stay classy.

I hate to have to ask, but where did all the class go? No I’m not talking about students who are missing from school. I’m talking about looking classy, dressing classy, having elegance and taste. The summer heat, especially the Australian summer heat, causes females to dress in some truly tasteless clothing (or lack thereof) without a care that having that much skin on show is actually a turn off. When I go out at night it amazes me that some people have put so much effort and money into wearing nothing. Although, come to think of it, this isn’t just restricted to summer; it seems girls are willing to put up with cold temperatures and strong winds to show off their lack of class all year round. Now I’m not a boy, so I can’t exactly say that my next opinion will be the same as the males of the world. But when I look at girls and point out which ones are most attractive, it’s always the ones leaving something to the imagination. A nice, fitted, mid thigh dress. I don’t want to see plunging necklines and your ass hanging out. And if boys do, then it’s pretty obvious they’re not looking at you because they think you’re a genuine, nice girl. They’re looking at you because you look easy and they’re hoping they won’t have to work too hard to get in your pants. Which are probably already on display for them because your dress stops at your waistline. Good boys want girls who don’t give it all away up front. And boyfriends definitely DO NOT want you showing off things that are for ‘their eyes only’ to every other male in the room. In my opinion, if you’re going to go low cut, it should be your back. Nothing sexier than an open back. It teases you. “You wish this dress was the other way around so you could see my cleavage, but I’m too classy for that!” Now, I’m what you’d call ‘heavy on top’ and I’m aware of it. So I don’t try to accentuate it! I already get frustrated with boys leering at me when I’m covered up, I don’t want to give them anymore reason to look by having things on display. One of the best compliments I’ve ever received was from a boyfriend when I was wearing a tight singlet dress in a floral pattern. It was mid thigh, it didn’t show any cleavage, but had a slightly low scoop neck back (low enough to have to loosen bra straps so you can pull the back bit down, but not too low so you could actually still wear a bra with it). He said to me; “it’s your perfect dress – it doesn’t reveal anything but you still look sexy”. The perfect look.  

The worst part about this lack of class and the emergence of dressing in barely anything, is that fashion is supporting it. The new high shorts look is a prime candidate. Just because the shorts come up higher on your waist does not mean it is acceptable for them to come up higher on your butt. The amount of girls I see with butt cheeks literally hanging out in high short is astounding. You know what else is really classy? See through tops. Now sure, they’re most likely designed so you’ll wear another top underneath it, but who wants to do that when you can just wear a bra (preferably of a contrast colour) and walk around with something that isn’t really a top at all! And of course, we move to the scene of the crime, Supre. It looks like someone went into that store, took all their singlet dresses and hacked at them with a pair of scissors. You may as well just be wearing a bandeau and a belt. And the best part about this? Girls buy them when they don’t have the figure to pull them off! I’d like to think I’m of average weight, but I know not even I can pull those dresses off. There’d be bits of skin poking through the cut outs, and I mean literally poking through them, bulging out because I don’t have a toned as all hell stomach. Why would you want to accentuate the fat parts of your body by putting them on display like that?

I think that’s the worst part about girls wearing the smallest amount of clothing out. They aren’t fit enough to wear them and are only drawing more attention to their gut/muffin top/jiggly butt. Gaining a guy’s attention because you’re dressing for sex is not a good thing, ladies.  For god’s sake – put some clothes on! You might just find that you look a whole lot hotter to the opposite sex when you do.
