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.

Sorry, I just disagree. Some things do not look good on some people. It isn't about body shaming. Every body type out there can be sexy with confidence and the right presentation. I am personally confident and happy with my body. Sure, it could look better, but that requires work. However-just because I'm confident doesn't mean I look good in something super tight or that my cellulite magically disappears or that I won't have a roll over my pants if I buy them too small. It isn't about being skinny or having itty legs. Kim Kardashian has led the way in showing that those of us with thighs and hips are hot...but her curves are tight and toned so those itty bitty shrink wrapped dresses worked on her. (Though again, no matter how Kim-tastic you are, I still think showing all the goodies at once is not classy. I feel like I have to say that because I use her as an example so often in daily conversation.) For the rest of us, there are other ways to show off. I've never felt I'm missing out because I don't wear super tight mini dresses.
And if I do show up in something that makes me look like a 10 pound sausage in a 5 pound casing, someone sure as hell better tell me to go home and reconsider. No amount of confidence will make that situation sexy. Though I'd prefer they find a gentler way of saying it.
