Women wearing pants

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:25:34 +0000

Exceptions

The majority of women in the West today wear pants as opposed to skirts/dresses most of the time. However, there are times when women may prefer to wear a skirt as opposed to a pair of pants, and some women may wear skirts/dresses 100% of the time out of the modern tradition. Some of these reasons include:

Professional appearance

In most professions, it has been accepted for women to wear slacks. With the popularity of the pant suit and other slacks giving the appearance of business attire, in most professions, it is possible for women to wear pants at all times. Many occupations today also allow casual attire or have uniforms that consist of pants. However, there are women who feel that wearing a skirt ensures one is “dressed up” and therefore gives a better impression.

Most women who wear business attire to work will wear pants on some days and skirts on others, with style variance in mind. The activities of the day at work and the outdoor temperature may have an impact on their choice for any particular day.

Formal occasions

Most formal attire for women consist of a dress. Though one-piece dresses have historically been the choice, many two-piece dresses, often modeled like suits, are produced now. In recent years, some formal outfits consisting of slacks have been developed, using the suit design for their basis.

While it is still the norm for wedding gowns to be dresses, clothes worn by other women to weddings and other formal occasions sometimes include pants.

Weather

During warmer weather, many women consider skirts more comfortable than pants, particularly when travelling and in situations where they are required to remain seated for sustained periods. Though shorts are an option for many casual occasions, many women do not feel their needs can be met with a pair of shorts. Shorts may also be inappropriate for some occasions, and a skirt or dress, such as a sundress, may be the best choice. Additionally, some women who feel they look unattractive in shorts may choose a skirt or dress for warmer weather.

Disability

Some women with a disability may find it easier to don or remove a skirt or dress. Since a skirt can be pulled over the head, bending or pulling up is not required. Additionally, those with broken legs do not need to worry about fitting thin pants over a cast, and those of extreme weights may find skirts easier.

Pregnancy

Though maternity pants exist and are very popular, some pregnant women prefer to wear dresses throughout pregnancy that have no waistline.

Religion

In an age where the majority of women at any given time are wearing trousers, there are a number of religions that prohibit women from wearing trousers and require all women and often young girls to wear only skirts or dresses. The reasons behind such beliefs, which vary within each religion and culture, are generally due to modesty laws, which vary in each culture. Religion is the most common reason for a woman never to wear a pair of pants.

Orthodox Jews: Most Orthodox Jewish women are required by religious laws to wear skirts and not trousers. There are two main precepts in Judaism that are the basis for this. One is modesty. In Jewish belief, the space between a woman’s legs is considered to be a private area, and therefore, must be covered by a garment. Additionally, there is the Biblical commandment that women must not wear men’s clothing and visa versa (Deut. 22:5). Since trousers were originally created as a man’s garment, women are therefore forbidden to wear them according to most rabbinical authorities. Though the common requirement is for skirts to be at least knee-length, many Orthodox Jews as a precaution extend the length, wearing only skirts that reach as far down as the ankle. Other Modern Orthodox women will permit even shorter skirts or altogether disregard this practice.

Traditionalist Catholics : On 13 November 866, Pope Nicholas I wrote to King Boris I of Bulgaria: ‘Whether you or your women wear or do not wear trousers neither impedes your salvation nor leads to any increase of your virtue’ (’sive vos, sive feminae vestrae, sive deponatis, sive induatis femoralia, nec saluti officit, nec ad virtutum vestrarum proficit incrementum’ – Patrologia Latina, CXIX, 1002; see here for an English translation of the Pope’s reply to the King’s enquiry whether, on becoming Christians, Bulgarian women should wear a dress instead of their traditional trousers). Some members of the Society of Saint Pius X have spoken of the preference of women’s wearing skirts rather than trousers.
Oneness Pentecostals: Pentecostal women choose to wear skirts because of the Biblical commandment that women must not wear men’s clothing .

Mennonites: The basis for skirts in Mennonites is modesty. For this reason, long skirts or dresses covering most of the legs are requiredThey also wear dresses and skirts because they believe men and women should be distinguished from one another.

Scottish highland dancing

In Scottish highland dancing, women don’t wear trews, but instead either wear the Aboyne dress (for the national dances) or the kilt-based outfit for the Highland dances. However, tartan trews can be worn by women in the United States.

Laws

In Sudan, Article 152 of the Memorandum to the 1991 Penal Code prohibits the wearing of “obscene outfits” in public. This law has been used to arrest and prosecute women wearing pants. Thirteen women including journalist Lubna al-Hussein were arrested Khartoum in July 2009 for wearing pants; ten of the women pled guilty and were flogged with ten lashes and fined 250 Sudanese pounds apiece. Lubna al-Hussein chose to go to trial to challenge the law. Amidst international protests by human-rights activists, she was convicted and fined 500 Sudanese pounds. She considers herself a good Muslim and asserts “Islam does not say whether a woman can wear trousers or not… It is not about religion, it is about men treating women badly.” She wants to change the law on behalf of all the women of Sudan.

