Men find almost all women's clothing options somewhat "slutty"
By Brian FairbanksOctober 13th, 2010, 10:27 amComments (5)The website mycelebrityfashion.co.uk took a poll of over 1,300 men on one subject they were guaranteed to not be experts in: women's fashion. Seriously, though, the poll sought to determine what clothes men find "promiscuous" and, well, the conclusions made men seem like they are probably way more conservative than they really are. (Also, when men call something or someone "promiscuous," it doesn't mean they are putting it down.)
The Daily Mail and Your Tango both responded to the survey with a great deal of head-scratching:
The number one offender? Bodycon dresses—think the super-tight bondage frocks you're sick of seeing on the red carpet—which 57 percent of men said made a woman look "easy." Over half of men also named crop tops as a top offender (whatever: 1999 can keep 'em).
But it's not just the tight and mini that men find promiscuous: it's also the frilly, feminine trends we love, like a lace top paired with a pencil skirt, clocking in at #4 and #6, respectively.
Your footwear is super slutty, too. 32 percent of men said that knee-high boots made women look easy, while 29 percent pointed the finger at stiletto heels. [Your Tango]
Hey, hey, hey. Who said something even remotely negative about knee high boots or stilettos? Do straight guys actually want women to cut down on their use of these two super-hot clothing choices? Next time, the correct answer is: "they are wonderful and perfect for any occasion, including a Saharan hike."

Who gives a shit about what men think about women's clothing. Women: gear up!!!
Exactly, Brian. I find those Japanese miniskirt police tasteful and professional. Keep up the good work ladies. Don't underestimate the long leg of the law, I mean arm.
hey if you can pull it off why not besides lingere isn't business casual that's why I wear my corporate CEO underwear and when I can't I just go commando
This is all about hope. A haz-mat suit could be slutty if there is an attractive woman inside and you think she can be coaxed out of it.
Semantics. Did they interview the same men about what's the difference between "sexy" and "slutty"? Because most men (I know) don't differentiate. They're the same thing, and they're both good. And ask any woman wearing knee-high boots why she's wearing them, and she'll tell you they're sexy. So, we're all on the same page.
Now you say something
