ItвЂ™s not good manners for women to tell other women how to dress thatвЂ™s the job of male fashion photographers. There's more than one reason for dressing hot, and more often than not, it has nothing to do with attracting a mate. Women don't just wear 'sexy' clothes to attract attention from prospective suitors. But, the assertion that the only acceptable setting for dressing 'hot' is a date is deeply problematic. This criticism smacks heavily of slut shaming. The gym is one of the few places where weвЂ™re supposed to be able to focus on how our bodies feel, not just on how they look. But now weвЂ™ve internalized the idea that we have to look hot at the gym? Give me a break. We felt we had to look hot at the office - problematic. We felt we had to look hot on dates - a given. (You think the selling point of LululemonвЂ™s Reveal Tight Precision pants is really the way their moth-eaten design provides a вЂњmuch-needed dose of airflowвЂќ?) WeвЂ™re wearing them because theyвЂ™re sexy. We arenвЂ™t wearing these workout clothes because theyвЂ™re cooler or more comfortable. Looking good at work is 'problematic,' so too is wearing sexy clothes to the gym.

What's more: Jones' appears to take issue with the idea of women wanting to look good unless they're on a date. Jones makes an overly simplistic value judgement about yoga pants, stating categorically that women only ever wear them because they want to 'look hot.' Never mind the fact that yoga pants are comfortable, breathable, and practical. And, sadly, we've been doing it for centuries. It's women criticising other women's sartorial choices that's actually bad for women. They also, happen to 'show every dimple and roll in every woman over 30'-which seemingly makes it harder to 'conquer the world' in Jones' vision of gender politics.Д«ut, here's the thing: yoga pants aren't really what's bad for women. Sexiness isn't the only problem with yoga pants, by Jones's estimation. Its author, Honor Jones-a woman- claimed that women only wear this previously uncontroversial garment because 'they're sexy,' and proffered sweatpants as an unobtrusive alternative deserving of a revival.
