Fashion is a vast and diverse concept that appeals to people from various walks of life. It is admired by both ordinary housewives and high-profile models, each interpreting it in their own unique way. The definition of fashion varies greatly between a college boy and a fashion designer, illustrating its subjective nature. Creativity plays a pivotal role in the world of fashion, and there are virtually no limits to how creative one can be in this field. In the realm of fashion, creativity and innovation know no bounds, and individuals can express themselves in countless ways. Fashion is a domain where the constraints of obscenity and vulgarity often seem to fade away, leaving room for bold and daring statements.

Exposing clothing is a contentious topic within the world of fashion, as what is considered fashionable and stylish in one culture may be deemed indecent in another. The definition of exposing clothes is far from universal, but generally, they are garments that reveal a significant amount of skin. However, the threshold for what constitutes "too much" skin exposure varies widely among individuals and cultures. Fashion enthusiasts often view exposing clothing as an integral part of self-expression, while religious fundamentalists vehemently oppose it.

Controversy frequently surrounds women who wear exposing clothing. Models and actresses who appear on television in revealing attire often face criticism and scrutiny. For example, Vida Samadzai, Miss Afghanistan 2003, made headlines in her native country due to her red bikini during the Miss Earth pageant in 2003. Even revealing Halloween costumes have faced widespread criticism in the United States.

Women are often the focus of such controversies, particularly when they wear clothing with deep necklines or hemlines above the knees, which are considered revealing and prohibited in certain settings. In some cultures, any clothing that deviates from traditional attire is regarded as indecent and vulgar. However, in many other countries, items like shorts and jeans are accepted as everyday casual wear.

Men also wear exposing clothing in modern times, although it tends to attract less controversy. For instance, low-rise jeans for men often expose their underwear, adding a touch of humor to their overall appearance. Celebrities, too, find it trendy to pose topless or in their underwear in front of the camera. Nevertheless, women's clothing typically garners more attention and scrutiny compared to men's attire.

Exposing clothes catches attention and distracts people from work. This is the reason exposing clothes are not allowed in work places. Offices prefer people wearing formals that never expose. It is considered to be a kind of indiscipline in corporate offices. Majority of the corporate offices have a dress code, but some allow casual clothes (that may or may not expose) once in a week.


They are also not allowed in majority of the religious places. This is because it distracts the attention of people coming to pray. It is considered to be an act of indiscipline in such places. These places do not encourage such clothes or fashion in entire. Freedom of fashion is a concept that is not acceptable everywhere. There are many more places and premises where this concept is not acceptable.


But such clothes become a high priority in certain occasions. People like to wear such clothes in parties and functions. This is because it helps them catch attention in the midst of many well dressed people. Late night parties have dress codes several times, that may especially ask people to wear exposing clothes. This is because it helps in creating a free and enjoyable environment.


Celebrities and fashion models wear the most exposing clothes. It is very easy to spot Hollywood actresses in a bikini or miniskirt. Freedom of fashion is the most admired by them as they need to portray various roles at various times. Various celebrities have got into controversies at various point of time owing to such clothes. Lady Gaga exposing her chest in a Halloween costume recently attracted many critical eyes.

Exposing clothes are a part of the freedom of fashion; it simply cannot be denied! But this freedom cannot be practiced everywhere. There are limitations to freedom of fashion. Every premise or organization needs to have a dress code. The dress code need not be restricted to formals or "the supposedly decent clothes". The dress code should be decided on the basis of people present in the get together and their likes and dislikes.


There can be adverse effects to exercising this freedom if it is not exercised with care. This is true for both men and women. Modern world is full of complications. One ought to act smartly in order to avoid trouble. One should dress as per the needs of the occasion. If the occasion demands fully covered clothes, one should be dressed in fully covered clothes. Or else, one can show off a bit of skin in order to create an impression.


The debates can go on for long as far as the use of exposing clothes is concerned. Whether it should be seen as a freedom of choice and fashion or indiscipline in the society is an individual opinion. Different people have differing views in this regards. Some are in favor of it, while others classify it under obscenity. Then there are a few who are indifferent to it. But it is a part of the society.
