I Guess I'm Easy

I came across this article today by the UK Daily Mail which claims that more than half of UK men think tight-fitting dresses made women look easy. Other fashion items that make the easy list are stilettos, pencil skirts(!!), knee-high boots, mini skirts, hipster jeans, underwear-as-outerwear, crop tops, corset tops and lace (watch out nannas, you may be sending the wrong message).

I don't know about you but I probably wear one of these items each day and I consider myself a pretty conservative dresser. Although I never embraced Underwear-as-outerwear or corset tops, a pencil skirt or skinny jeans make up my usual work uniform.... I mean the bottom half of it.

The article quotes a survey of 1,348 men and also came up with this "One in three admitted that they didn't like their partner to wear tight clothing on a night out and a quarter would forbid their wife or girlfriend from wearing something they disapproved of on a night out."

That sounds rediculous. Especially coming from the home of some of the trashiest dressers in the world, Amy Winehouse and Jordan AKA Katie Price. This is what Katie Price wore to her recent book launch (but at least this time she didn't get her husband to dress as a transvestite).

Are people in the UK really that much more conservative than Australians?

Here is the full list of trends that make women look easy:

- Body-con dresses (57 per cent)
- Crop tops (53 per cent)
- Corset tops (51 per cent)
- Lace (45 per cent)
- Underwear-as-outerwear (43 per cent)
- Pencil skirts (38 per cent)
- Knee-high boots (32 per cent)
- Stiletto heels (29 per cent)
- Mini skirts (22 per cent)
- Hipster jeans (19 per cent)
