Clothes and what we wear identifies cultures, values, peer groups and fashion styles, but are the clothing styles of today's young adults leading to a censorship on how we wear our clothing?
My style of dress is pretty much casual, conservative, laid-back and comfortable. The message I convey to friends and peers is that he dresses neat and clean. I am not into name brands such as: Izod, Polo, South Pole or CK. I prefer clothes of good quality and long lasting. My routine daily dress consist of jeans or shorts, and a button-down shirts, dependents on Houston's weather and the occasion.
As I mentioned, I usually dress conservative and I do understand that clothes are a way of expressing one's identity or social group. Many people also purchase cloths to demonstrate their creative ability, their sense of style or just for comfort, but there is one style many young males are wearing today that I personally dislike. This style, is the baggie pants that are wore below the butt and I believe, should not to be wore every where.
For example, the other day when I visited the student center to pick-up books, I notice several young men in this type of dress. I felt that this dress was not appropriate for this setting. This is an institution of higher learning. A bridge to the professional environment where dress is important as education. I also felt this type of dress was disrespectful to the young ladies on our campus.
So i asked myself, would I support a censorship on the way we wear our clothes? Should we set up dress codes to dictate what should be worn? No, but an alternate solution would be to create an etiquette class on dress.
I believe that an etiquette class would be a better solution because it would not take away one's self expression but teaches the approtiate time and setting for such dress.
