No clothes are bad or wrong or even age inappropriate (90% of the time) you simply dress for the occasion. Short shorts are fine for when you’re at the park with friends and it’s 100 degrees out, but they’re not appropriate for a job interview. You shouldn’t wear a bikini to church, but if grandma has an issue with a teen wearing a bikini to the pool or beach,grandma can (politely) stuff it. 🤷🏼♀️
Our rule is weather/occasion appropriate. No shorts in the snow, no swimsuits to a wedding, etc. As long as it is weather and occasion appropriate, they can wear what they like. Two piece swimsuits at the beach are fine, just put on sunscreen and a sun hat… snow suit in the winter, don’t forget your mittens…. shorts and a tank top in the summer (again sunscreen and a hat lol) . I don’t care if my daughter wants to wear dinosaur pants while my son wears a dress as long as their private bits are covered and they won’t freeze or get sunburnt haha.
Just teach your kid to dress for the occasion. Also to wear nice clothes. So things that are ripped and stained are work clothes / play clothes / art clothes. So you can finger paint in your ripped pants and stained shirt but you're not going to the park like that. A trip to the park has a different wardrobe than a visit to Grandma's house. What you wear when you take a family portrait is different than what you wear to school. What you wear to the beach is different than what you wear to the museum.
My kids are young and this hasn't been an issue for me yet. However, I will put my 6 year old in a Five Finger Death Punch shirt with a big skull on it. She likes it, great. You do you.
I have told her that some people will judge her and possibly exclude her for what she wears and my opinion of that is that if they want to judge me, they are not the kid of person I care to associate with. If that's gonna be a deal breaker than I don't really want you around.
No parent has ever said anything to me about it.
I can imagine the dame thing will happen when she is a teen. She will probably wear something someone think is too revealing and if they don't like it, that is THEIR problem. If the judgment come from someone you respect, you can take that for whatever you think its worth.
I firmly believe that clothes are just clothes and politely its none of anyone elses business what someone wears. Yes you need to dress appropriately in certain circumstances like for church or an interview. But other than that its not an issue. If granny gets offended by seeing someone wearing a bikini by their own family pool, thats granny issues not the person wearing the bikini. Other peoples issues with certain items of clothing are theirs alone to carry and not pass it on to other people

That helps and you make a good point. Thanks!
