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.”

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?
