A person's choice of clothing is entirely their own provided it doesn't offend everyday decency and conforms with normal standards of health and safety.

and if it does offend everyday decency(?) a persons choice is NOT entirely their own way of free choice

I voted Yes and No

Glad to see you are exercising your discriminatory faculties, sir.

The Poll choices should really be:
-Yes
-Yes if it isn't indecent
-No-Unless it includes religious attire
-No
Even then there are different ideas of "indecent", so you might want to define it in your own words so others can vote based on that.

This. Therefore, I vote "yes and no".

I believe this demonstrates that you are. It is though always possible to be mistaken.

Yeah, sure, but a lot of clothes are hideous and I reserve the right to say they're aesthetically displeasing.

For instance:

Socks and sandals :p
Jean shorts.
White socks, longer than ankle socks, worn with any shorts.
Blazers with denim jeans.

And assorted other disgusting habits.

This, I humbly venture to suggest, makes you a fashion fascista. I do not consider this a major crime unless you seek to alter another's behaviour because of it.

This is an entirely accurate summary of some of the worst fashion crimes known :goodjob:

I do understand and sympathise, sir. My eyes too afflict me daily.

No. I don't want to look at people dressed up as hobos.

Wear something decent for frig's sake.

I just have my sister-in-law buy me clothes for Christmas. She has better taste in clothes than I do. I hate shopping for clothes. I can't think of a worse activity to do.

Really? I sometimes like to shop for clothes. It allows me to define myself in the eyes of others.

@13 I understand. Though some people do not dress as hobos through choice. I agree a lot of especially young people will dress up so as to make you feel that way. Did you do the same, in some respects and not necessarily associated with dress, to get a reaction from your elders? Is it possible that young people do this as a necessary part of asserting their own identity? So, I would urge you to continue, if you feel it appropriate, to express some degree of disdain towards the young. But, my judgement is necessarily inadequate. And in any case this post may not be addressing (!) the issues which are concerning you. Can you elucidate a little on them?

I like to dress in all black sometimes. I'm dangerous. :evil:

Are you proposing someone else tell others how to dress?

What is this video about? Unhappily I do not have the necessary plugin. Apparently this machine and OS is too old to accept the required software.

Ah. I remember it well. I liked the man very much. And he was, I think, close to his best near the end of his life.

Back around 1990 I was working on a construction site in Kent.

We were still allowed to wear shorts on site in the company I worked for then. So I wore shorts half the year. Us engineers were issued with florescent coats and I always get a coat two sizes too big. The coat came down to just above my knees. A big coat keeps the rain off your legs without having to wear leggings and in the winter when it is colder than normal you can put on an extra big jumper. I had site boots that came up to 4 inches below my knees.

So when it was warmer I would ware my shorts but if it was raining I would ware my shorts and coat. So all that could be seen is the coat, my knees and boots. Cool or what.:cool:

Once me and the other engineer, before he went to Vauxhall Cross to build the basement for the MI6 building, were in a bar trying to chat up two girls. One of them of them described my cool attire but we did not say it was me. Did not want to be too shocked that they had had a drink with a style icon.:cool:

Attractive women should be forced to wear as little clothing as possible.

Do you? No, not really for most people. Dress codes at school or work or general pressure to conform from society rob you of that. Should you? I'm tempted to say yes, but the website peopleofwalmart.com makes me wonder if no would be better for society.
