakers/biker boots (depending on the temperature). If you see me there’s a 90% chance I am in some variation of that.
I have always dressed pretty modestly. It's how I was raised and I still want to, just not to the same extent. I wear shorts that have at least a few inches inseam and I don't show much cleavage. I do wear form fitting things sometimes just as long as things aren't actually showing. Just how I am and I'm fine with it 🤷🏼♀️ I wouldn't tell someone else how to dress, this is just for me.

I’m the same way!
I dress pretty modestly, because that’s how I’m personally comfortable. If I wear a low cut shirt or a short skirt/shorts I’m uncomfortable and constantly feel the need to adjust my clothing. I don’t care how other people dress though and don’t see it as a reflection of respect for themselves. If you’re happy rocking booty shorts go for it!
