He had no trousers on?

I absolutely agree with this ^
I have no desire to sit next to a guy in trunks on a busy train either. Also he didn’t look like trouserless for me at all, however a young woman clearly attracted my attention with her pose and honesty inappropriate clothes.

And agree about massive tit in the foreground.

Patriarchy. Women feel unconsciously pressured by the male gaze to dress sexy. (This lady looks fab though, this is no shade on her).

On the flip side though, men like women to look sexy, but only in the way they want them to. Skirts are great, but if it's too short you're a slut. A small amount of cleveage is sexy, but too much and you're asking for it. Men don't dress this way because men don't want to see other men in dresses with their legs out.

The reason no one wants to see men walking around in tight hot pants with their bulge on show is because predators would use it as an excuse to flash their penis at every opportunity. You'd have blokes whipping it out the side of their shorts on the bus or something. I'd feel almost threatened if a bloke came into work and you could see everything through a pair of tight shorts. And that's because 99% of the time, it's not women who are engaging in creepy behaviour.

If men weren't creepy gits, from my POV they'd be welcome to wear what they please, as women should also be. At work, just dress appropriate to your work setting.

She looks bored in that picture too @UnemployedNotRetired.

Why, I wonder?

Nowhere I've ever worked in the last 30 years.

That doesn't cover all sectors I'm glad to say.

Edited: as I reread the post.

Exactly.

"I see we are still judging women on their clothing choices."

I think she looks out of place, but I also despair of female singers and performers, on stage in their pants.

Luckily we never see men on stage like this.

I also don't understand why female actors and 'celebrities' feel the need to walk down the red carpet with everythhing on display. You never see Brad Pitt at a premier wearing a see through suite with his pants on display. Whatever happened to class and elegance?

There were quite few women at the event, if the photos are accurate. The others are more formal? And men are mostly suits not mismatched trousers. There's a wider shot of the people here:

I don’t think it’s sensible office attire and women like that don’t do any favours for the ones who fight tooth and nail to be treated as an equal.

She looks like she's going to a nightclub or something. Corporate types don't wear outfits like that

Do you also go topless?

I find bikinis more comfortable than shorts but to each thier own.

I'm all for people wearing whatever they want, with the exception of flesh coloured leggings/trousers.

I was responding to a particular post.

To be fair, both men’s and women’s clothing are being judged in this thread.

It's even more striking when you consider swimwear: why are almost all women's swimsuits and bikinis cut in a knicker shape (yes, not all, but most) when men wear shorts? There's no reason at all. And it's been taken even further by the trend for buttock cheek-revealing swimwear. When you really think about it it's bizarre. Ever since I noticed this I wear shorts on the beach or boy leg/short-type swimsuits- why should I go around in knickers when men are all comfortable in their shorts?

@flyingfar I see we are still judging women on their clothing choices.

Well women do have many choices in any setting, and the way we present ourselves is a good clue as to how we want to be seen.

Apparently it is empowering & indeed powerful for women & girls to wear as few clothes as possible, and the sexier those clothes are the better.
But this rule only applies to women and girls.
Not men - men need to be fully clothed to be powerful.

So women show skin - sexily of course - and men cover up.

Or something.

I really don't get the whole beige clothing thing and this thread simply reinforces that I shall never ever buy or wear beige clothing.

Maybe the woman wants a job working for Nige? With her looks and showing a bit of leg he will probably be putty in her hands 😁

Jeez I must be getting seriously old.

The man in the beige trousers looks about 12 years old to me and that stood out more than his legs! 🙈

He looks like the lower half of a plasticine doll out of Wallace and Grommet, given the meeting, has a plasticine head too.

I see we are still judging women on their clothing choices.

She looks fine to me.

Flesh coloured trousers look terrible on men and women.
For me, the difference in the photo is that the woman is properly dressed for a smart event in a short skirt and jacket. The man looks at first sight as if he's wearing a jacket with no trousers, which is truly weird.
It's also true that in our country, men don't normally expose their legs in formal situations, unless they are wearing kilts, but women may do.
