Question

here is the top:
http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90038&productId=0352_5848
(in purple)

My dad said that the top wasn't "appropriate" for me to wear to school. I know he means well, so I just changed into another top. Anyway, I just was wondering whether you thought it was appropriate or not.

thanks! :)

Answer 1

As long as at least three buttons were buttoned, and you had on a tank top or something underneath, I guess it would be appropriate.

It fits the average school rules, because it doesn't have spaghetti straps and if buttoned it *shouldn't* show much cleavage, if any. As long as it didn't ride up or show your tummy, I would find it to be okay. If your dad thinks it's inappropriate, then stick by what he says. He's only looking out for you, and he means well.

Maybe you should talk to your dad (possibly mum, too) about what he considers appropriate. If you know what he thinks is "okay" to wear, then you can try to stick to that. Your dad was a teenage boy once, and he's only concerned because he knows what type of thoughts they have!

Answer 2

In my opinion, I think it is alright as long as you wear a cami or tank top underneath of it. I can see how he would say it is not appropriate. AND, it depends on the age you are. Trust me, my dad wouldnt let me wear things like that when I was like 12 to 14 years old. Now, I am 17 and it really doesnt matter.

Answer 3

I think it totally depends on your bust line.



On a tiny little thing with no curves, this would be modest and sweet; on a girl with curves, it could be pretty revealing, and quite distracting for the boys. Your daddy just wants people to listen to what you say and who you are, and not know you only for your body.



I think you could make it school appropriate with a tank or cami underneath, and/or a light 3/4s sleeve cardigan over it.

Answer 4

Yes,it is but if you were to go to my school,it wouldn't be unless you was wearing another shirt over it or under it in in order to not see underarms. But, I would definitely wear it to school to see what the "authorities" would say. If they say something about it, then just wear something along with it like a light-weight jacket or maybe even a fishnet shirt under it.

Answer 5

well in my school we have a three finger rule that the strap that goes over your shoulder has to be atleast 3 fingers wide and tell your dad that you think it is so approprite and if he doesn'r agree just wear a really cute sweat shirt over it! a( i know its now like 100 degrees out but u know try it. and i love that top u have great taste

Answer 6

Looks like it may be low cut. When I was in school they didn't allow sleevless shirts or tank top style shirts. Shows too much skin and drives the boys nuts.



Your dad was a teenage boy once. Trust him on it.

Answer 7

in my school all the girls dress like sluts, but they only let us wear tank tops that cover our shoulders so i guess thats ok. and if you have to think about whether the outfit is appropriate or not then it most likely is not appropriate.

Answer 8

i think it's fine, I have worn things like that to school before myself. The only thing is, you may need a jacket or something to cover the straps cause teachers (and parents) can be a little strict on that

Answer 9

It depends, it doesn't look like anything other than your arms would be showing. I personally see no problem with it, but maybe if it's a little too form fitting and shows a little cleavage, it may be something for someone a little older.

Answer 10

I love it but maybe he thinks its inappropriate because it comes down kind of low in the front. Maybe put a cami under it so it isnt as open

Answer 11

yeah, as long as you button it up all the way.



sorry also no offence its ugly...sorry! :D

trust me, i mean well!



by the way your fathers prabably worryed worryed you'll button it down low while your at school. u should get a nice little plain teal-ish blue shirt to wear under it. layers r fun! MIX IT UP A LIL!!!! WOOOPIE!

Answer 12

Yeah its fine, my highschool didn't get a dress code until this year, but the middle school shoulderband needed to be 2 fingers width, which that is.

Answer 13

i think it's a little too showy 4 school but adorable 4 summer time! Good choice!!

Answer 14

i think it could be appropriate if you wore a cami under it, and had it buttoned all the way up or most of the buttons done

Answer 15

depending on who you talk to, many people agree that it is better to have a top with sleeves to wear to places that are not just social gatherings (school/work/etc).



i don't really see anything wrong with it, but he does have a point.

Answer 16

i think that it would be appropriate if u would wear a tank top. maybe a white one

Answer 17

it all depends on your age and how you where it if you've got dbl d's and no bra, not very appropriate, but if your not wearing it like lingerie i think its fine, but your dad say's no and thats what goes, sorry you spent your dads money on something you couldn't wear

Answer 18

Are you allowed to wear tank tops? Because these straps are definitely same design.

Otherwise, I think it is very pretty!

Answer 19

I don't understand how that top could be considered inappropriate assuming you would have majority of the buttons done up.

Answer 20

It looks fine to me but make sure its buttoned pretty high up that might be what he wass talking about.

Answer 21

It's not too bad, but yes he means well! No, I was expecting worse than that, but trust me, just listen to your parents as much as you can!

Answer 22

yeah i think it's appropriate at my old school the straps or whatever had to be the thickness of 2 fingers and they looked thick enough.

Answer 23

Wow! I don't see how anyone can think that shirt is inappropriate for school. That's a cute top and I don't think that its inappropriate at all.

Answer 24

i think it's appropriate,

it looks like more than 2 fingers,

and that's the rule at my school

Answer 25

I think it's appropriate. It's not too revealing or anything.

Answer 26

Easy answer. Here's how you can tell. You like and dad doesn't then yes. Dad likes it and you don't then no. Fight the system girl!

Answer 27

Psh, no. Loose fit, you're not showing a lot of skin... damn girl, it's summer, that's completely appropriate.

Answer 28

Looks appropriate to me.

Answer 29

no as long as you wear a white or purple cami under it

Answer 30

Answer 31

Answer 44

I think it is okay! as long as you had it buttoned up all the way

Answer 45
