This is Why Its Time to Stop Judging Women Based on Their Clothes ...

By Jennifer • May 2, 2015

We do it all the time, sometimes without even meaning to - judging each other based on how we're dressed. We know on a logical level that it's plain silly to think a woman is a prude because she's wearing flats, or a prostitute because she's wearing a low-cut top, but these three images, created by artist Theresa Wlokka (and students at the Miami Ad School in Germany), drive that point home.

1. Your Shirt

Your Shirt Yes, wearing a turtleneck doesn't make you a prude, any more than leaving a few buttons undone makes you a slut. And where does a girl find that halfway-between-bore-and-tease top? Please.

2. Your Skirt

Your Skirt It's just as ridiculous to measure the worth of a woman against the length of her skirt. If she's wearing a short skirt, maybe she's warm? Maybe she likes her legs? Who are we to judge?

Your Skirt It's just as ridiculous to measure the worth of a woman against the length of her skirt. If she's wearing a short skirt, maybe she's warm? Maybe she likes her legs? Who are we to judge? Perhaps, she's *expressing herself*, feeling confident, or embracing her *sense of style*. **Clothing choices** should not dictate a woman's value or merit. Society needs to move past archaic *judgments* and recognize that a woman's autonomy in her fashion doesn't equate to a moral or ethical statement. Everyone deserves respect.

3. Your Heels

Your Heels Every time I see a woman in high heels, I'm sorely tempted to ask her to teach me how to walk in them without wobbling - I'm certainly not judging her character.

I have a serious love/hate feeling toward these images, but I suppose that's the point, right? How do you feel about these photos? Have you ever been judged on what you were wearing?

I wear the clothes that I wear for ME, not for others. If I feel that I look fabulous, I feel fabulous. As Taylor Swift says, the haters gonna hate! So ladies, wear what you want. Wear clothes for YOU and for NOBODY else.

Some people did read the article, me being one of them. Just because we have a different opinion doesn't mean we just skimmed through it and looked at the pictures. The whole excuse that women can wear short skirts cause they're hot is really kind of silly co pared to the fact that meant wear way more clothes in summer and don't use an excuse to shed layers in daily life.

I wear what I like to wear and I know that there's times I need to cover up more than some times and I do. I dress the way I feel comfortable and happy. If nobody likes the way I dress who cares. I'm not changing

M4nd4, covering up does not equal self respect, and not covering up doesn't mean not respecting yourself. This is a movement about respecting ourselves, a movement about wearing what we want without being categorized as a "prude" or a "slut". The point isn't to push people to show off skin nor is it to cover it all up. It's saying wear what you like and don't avoid it because people will automatically assume you're a slut. It's just article about stopping slut shaming and ending the sexualization of the female body.

I used to wear fairly high heels but now had a foot op and have bunions and hammer toes. I used to love wearing knee length skirts but now have varicose veins so now wear pants or maxis. Never worn low necks as no cleavage etc and bony neck. Does all that ,ale me dull and prudish ? Not on your life ! Had a laugh as all of us do tend to judge and condemn at times don't we ?
