Should women dress more conservatively after they get married? In this day and age, many might say “no,” and argue that they should be allowed to wear what they want, regardless of their relationship or marital status. But of course, there will always be those who will loudly call out any woman who dares to show a bit of skin.
Like one 26-year-old, who flat-out told her sister that she should stop dressing the way she does if she wants her husband to take her seriously. When the sister’s husband confronted her about her remarks, she couldn’t understand why. Naturally, she asked the internet… and went on a long rant about her sibling. The woman was not prepared for the responses that followed.

We’ve come a long way since women were not allowed to wear pants in public
Women have come too far to be told what to wear and how to dress. Whether they’re married or not.
Fashion has always been a powerful tool in the fight for women’s rights. In the 1910s, American women were “briefly” allowed to wear pants in public. And only because they were taking over jobs traditionally held by men during World War I. The same happened during World War II.
In the 1940s and 50s, many women were denied entry to certain restaurants, clubs, and other establishments areas if they rocked up in trousers. It was only during the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1960s and 1970s that pants took center-stage.
“At the forefront of this movement was the fight for autonomy over one’s body and choices, including clothing,” explains Gnara.com. “Pants became symbols of freedom, independence, and the rejection of traditional gender norms.”
The site adds that Pat Nixon became the first American Lady to wear trousers in public, and that “Title Nine amendments declared that dresses could no longer be required of girls and women at schools, colleges, and university campuses.”
Believe it or not, it took another three decades for women to be allowed to wear pants on the floor of the U.S. Senate in later 1993.
Women and girls were still fighting against discriminatory dress codes well into the 21st century, and continue to do so. At schools, during sporting events, on the beach or in religious and cultural settings…
“Dress codes that exist in our schools and workplaces are meant to instill fear and shame around our bodies,” notes the National Women’s Law Center. “These policies and unspoken rules tell us that ‘bare shoulders are unprofessional,’ ‘wearing shorts and skirts are too distracting’…We’re over it.”
Some felt both sisters needed some “reconditioning”

OP cannot wrap her head around the fact that mysterious calm Lance chose her sparkly outgoing sister. Well, sometimes the moon needs the sun. Hardly a new thing that people find someone who completes them. Maybe he enjoys her careless ways, stop judging.

OP doesn't think her sister is cool enough to be with a cool guy. She is worryingly old to think this is how grown up relationships work. I'm not very close with my sil, but one time she asked my opinion on some what she was wearing for a date, my husband and fil immediately started criticising it being far too revealing. I snapped back, that's not their business she is a grown intelligent woman and her question was clearly to me to ask which flattered her more.

Your husband and FiL would get along with the “Everyone’s entitled to an opinion” crowd. What they don’t seem to understand is that not all opinions need to be expressed, especially when they’re stupid and/or critical. I hope they’ve been better since that encounter, for your sake (and SiL’s).

Was this post from the 1950s? Why just because you're married should women dress conservatively?

Maybe OP isn’t jealous about Lance, but she is definitely jealous of sister’s confidence and outgoing personality. Lance is quiet so it must be because of the shame that his 24 year old wife is wearing a dress above the knees. The horror!

My wife is hot, bubbly and outgoing. I'm quiet, introverted and, frankly, a tad misanthropic. She wears crop tops and tiny denim shorts. I wear cargo shorts and black t-shirts with X-Men or punk bands on them. Though it may not sound like it, we compliment each other quite well. We only have eyes for each other and that isn't going to change. We've been together for a long time, this is year 25. So, with all of that, from my perspective, the lady writing all of this sounds naive and quite jealous.
