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

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

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?

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
/filters:quality(70)/content/nd/uh/u5qd7e0i5526fa675ccff874267845_600x849.jpg)
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?
Comments
Clarabella: This is ridiculous! Pathetic article. Grow up for heavens sake.
Femi: Insightful!
Hope4u2: Seriously?
Ayra: I just wear what I want ...
Beryl: 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 ?
pizzaislife: IS NOBODY ACTUALLY READING THE ARTICLE! SHES AGAINST JUDGING WOMEN BASED ON WHAT THEY WEAR.
Claire: I find it*
Ashleypaige311: 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.
Rhiannon: Seems like a lot of people in the comments didn't actually read the article. This is by far my favorite article on this website.
Midnight: THIS ARTICLE IS AGAINST THE JUDGEMENT OF WOMEN BASED ON CLOTHING - please use your education that women are STILL fighting for and READ the article before commenting! (And stop calling my mom a slut!)
