This is Why It's Time to Stop Judging Women Based on Their Clothes ...

Your Shirt • Your Skirt • Your Heels • More ...

By Jennifer • May 2, 2015 • MD

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?

Frankly, I wear what I feel like and don't care what other people think - I wear things for me, not for others pleasure :P

Sadly reading some of the comments on here tells me some of you have issues. Who am I? Life coaching. We are all entitled to our opinions. However please think before you post comments.

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? :)

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.

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.

Did any of you actually read the article? Or did you just look at the pictures and form your opinion based on them? She's saying wear what you want. I'm sure all of you know how to read.

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

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.
