seX and fashion

during the process of evolution such concepts as ethnicity, gender, cultures, subcultures, and sensuality have impacted on the fashion of females around the world. The influence of fashion has presented and enabled women to self-express themselves. also, the influence of fashion has made it possible for women to express their values and morals through the type of clothing they wear. basically, fashion is a tool used to create statement! but have women taken the tool of fashion too far in terms of self-expression?

sailor stripes

Sailor stripes have never been so hot, and now you can get sailor striped pants, shoes, shirts, jackets, skirts, anYThing to channel your inner sailor mood.

have you’ve noticed over the past decades how more and more women are wearing less and less? a provocative generation has been brewing over the past decades and eventually sexually provocative clothing has become the norm for women: 1. Women want to accent their “goodies”: and capitalize on the amount of potential they have towards men 2. hey Ladies, we know not only men are checking us out: Women feel competition from other women. and since, women are extremely competitive for the man they have their eye on this may result into the “cat fight.” 3. Women want “approval: it’s always good to leave a room of guys with compliments and positive remarks floating in the air in your direction. The second wave of the feminist movement took place between the years of 1960-1980 whose goals were focused on legal and cultural inequality. The third wave of the feminist movement started in the 1990’s and remains current. but this sexual revolution is leading to more provocative women. because of this new outlook on gender and gender roles in our society women have been expressing to the public the statement that “We are women.” in such ways as exposing their bodies and demonstrating a more distinct feminine identity, wearing more revealing clothes, and exposing their pregnant bellies, women have announced to the world that they are here. So ladies, less can definitely turn out to be more!
