Seems like we are going back to the days of Adam and Eve when clothes were not needed as the new fashion trend in the world now is nudity.
People are going naked in the name of fashion. You see models on the runway half naked, our celebrities are exposing parts which are supposed to be hidden without any shame at events, girls are walking the streets looking like they are for sale. The music videos are not left out. You see the men dressed while the ladies are practically naked.
The way nudity has crept into our everyday life is very alarming that we begin to wonder if moral still has a place in our daily lives again. It is quite appalling how it is being celebrated these days. A woman is practically naked and she is called fashionable.
They say first impressions are everything so if someone sees you for the first time, dressed half naked, what impression would they have about you?
Most individuals couldn’t care less about what they wear and what other people think about them. Some people just want to make a fashion statement; others want to be noticed while some others just want people to talk about them.
What do you think people assume about you just by looking at what you wear? Do you think that assumption is true or false? Does the way you dress really portray who you are or define you?
Some Naij.com readers have said a person is defined by what they wear. Some have however said, you cannot judge a person just by the clothes they are wearing.
According to Oluwatobi Ariyo Jekayinfa People should not be judged by what they wear, saying “Not at all, most of them are innocent; they just want to feel or belong in the society that is why they put on those wears. Most of them are wife material.”
CEO Of Arthur De Great group of companies, Arthur Olawale Badejo said: “Your way of dressing is a “choice”, it says nothing about who you are. Our problem in Africa here is about our “crude and uncivilized cultural beliefs”…..! If a lady dresses almost nude, perhaps she is of the belief that when men notice her posture, they may woo her; whereas, others just want to follow the dressing codes of the ‘whites’ in order to look current. Some boys’ way of dressing also shows they want to emulate the dressing codes of the foreign countrymen. Our problem back home here is that we question people’s personalities a lot. This is absurd. Choose where you belong and appreciate others too. Remember, one man’s meat is another’s poison. Don’t be judgemental.”
Chukwuma N. Divine is of the opinion that if you expose your body, its indecency and it can only attract one thing. He added that your dressing goes a long way to define you.
Don Collins feels Africans, especially Nigerians don’t know how to mind their business. “The truth is that we Africans make life very difficult for us. People should learn how to mind their businesses and stop judging others for the way they look or what they wear,” he said.
“Not really because some ladies dress decently but do worst things than some that dress shabbily oooo. I have seen it happen oo. Though I am not encouraging indecent dress I hate it,” Ekedebe Ifeoma B said.
Abdulrahman Isah said: “Dress is a personality of index. Dress the way you wish to be addressed.”
A married and a self-employed woman, Bola Ogunbekun Adeyemi said your dressing shows who you really are. She buttressed her point with a Yoruba proverb which says, “irinisi Ni sonilojo”, (meaning you are addressed with your mode of dressing). She added that the word of God says we should dress to cover our nakedness and if you are a true Christian this should be your goal.
Unwanabasi Ben said: “Yes! The way you dress speaks more of you than your word.”
“Yes o! Everything we say, do,wear etc, is a reflection of what’s on our inside. A nun is known by what she wears. A morally loose person (and vice versa) will also be known by how they dress. People don’t speak, act or dress in a way that’s contrary to their nature,” Eniola Felicita Ephraim said.
Another Naij.com reader, Rumen McSilva pointed out that some people that even cover their head to toe can even be worse than those who are dressed indecently, saying, “it’s your life style that counts and not your dressing.”
Though being half naked does not tell well about someone, judging people just by the way they dress is not really cool. Some of those half naked women are saints compared to the decently dressed ones.
A person’s dressing does not really reveal who the person truly is. Clothes are just one part of a person. What defines a person is what they do, their character and not what they wear.
The thing is, no matter what a person is wearing, it does not give you the right to treat him or her in a derogatory manner. Even if a girl is dressed half naked, nothing in the world gives you the right to pass a vulgar comment or even eye-rape her. They are also humans. You do not judge people if you have not walked in their shoes. People in micro miniskirts, bum shorts, or whatever can also be good people with ideals, good hearts and good families.
Then again, ladies, your private parts should be kept private. Going about almost naked doesn’t make you beautiful. Though you are not what you wear, try and be decent about it. Just because everybody does it, doesn’t make it right.
