To have not let my DD go to school in a Primark seamless set

[Dramachameleon]

Just that really. It’s non uniform day in school and she wanted to wear a crop top and those godawful see through leggings.

Shes worn mini skirts , ripped jeans etc into no uniform days before so i am not madly strict on clothes . The school is not overly strict but are quite hot on wearing the correct uniform, but these sets are just dreadful, and around our way worn by a certain group of teens which I don’t really want my DD hanging out with.

She went nuts , DH went nuts

Were we unreasonable

Shell suits came a bit later than the cycle shorts in my memory? But yes must have been a fire hazard!

The blue one in your picture looks a bit like PJs!

Id just let them pleased themselves tbh

A pp further up mentioned wearing a CND symbol- I remember everyone wearing those a few years later (early 90s).

@Beamur I remember those skirts!!! I was too small and skinny and could not get one to fit!

My same aged dd wouldn’t be seen dead in coloured leggings. But she’d wear the top and has the short-sleeved version of the top in a different colour. It isn’t see through, just ultra tight and a bit low cut therefore I wouldn’t be ok for dd to wear the top to school.

The leggings (they’re actually named tights as they’re very fitted) are fine as long as her bum is partially covered to about the hip with a jacket or top. So I would say fine if she paired this with either a full length t-shirt or a partially zipped up full-length hoody to hide the belly flesh.

Definitely not appropriate for school. If she wants to put it on display at the weekends fine, same as workwear rules really.

I work in a FE college and have seen fashions come and go but these thin/ can see your thong lines/ have to see jiggling buttocks all day long leggings are so revealing I hate them!

This thread is awful. Ugh. ‘Those teens’. Judgemental much? What is wrong with the sets that the OP describes? Too alluring for the male gaze? Because I bet they’re comfy for the girls wearing them.

if the school doesn’t like it let them enforce that rule but before I’d supported I’d be making them explain exactly what the issue is.

I wouldn’t be happy they are see through, but otherwise I don’t see the problem. It’s not the style my DDs wear, but they wear denim hot pants and very low cargo trousers, so no better really.

Yes they are. You are wrong.

No they are not, the pic of the ones I put up are NOT see through because my daughter has 3 different sets.

NOT see through.

How do you know? You can see a picture from far off. What about when she moves or sits down?

Regardless, OP has already said that her daughter's is see though.

I mean she's not old enough to earn her own money so why are you buying items like this????

My dd is 16, no way would she have been allowed to wear that at 14, probably not even now! But she wouldn't want to now I don't think. She seems to have grown out of the skimpy clothing stage and has quite a quirky, retro look now, which looks great on her. YANBU.

Because I live with her, she moves and sits down in my house 😂

@arthurfowlermood tbey are black leggings so different and I would guess that those items are a different brand and different quality. Either way the look is totally different to the pastel see through ones

@Mummyoflittledragon This is what I said - the top with any other bottoms or the bottoms with a top that is longer.

@newmum1976 Mine also wear denim hot pants, minis etc but this is a different look imo

Birthday money which I don’t control or try to control how she spends it

Don't think that was for me?

Sorry that was for @holidaynightmare !

My daughter has the fawn set and the deep cerise set from Primark, they are not see through, I'd imagine if it was white or very pale pink you might see dark underwear through it alright.

We have to be careful what our girls wear. I was some when young. Short skirts etc. Sadly there are individuals who assault youngsters who dress provocatively. A thoughtful chat is better than lots of yelling.

toddler, teenager, young adult.

The young adult is now totally in charge of what he wears. But I have refused to take him out unless he left his coat or put on a clean hoody in the past.

That's fair enough especially about the dirty hoody.

People don’t assault them because of what they wear. 🙄

Nice victim blaming shite there. Individuals assault other individuals because they’re cunts. Not because they’re wearing leggings and a crop top.

My two DDs are gym bunnies and spend most of their time at home in clothes like that, ready for the next session. I don't think they are suitable for school, though, and I don't their schools would have allowed it, so YANBU @Dramachameleon
