who would you respect more, a girl who dresses really slutty but isn't actually a slut (basically a tease) or a girl who dresses modest and cute but does things with guys (not a slut, just not a prude)
At the present time the idea of style is to make yourself attractive to the opposite sex so that you can enjoy an active social life. This is all part of the teenage years. Problem is there is an upside and a downside to this in today's world. The downside is that your present will become your past which will follow you forever on many social websites.
Not everyone you will meet as you go out in the world is as liberal as I am in my views on teenagers and expression. Many in your future will hold your past against you even if your an honor student; based solely on appearance. This could affect what colleges would accept you and later what employment would be available to you. You also need to take into mind there is very much still a double standard for women.
That being said; I would say there difference between stylish and style. I would say that you should dress to fit your personality. Your not a slut so dressing slutty is something that doesn't fit your personality and frankly you won't be able to pull it off. You will be labeled, but not as a slut or even a tease; most likely as someone who is fraud.
Dress to please who you are and if it fits you and your personality; to show off you best attributes. You will then attract the kind of boys you truly want to date and get to know. Yes most teenage boys are more interested in sex than in romance. They confuse lust for love. There are boys out there who are like you wanting more from life than just a few minutes of sexual pleasure.
Dressing to show who you are will attract the kind of people you truly want to meet; which in reading in your question;is what you are asking and will help you well into the future. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Teza answered Thursday March 17 2011, 1:17 am: Neither because both are completely fake and trying to get attention in the most negative way. You don't earn "respect" if you dress slutty or if you dress modest. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
