I hate to be the one to say this - but- does it really matter what anyone else wears? Aside from things that are lewd (nasty messages on shirts or privates hanging out) why does it matter if maybe I wear my clothes tight and aren't a size 2? Not saying that I do- but isn't Disney all about being happy and having a great time? If it makes people happy to wear high heels, flip flops, wife beaters, spandex bike shorts, pants, etc. then why should we complain? I'm not trying to be rude or play devil's advocate here but don't you think this thread is a little mean and reminiscent of high school? What's to say that what I think looks great you may think is horrible? JMHO.

I agree, threads like this make me very sad. What's next, "you are simply too ugly to be in the park with me"? "too fat to be in the park with me?" "you should be ashamed of yourself and cover that uglyness/fat up right now so the rest of us don't have to look at your hideousness"?

Moderators?

I just have to say that i wear heels every day all day (i'm only 4'10) so i am used to them, believe it or not i get hurt feet in flats.

I never thought of that.. I dont think they look bad, because there are some really cute sandals with heels but I always just thought that at the end of the day their feet must have hurt..

Regarding the almost/not just quite nude people at the park. It's usually for attention and people are going to notice. "No man or woman is an island".
When you live in a society, people are going to react to what they're exposed to.

I don't see anythign wrong with guys wearing tank tops to the park ( wife beater shirts, isn't that what ppl are reffering them as? Not sure cause I never knew them to be called that) anyway I see nothing wrong with it girls wear tank tops Heck, thats all I wear in the summer when out and about outside so my shoulders get tanned! Why is anything wrong with that? I don't get it, Anywho, I don't really pay attention to what ppl in Disney world are wearing because I am there to have fun with my family, not judge people on what thier style of clothing is... I am sure ppl don't have the same taste as me or joe bob down the street... it's a personal thing on what each person likes to wear or feel comfertable in who are we to say it looks stupid or is uncomferable

Ever go some where, store, mall, where ever, and run into the same person/people all over the place? That happens to me alot! At WDW 2 years ago DH&I kept seeing this one guy and his wife (?GF?) every where. His shirt, sans sleeves and kneckband, was a company t-shirt with their logo on the back--> Other peoples ----is our business!! Except it actually used the S word. As we dined "with" them at dinner I heard him tell another couple he had his own sewer business. The park is crawling with children! Very not OK!

Actually, I'm surprised he made it that long wearing an expletive on his shirt. As a former cast member, we were supposed to report it to a higher up, then someone would ask that person to either turn their shirt inside out, or they could be escorted out. It is a firm Disney rule that inappropriate shirts are not allowed to be worn in the park as it is not considered appropriate for a family park.

As far as being mean, since I was the OP, I will just say that I really don't care if someone wears high heels or not, I am only surprised. And politically correct or not, I think it's sad that we aren't teaching our kids to dress appropriately and with class, which has nothing to do with money. It has to do with taking care of ourselves and understanding what's appropriate or not. My mother used to wear nice khaki capris and a nice top and her hair always looked nice when we visited Disney. I used to ask her why she didn't dress down more since it was a theme park and a vacation. She explained to me that you dressed nicely because it is part of who you are, not a snobby thing, but out of self respect. She also taught me to dress to your figure. You don't have to be a perfect size 2, but you do need to know what looks great on your body type, and what doesn't flatter you at all. Anyone can be beautiful. Hey, maybe that's why I love to watch "What Not to Wear" on TLC! I am sorry that those lessons aren't being taught much anymore. I don't care if someone wears shorts or a skirt, but it's just common sense to know you should wear a bra with certain tops. Do you HAVE to? No. But it's appropriate. I've seen so many moms have to distract their little sons from staring at certain obvious displays of sexuality. If you want to wear it to other places, fine, but it's selfish to wear it to a family place like Disney. I don't think it takes many braincells to think twice about wearing a string bikini that barely covers much of your breasts when you're running around a park. Couple that with shorts that are welllll below the navel and it's time to start answering my five year olds questions while we wait in line to ride "Small World." I just went with my family to Disneyland Paris this past Christmas. We spent a month in Europe, and I can tell you that Europeans dress much less sloppy than we do. It was eye-opening. They think Americans are awful the way many dress. Is that right or wrong? It just depends on your point of view, I guess.

Obviously, these are just my opinions. Obviously, I have strong ones/ I truly do not mean to offend anyone, and for me it is simply not about fashion, per se, but common sense at a family place. I don't mean to give the impression I am checking out labels or looking down on others. I've already done high school, I'd hate to think I was giving anyone the impression I was still reliving it.

 

[Stacerita]

Wasn't at Disney but at a local park last summer,.... A woman wearing a white wife-beater with boxer shorts, knee-high socks, sandals, and no bra. Maybe she had no clothes of her own and borrowed a guys?

