Girls dress like boys and young men look like women
“Today, girls dress like boys and young men look like
women”. Give your opinion.
When girls dress like boys and young men look like women there is something deeply
wrong. Going deeper into the root of this, it maybe worthwhile to note why men and
women dress as they do. From simple nakedness into which man is born he began to
dress himself. At first he had to dress against the rigors of weather especially cold. As
long as clothing served it basic purpose he never cared whether it was soft or rough of the
material from which it was made. As knowledge of weaving, dyeing and much later, the
knowledge of tailoring developed; man began dressing and woman draping herself in
fashionable clothing. This change was more rapid in Western countries than in the East.
In Europe, they held on to a dress of a particular fashion because they were conservative.
But the change in dressing has been at a fast pace in America. The War (Great World War
2) accelerated this trend. For the sake of convenience and economy, certain types of
dresses became a regulation dress and the civilian also took it because it was found to be
comfortable and convenient. The “slack” may be cited as an example, the cinemas set up
new trends in fashion and youngsters began clamoring for such dresses. Thus the tight
pants and beach dress in the case of girls became a fashion.
The way youngsters dress was a revolt against the established order and norm. Today
because of its permissive society, the dress has become too short and is now only a micro
mini. They do it in bravado spirit of “what can you do?”
Young hippies dress like women, grow hair and sometimes appear like mendicants. They
lead a life of their own. They want to live like “Adam and Eva” indulging in free love.
Nowadays it is common to see men wearing chains, bracelets and ear rings like women.
The opposite way of dressing is taking place.
In the case of some girls, they want to get noticed and seek attention so they wear clothes
that are worn by men like tight jeans that are torn at knee caps to make a statement of
their dressing.
By dressing this way, both sexes are trying to defy each other and veering away from
established fashion trends.
