I can think of a few reasons…

1. "I don't want to stand out."

2. "People will think I'm weird for being 'dressed up' all the time."

3. "Guys won't talk to me."

4. "I just don't want to worry about it."

5. "It's so hard to find something modest! I can't sew either!"

And if we are discussing long hair as well…

1. "Long hair is a pain to take care of! It takes forever to brush, dry, and style!"

Just a few thoughts there :)

Some girls might. I'm thinking more of the girls think they won't get the same level of attention from a guy if they don't dress in a semi-provocative manner.

For me, I don't really speak with many guys much, just because of my shyness in "real life". My boyfriend actually talks to me MORE when I am modest! :)

Well, I know that for many years I was truly ignorant of the effects my clothing had on guys. I'd wear things like v-necks, tank tops, etc because I felt like I looked good in them. I mean, I wouldn't wear trashy clothing (that is, showing cleavage and otherwise trampy-looking), but I still wore things that weren't necessarily modest. When my boyfriend brought up to me that my clothing was causing him to struggle, I didn't understand. I honestly didn't see what was wrong with my clothes. I thought they were cute and I didn't understand why showing some skin was hard for guys to handle. I think that is because I am not even close to visual in that way- seeing a guy shirtless doesn't cause me to struggle. It just makes me think,"Ew. Dude, put a shirt on! I don't want to see your pudge!"

Anyway, I never was very into following fashion. I wear what's comfortable, which is generally jeans, a polo shirt (buttoned up!) and a hoodie over that. Some days I'll wear skirts, and those will be at least knee-length, usually longer. For me, fashion just isn't a big deal.

I think that for prom dresses and such, girls do worry about how much shows, just think about how often they pull their dress top up if it's strapless! But in everyday life at my school, I don't see many people caring about covering. I'm not sure if it's not noticing, or not caring. I know for some it is not caring, and I think for many others it is not noticing.

It's really not that hard, though, to be fashionable and modest at the same time. Layering is a popular look, and leggings (as ugly as I think they are) help, even if they're not always used properly.

I guess the main thing is, it's all about whether the girl cares about modesty or not. Fashion isn't always modest, but the girl who does care about modesty can make the fashion her own and still be modest.

I think you read a little too much into my post! lol. I didn't intend to say that, but it is true. Being able to read a guy's opinion on things is SO helpful, especially in the area of modesty- what I might think is modest, a guy might not.