This sounds more like a girl who woke up in someone else's bed after an evening "out" and had to do the walk of shame.

I thought there was Disney rule about offensive logos?

Sorry just read further down where it addresses that point! So whats a wife beater? (Apart from the obvious)

AES74-


Now I have a little bit more insight on what you meant by starting this thread- not that I agree with it- but I at least see where you are coming from. I do think that young kids (boys and girls alike) do dress a bit more suggestively than I will ever let my kids dress when they are that age, but a large part of me thinks that they don't understand what they are putting out there. Of course it is ultimately up to the parents to decide what is appropriate for their kids. You mention dressing for your size as well and while I think it is a good idea- some people think that certain things look good on them. You might even wear something that you think is ultra flattering and I would think you were out of your mind. So maybe those that aren't dressing their size if you will really think that they are? I've seen plenty of things in my size - and I am an average size person- that I would NEVER wear! Yet- some of my friends can wear the same thing in an even bigger size and look great. I really think it's about attitude. Anyway- I am so off topic here! (sorry!) So let me cut to the chase (well, sort of! ) I definitely think you need to take pride in your appearance (my Mom wouldn't even wear sneakers unil about 5 years ago!) but I think everyone has a different definition of what looks good and that's okay. We need everyone to be different. That's what makes us all interesting! So if you see me on your next trip having a ball with my kids and you are dressed like a circus clown wave hello and I will smile and be happy for you because you are enjoying life.

I tried to stay out of this conversation, honestly, but I have to jump in with a story from our last trip.

My dh & I were sitting down in the back of the Universe of Energy theater waiting for the Ellen D. show to begin. DH poked me and as I look over at him, I saw, at eye level, a very short white leather skirt. Unfortunately, it was worn by a man who didn't have any underwear on - get the picture and it wasn't pleasant. There is more to the story but probably not necessary to bring up here. CMs saw him and shook their heads but none of them did anything, at least not there.

Moderators?

This is a light-hearted thread. Can we just go with that please? I have seen several threads on this very subject on these boards before, and I don't recall any of them needing to be closed.

Also, no one said that you had to have a perfect body or dress perfectly to go to Disney. What I have read is people expressing their wish for people to dress appropriately.

 

[mlwear]

I don't think anyone's fashion sense needs to be judged and I don't think many are doing that.
I may wonder "why" someone would choose to wear heels in the parks, but to each their own. They aren't my feet! I see some things that I think are tacky but don't you see that everyday?
I did feel a little weird reading some early comments. I dress when we go to dinner. I will wear sandals with a little heal, maybe a casual knit skirt (knee length) certainly no hose and a better top than I would while at the park. Do people think I'm crazy? I just go for dinner, usually at a resort. I always like to dress-up a little for dinner while on vacation. But, after reading a bit, I think most would regard that as OK. If not, oh well, I'm still going to do it. It's a part of my vacation that I like.
I do think some attire is inappropriate though. People should remember Disney is a family place. Let's not expose too much of our bodies. Showing too much breast, tush and what some have seen from men going "commando" with loose shorts is not even tacky it is rude.

 

[jezebella]

As a Brit I feel I should step up to our collective defence...except I'm with you all the way-socks with open sandals, any silky sports shorts or worse,cycle shorts, eeewww skimpy vests on lily-white wobbly bodies. If its any consolation people who really ought to know better will go out in all weathers here dressed like that. I am perfecting my American accent so people don't think I'm British

My fiance is a Brit and when we started dating I told him there would be no black socks with sandals!!! Ever!

A wife-beater does not automatically refer to a tank top. It is the white tank style undergarment that men wear under shirts-at least they are supposed to be underneath something else! They are often seen worn by those being arrested on an episode of COPS.

They are called this from the sterotype of the man sitting around in his dress pants after work, having taken off his shirt and tie, leaving just the tank on (the ribbed ones), with a pbr in one hand and beating his wife with the other.

I do enjoy the "people watching" aspect of WDW, however, one of the main things I love about WDW is that quite frankly, I just don't have to care what I look like!! Granted, I do still maintain some dignity about myself, but I do tend to just wake up, put my hair in a pony tail and don't even have to think about putting any makeup on! This is something I would NEVER do around home! When in WDW, it just seems that no one cares.......you are there on vacation to have a good time and why worry about appearance. Although I will agree that there is a line to be drawn as far as provacative clothing or lewd t-shirts, etc....... It is a family atmosphere!!!!!

I've left the family at the hotel and have gone to MK alone sat on the rockers that used to be on the porches in Frontierland and just watched the people all afternoon.

Yes. I started to post that earlier.
I believe Kevin Federline (sp?) (Mr. Brittney Spears) made them fashionable lately.
