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 do think these pictures are great infographics proving the sexist patriarchy we are living in today

Woman get to show their bodies but men don't. I did it disgusting when I see a young girl wearing a low cut top and butt showing short. It's absolutely vile.

One of my favorite articles, as I have suffered great judgement on my clothing choices because I looked "like a boy". I have learned to become comfortable in my clothes and skin now and I'm happy. I really love this article and stand by it's message of non judgment on women's clothing choices.

How could the height of you heels make you a slut? It's not as if you're exposing more skin..

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

You need to respect and love yourself. Wearing less clothing and showing more skin is doing the opposite, sorry. It's not my place to judge their character, but I will say it's completely depressing to see how much is being "accepted" by the mass nowadays. Let's start a movement about respecting our bodies eh? :)
