Nude is out. Demure is in.
Yup. The days of women walking down the street leaving very little to the imagination are now nearing their end. So says Greg Scott, CEO of Bebe, a chain with 195 stores. “People are tired of seeing so much skin. That whole midriff-baring thing is completely over.”
One thing that always stays the same in fashion is change. So bid farewell to the skimpy, belly-baring outfits of Britney and Christina and say hello to skirts that hit the knee [and] shirts that are almost long enough to tuck in…
Seventeen Magazine has dubbed the new trend Miss Modesty, stating that the 50’s sexy librarian look is in this fall.
Sexy librarian?? Dude… don’t you mean the Jewish Yeshivah girl look? Here (see pic) it is demonstrated by the lovely Bati (Frumster ID # 562). What can I say … this new trend will certainly make for less eye candy on the street, but when national retailers like Target and Abercrombie & Fitch start marketing thongs to pre-teens, well… things have clearly gotten out of hand. So uh… let’s hear it for Tsnius. Yay.
UPDATE: Another article about the demise of unfortunately titled “Slutwear.” Geez.
The trend ck spotted long ago is here with a vengeance. What Yeshiva girl wouldn’t love wearing these new designs, hot […]
So dressing modestly is now going to be considered sexy? Won’t that be a problem for the Yeshiva girls? I mean if long skirts and elbow covering shirts are sexy, won’t they have to compensate by wearing like, burkhas?
The New York Times says that the thong is out!

This makes me SO happy! I can finally shop again. 🙂
If only fashion were more like science. The latter rarely regresses to earlier, stupider times…
ck is too good for this world. I love ck. I love what you have created here. I love the kindness that I can sense has motivated this whole project. Never mind the naysayers and those blind to who you are. We will be looking out for you.
