They're having fun with their clothes, and college is really the only place where short short skirts are anywhere near being age appropriate.
Besides, when minis were popular in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, there were still way more women trying them than the ones that actually looked good in them. We just have a selective memory OR inflated enough egos to think we pulled them off ourselves.
I mean, I kindof always dressed like a frigid bitch so my current style is pretty in line with that, but every once in a while I'd wear short shorts or a mini skirt and I would have worn them a lot more often had I been more confident. When my bust size was smaller I intentionally showed a lot more cleavage, too. It's just the way a lot of women are when they're in their late teens/early 20s and I really don't think there's anything wrong with it, especially if it's not something they're wearing to say, job interviews, or something.

I know a man commenting on women's attire but here goes anyway.
The quoted above is where I agree. You have to realize college has always been the melting pot of trends, with a pinch of style. I believe many are arguing trends like they are style, and not putting it in the place of where it truly is...a trend. I'm sure once they graduate (prayfully) they will begin to pull away from what is trendy and start gravitating to establishing their own sense of style.
Besides it cost money (what they really don't have) to be stylish. Trendy is just a trip to H&M.
Heck I still remember during my college years it was all about being a billboard advertisement. Even if the clothes didn't warrant such attention.
Heck I knew more women with Bebe T-shirts than actual Bebe clothes (actual being clothes that they sale that didn't say Bebe).
