I admit I am a prude when it comes to kids clothing.
I don’t think high school kids ( or younger) should be showing cleavage ( whereever it is at), and tshirts advertising their sexual prowess or availablity make me cringe ( particulary when it comes in elementary school sizes)
*A back-to-school controversy is brewing at Macy’s.</p>
<p>Substance-abuse prevention advocates are outraged at some drinking-themed T-shirts on sale there.</p>
<p>One of the shirts reads “Beer Pong Legend: Sink it and Drink it”; the reference, a popular college drinking-game.*</p>
<p>I have never had to put my foot down very hard I admit. The most I ever did was freak out when my younger daughter in middle school, had bought thong ( she went shopping with a friend- but I did her wash) underwear.
I threw it out and told her why.
I recently noticed that now she had more ( she is 16), but at least she doesn’t wear jeans that you can tell what sort of underwear she has on.</p>
<p>Her tshirts say things like Billabong- or The Clash, and she special ordered one from Neighborhoodies that says her camp name " Didgeridoo".
But I sympathize with parents and kids, who have trouble finding things in stores that - they like- that are appropriate & that they can afford.
Shirts that advertise drinking games- in the teen shop, IMO aren’t appropriate.
However,it seems that every season some company has a shirt that says something so rude, crude or lewd that parents demand it be pulled.</p>
<p>I don’t imagine the buyers are really that clueless.</p>
<p>* disclaimer- I am talking about high school kids and younger- I know college kids are going to wear whatever- whether or not that includes snow boots my own darling oldest child, has a pin ( not a tshirt) that says cunning stunt- she generally is pretty tame*</p>
<p>Ds school doesn’t have a dress code as far as I can tell, although I am sure if students wore tshirts advertising slogans taken from rap lyrics, they would have to at least turn it inside out.</p>
<p>I love hoodies though-and I am glad that mostly the wearing pants big enough for two Jackie Gleasons seems to be fading.</p>
<p>But it seems to being replaced with jeans for girls that are so tight they cant bend their knees. I heard my daughter in her room taking in her boot cut jeans & I wanted to say " what will you do next year, when they aren’t instyle anymore?"
But I already knew what she would say- so I saved my breath.</p>
