 Ah, that's where it's something. What you might not find 'decent' someone might.

Personally, I don't find lingerie worn as a garment to be decent, nor do I find looking trashy or funky or un-kept decent.

I don't find over exposure decent and I don't think the government or parents find it decent.
I also don't find wearing pajamas as day clothes outside your house decent. And really, we're only /told/ what to wear if you're in school or have a certain job where they require you to look a certain way.

But all in all, I agree. Not that I could be told what to wear anyway D;

 I agree completely, what is appropriate for you is not always appropriate to another, we all need to try to be more understanding and open. A slong as you are trying to be tasteful and respectful your style is your own express it!

 I am often Chided, because I love ladies hats, hats period. I wear'costumes', my mom used to call them, like, my rebekah of sunnybrook farm outfit, or my 'turn of the century sportswear', or my gypsy beggar or something, and some people think I am weird, but I enjoy the challenge of creating an image or style from life, and there is nothing inappropriate, just different. I get hassled by one person mostly who professes to love me, but seems to want a carbon copy of a yuppie.

 If "decent" includes clean and omits provocative symbolism, I'm all for it. If folk don't like the colors or the cut, too bad. Some restraint relative to more specific symbology may be prudent (crosses, swasticas, etc. Aren't suitable motifs in all venues).

 I agree be your own person dress how you like and what feels good to you that's what fashion is all about its like an art. Why be like everyone be you! Who cares what people like you cant make everyone happy so make your self happy.

 I agree, that's how I feel. Except for the workplace and for certain events, whatever you wear in your everyday life is your choice. We should wear what makes us comfortable, as long as its decent. When I feel like following fashion trends I do, when I feel like putting something together myself I do. I have friends that change their hair according to the famous people. I haven't changed my hairstyle in years and now finally next week I'm planning on it-but to something I want!

 I agree. As long as it's decent, respectable and suits you and, I suppose. Not too disrespectful of the occasion.
My comfort comes way ahead of fashion.

 I agree, your clothing tells, and shows a lot about you, before any word or facial expression pops out! You should decently express yourself! Definitely!!!!!!!

 Sure, why not. If you look decent then it should be OK. You are free to express yourself but some dress to freely.

 Yes everyone should be allowed to wear what they want as long as it is not offending to religion, culture of that region's people. Even i experienced same problem. But i at last convinced them in my own ways.

 Fashion can take a long walk off a short pier. Fashion encourages us to look at our bodies in unachievable ways. Fashion is for charging ridiculous prices to show off other peoples' names. It creates ridiculous styles and turns people into clothing snobs.

I wore jeans and workboots and carried a backpack years before it became "the style". So why should I care what others think. I wear what's comfortable, but I also know when not to wear certain things.

 Whatever makes you happy and is comfortable and decent is my philosophy. But if you are at the work place, you should dress appropriately for that dress code. Otherwise, enjoy your hats your eclectic style of clothing and who cares what anyone says!

 These days everyone seems to be concerned about what others think. You are the one who needs to be comfortable. You are the maker of your own design. Be happy with who you are and what you are in. Pleasing everyone around you before pleasing yourself is a waste of time because people will always find something else to complain about. Wear what you want, when you want, and as long as you are decent, don't worry!! Be Happy!!

 I agree completely that if you are wearing something that covers, what needs to be covered your fine. You can wear whatever you want!

 I agree with your opinion 100%. If you want to go somewhere, you can't just pick anything out your wardrobe, you got to get something professional and good-looking!

 I'm all for it except for the simple fact you said "decent". You purposefully made a judgment to say that you are the decider in what is and isn't "decent" .. What makes you the deciding factor that what one person is wearing isn't suitable to them compared to what your wearing?

If your in an Armani suit and I'm standing next to you in a fig leaf and some toilet paper wrapped around my arms.. Sure its freaking weird.... But you cant say I'm not decent...and i would be offended...lol

of course i wouldn't be caught dead in a fig leaf and toilet paper... But you catch my drift...lol

 I agree, if you like it and it fits properly and looks good on you then wear it. If someone else doesn't like it then it is because they are wearing something that you don't like and wouldn't wear so it goes both ways.

 It would depend on where you wear your self chosen outfit and if it is acceptable to your peers and society. What you considered to be okay may be offensive to someone else and their countries beliefs. Since we are becoming a global society the rules are changing on what you think is right to wear out in public/work is becoming more than whether what you want to wear is okay or not.

 Pencil, using yourself as an example is unfair because you are always stylin'!

But think about, for example, the know-it-all generation that think baggy pants hanging below their boxer shorts is decent. Can't they afford belts? Should we all have to see their brownstreaks?

I guess I stand at the position that we should wear what we want as long as we don't break social harmony. If you want to dress like a prison be-otch at an Eminem concert, fine, but at the grocery store where the rest of us are buying FOOD?

Decency is about social harmony, while style is about individual expression. Not everyone can balance decency and style.
