Do you think kids clothes are too revealing these days?

The things kids wear these days! I just don't get it. Especially young girls wearing those shirts with crazy comments written across the chest. What about boys wearing pants that droop down and their underwear is showing! What I don't get is why they even wear belts. Maybe it's because I am older, but I'm not that old. My husband is a professor and he comes home saying the same thing about the students in his class. I guess our parents said the same things to us when we were younger, but it seems to be getting a bit more vulger. I was in a toy store the other day and a young boy (maybe 16) came in wearing a shirt with a big girl on it and it said "I'll **** her!" I just couldn't believe it. I do not have kids old enough to be concerned about such things yet. Anyone out there have kids that they battle with on how they dress? Or are you fine with how kids dress these days?

Actually, I think you are older than you may think you are. Who cares if someone's underwear is showing? Or if a t-shirt has so-called vulgar language on it? Are you judging the total person by the way he/she dresses? I AM old and have learned not to judge people by what they are wearing. I may not like it or agree but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes I think the pants/underwear look is actually funny.

I am not judging them at all. I just think sometimes it's too revealing and vulgar. You are telling me if you had a kid whose pants are drooping to the ground, you wouldn't even give a snide comment? Are you sure you aren't passive aggressive? I do not judge anyone by what they are wearing. If anything, their parents should say something to them. If I had a little girl, I would definitely ban certain clothing. Oh, and by the way, I am proud to be how old I am and I agree that you are OLD!!!!

Being in an french american school the type of kids I see most of the time are different then what you described. Here it is still common to see guys with pants that basically fall off but they never show too much and it is usually not too noticeable. I personally am wearing a pollo and jeans right now, the waistband of my underwear is sticking out but it is unnoticeable most of the time as my shirt covers it. My pants do not hang really low anyways so I do not consider the underwear showing as vulgar.
Some people do take it too far thoe, that shirt is just going to far but most kids wear quite civilized clothes. If you look at the fashion for boys nowadays it is getting much more clean and formal. I personally like wearing pollo's and (aah the name is only coming in french, the clothes that are like pollo's exept the buttons go all the way down). My pants do not drop at all and are not very baggy (more on the tight side).

I think what you are describing how you dress sounds very tasteful. It's when the pants droop down past the hips and if they weren't wearing underwear, you could see their whole butt! I can't picture what shirt you are trying to say either, but what comes to mind is button down shirt?

HI there, i do not actually have kids old enough to wear stuff like that. BUT i do always think in advanced what i would do in a sitation with my daughter if this were to be a conflict. spagettie straps are okay to a point. shirts that are showing alot of cleavage no!. skirts. have to be a certin length.shorts same way. I would never ever never never let my son(if i had one) wear a shirt like that (ill f*** her) at all while living under my roof.pants must be on the butt. anything bought clothing wise without me or my husband around and doesnt fit our regulations. will be burned hehe.
well now that i have it all planned out. i hope we can make it happen. i still have atleast another 10 years to go ahaha!:)

I have seen many of them, sometimes it seems so digusting that I turn my face in the opposite direction, so I dont have to look at them;I have a teenage grandson, he is not as bad as he was before. He doesn't wear them as bad, because I continue to tell him how disgraceul it looks.
I let him know that belts were made to keep your pants up on your waist.
I cant stand to see them with their pants around the knees.
Some of them tells you it's a NEW AGE, and that you are old fashion/ or you are from the old school. I think you just have to keep on talking, hoping that one day they would listen.

Well I believe some teenagers might dress inapropriately sometimes with their chest showing and their butts sometimes But Its not so much the clothes its society they have to do so to fit in with others
