Is it right to criticize people on their appearance??

If a friend asks your opinion on what they are wearing I think it is ok to tell the truth (in a nice way!) if it doesn't suit them. However, I think it is rude to critcize someone's appearance when they haven't asked your opinion.

Criticizing on appearence is a no!, no!. It does not mean that you cannot give some some appearence tips indirectly. I once sent an article on ties to a friend who used to wear his tie very short. To mask the obvious, i sent it to a few more people as well.It did have the desired effect. On another instance, i gifted a mouth freshner to friend & said that i bought two since i got a deal. He did not feel bad since i was using one too. According to me, commenting on physical features is gross, because the person has no control over it. I sincerely feel that every one has some good looking features, you need to focus on them rather than find faults.

Only if the person asks for your opinion. I really don't need to here some stranger tell me my shirt looks ridiculous or something. Some people just need to keep their damn opinions to themselves. It's all just plain rudeness and lack of class to do so.

It's rude to comment on someone's dress or appearance unless that person asks for your opinion. Even though we do have freedom of speech and expression we also have a responsibility to treat others with kindness so, unless you're going to comment in a positive way about how someone looks, you should keep your opinions to yourself unless asked.

no its not okay, people cant help the way they look. I was bullied all through school by people that told me I was ugly and it still stays with me today. It destroys peoples comfidence which can destroy their lives. People have the right to think what they want, they dont have the right to hurt anyone they feel isnt "right"

Hello GAGAN187! I admit, I do it sometimes. I mean, I criticize sometimes. But I know it's wrong but I can't help it. I know everybody are entitled to express themselves through the way they dress or the way they want themselves to appear but still dressing inappropriate to the public is not okay for the social norm. For ex. a lady who dress a very sexy dress to the fact that everyone will look at her. Some people may think he is a flirt or something. So maybe we have to appear sometimes the way what other people expect you to be.

I am not a person who follows the fashion and besides keeping up with the latest fashion and having all the designer labels is very costly, I wear what I want to wear what is comfortable and what is in my price range, no one has the right to criticize me if I don't wear certain labels or certain fashions, they are insecure if they feel the need to bully or criticize others. It's up to the individual as to what they want to wear and they should fear what others may think of them. We all have the right to our own freedom of expression and we shouldn't worry what others think, it's not their place to dictate what must be worn or not!