Christmas Dresses for Chubby Women – What and How?

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:41:48 +0000

For this Christmas, choosing the proper dresses and accessories for a chubby women is always tricky. And it seems more challenging when you have decided, already, to be fashionably unbeatable this Christmas despite carrying those extra pounds.

However, it is possible and quite easy. Thus instead of getting confused or thinking too much about your Christmas dresses and accessories, you just see what comes in following paragraphs.

I am pretty sure that once you venture out putting on the following combination of fashion apparel, fashion jewelry and fashion footwear, I must say people will crave for having a full body like you.

Paint Yourself Black : Forget red, though it had dominated last year. Chuck out blue or green. They make headache inevitable. Dump the white. You know the reason. Believe me, this Christmas you will see black as the color of Christmas.

Sensational Skirts : Whichever skirt you choose, one thing is sure it has to cover your knees properly. The below knee skirts are always soothing to look at. So choose a black one made of any fabric. Be it made of velvet, jersey or satin or whatever. These will attract thousand eyes. Try one made of denim!

Top Of The World : The most important thing after choosing a skirt is to get a beautiful top. This season is set to welcome any metallic tinge for your tops. A shinning top paired with a black skirt will earn you many admirers. You will find your chubbiness buried deep down the spark of these metallic tops.

Empowering Embroidery : Apart from painting your Christmas dresses in black, getting them embroidered is another rage. Certainly, some beautiful lines of embroidery on the edges of tops and skirts will again prove to be a weapon to hide your chubby figure. After all, who will think of anything else but your glittering pair.

Earrings For Eyes : Interesting or crazy statement, isn’t it? No I am right. Choose some classics earrings for your ears which may dazzle the eyes of others. Hope you got the idea. Choosing a beautiful pair of hoops bigger in size proves to be tricky. They are flattering and make a chubby face look less chubbier.

High On The Hair: As you have decided to flaunt long hoops, the best hairstyle for a chubby woman is a bobcut. Not only that it gives additional exposure to your hoops, it also covers the most of your fleshy face. The other option can be pulling back your hair, if you choose earrings such as studs or drops.

Fantastic Footwear : For your chubby legs you need not to roam around. The two most appropriate footwear are slingbacks and high heels. Try anyone of these two and kick out the chubby looks of your legs. One thing! Choose a footwear which must match your skin tone. A real flatterer you would seem!

Whether it is Christmas or anything else, you will love to buy clothes at Fashion Apparel.

Are Women Purposely Wanting to be a Cheap Sex Toy (Music Videos)?

Sun, 11 Apr 2010 13:42:28 +0000

Ok, I know I am going to go in front of the firing squad, but hear me out. It seems that we hear all these women wanting, rights, and not being called cheap. They want their men to respect them and love them. And then we go to music videos. How are men to respect women, when these women ( who dance and falunt their stuff in front of the camera) don’t respect themselves. It’s like they want to be used. Now, I am not letting the men off the hook, but do these women understand that they are following the blue-print of women sterotypes. I am sorry, but I am sick of women saying, “I want to be taken seriously,” but later dress in a tubetop and a mini skirt. The real sad thing is, most men take advantage of this. What do you think? Do you think these types of women are ruining the repetation for other women?
Insider, I am not saying that what they do on TV is what they do in real life. Heck no! We all need to make money to survive. What I am getting at is the aspect of deceny. I know there is always going to be scenes that are not approapriate for the youth, but there are some down right wrong videos. The best example I have is this. What “Mean Girls,” and watch the part when they go to the one of the girls homes, and see their friend’s 8 year old sister dancing in half made clouths. This is what girls watch. This is what guys watch. If there is nothing wrong with it, then why is wearing nighclouths in public accpetable. The point I am getting is why do women, who know that their clouths sexually attrack men, purposely wear them. What is more important money or respect.

Why do Women do this?

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 10:40:29 +0000

Why do you wear extremely revealing shirts or skirts and get really pissed when someone notice’s you?

Or put on some lounge pants with “sweetcakes” printed on the back and wear a thong but as soon as someone looks over you got the stink face set to kill.

or get a tattoo planted on your lower back but it pushes you into a blind rage if someone says damn!

So annoying….

What type of dresses or skirts do women wear to Kingdom Hall?

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 13:41:15 +0000

My bf is Jehovah Witness, and he invited me on April 6th to go to Kingdom Hall with him and his family. I know that women wear dresses or skirts, but I’m not sure of what type. Can I wear print colors or flower dresses or plain? and what about length? I really dont want to offend anyone there by wearing something inappropriate. Thanks
I think he got the dates mixed up…he invited me to the Memorial, and I believe that is on April, 9th.
