Apparently, there’s a change afoot in fashion trends.
According to this ABC News article, teen girls are moving to become less trashy while retaining their fashion sense. The movement is even being catered to by clothing labels specializing in fashionable clothing that covers more.
Its been a long time coming. I’ve been in a state of perpetual concern for the past few years as to the state of revelation of the clothing choices of our culture, particularaly distraught over the fact that it targets 16-year-olds, and fearfully anticipating future psychological studies that will reveal the damaged psyche and self-esteem that these trends have produced.
Perhaps it is age that makes one less conscious of cutting edge fashion. If so, then my appreciation for the visual asthetic places me caught in between, because I appreciate good fashion. My faith, however, wars with my eyes when I walk through the mall and see girls passing by in a far more thorough way than I really ever should.
I’m in hopes that this trend proves enduring.
On a side note (and I mean this with no intention of a sarcastic stab, but out of sincere curiosity), I wonder how Paris Hilton feels about being named in this article (as a negative example) now that she’s “found God?”
