In your opinion, does this girl have good or bad fashion sense/style (I know it’s quite hard to see the whole outfit.)

Bad fashion
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Oh ok, thanks for being honest. She’s my girlf and I really like what she wears but people think she has bad taste in clothes.@Monalisaa1986
Monalisaa1986 · 36-40, F
@Strongtea she does
Strongtea · 22-25, M
What’s so bad about it?@Monalisaa1986
Monalisaa1986 · 36-40, F
@Strongtea well it hides what she has her body, she has a good body but hides it
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Ah ok, I see what you mean@Monalisaa1986
Monalisaa1986 · 36-40, F
@Strongtea you don’t have to be a show off it’s just accepting what she has
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I get what you’re saying, she does dress very conservative I suppose. She does look down on other girls if their clothes are too revealing so I’m not sure that she’d show much skin @Monalisaa1986
Monalisaa1986 · 36-40, F
@Strongtea well she shouldn’t judge other women that show some skin
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I suppose you’re right 🫤@Monalisaa1986
Strongtea · 22-25, M
It’s really upsetting to hear that you think she dresses badly, but again thanks for your honesty. I thought it was other people that were wrong. She’s told quite a few people that they were dressed badly and they told her to look at herself. I’m not sure where to go from here.@Monalisaa1986

Commenting negatively on someone's choice of clothing is pretty much guaranteed to get a negative response unless it is very diplomatically worded.

Perhaps you both should just examine the reasons why each of you dress the way you do. Try to identify any pressures from family, friends, employers, colleagues, church, clubs, etc. Then decide which, if any, of those pressures are good for you.
[quote]she does dress very conservative[/quote]
What counts as conservative is culturally determined. Women wearing trousers in the UK and America used to be regarded as scandalous, and not really that long ago. And the influence of those times are still with us; for instance see this from 2021:
[quote]For the first time in its 182-year history, women will be allowed to wear trousers to the Henley Royal Regatta.

The Oxfordshire -based rowing event has updated its dress code for the Stewards’ Enclosure, so women can wear “jackets or blazers with trousers, or trouser suits”, as well as jumpsuits and culottes – but only if hemlines fall below the knee.
..
Incredibly, a 200-year ban on women wearing trousers in France was only overturned in 2013. Of course, it hadn’t been strictly policed, but it was still there. Plenty of schools still enforce a skirts-only uniform for girls, and female flight attendants on Virgin Atlantic couldn’t wear trousers until 2019.[/quote]

Wow! That’s incredible! I know we shouldn’t make negative comments about what other people wear, but she has strong opinions on clothing/fashion. I’ll think about what you have said though@ninalanyon

@Strongtea Don't forget the other plausible scenario: your girlfriend really is dressing exactly how she wants and the rest of us are just over thinking everything. My excuse is that I'm an engineer and I was paid to work out all the gory details, the habit is hard to break!

Do what is right for the two of you, regardless of the opinionated people here (myself included of course!).
