Hipsters and mini skirts are to be banned.

[123everton]

In the news today a town on the outskirts of Naples is to ban the min skirt and low slung hipster style jeans as they're indecent.
Taking a liberty or what?

[DrFilth]

are you after people saying how wrong it is so you can say it is wrong to ban the burka .
it is there place so you follow the rules they make.

[B00]

Nope, totally agree.

The sight of flabby bellys hanging out over the tops of these things over summer was replusive, and that was just mine ;-)

[mollykins]

Is it somewhere like Monaco where men can't go around topless?

[AlBags]

Crackers.

[123everton]

Are they taking a liberty or not?
It's a simple question, would any adult woman be happy to be told to wear a longer skirt because they shouldn't go out looking like that?
Would any adult woman be happy to be told they can't wear their favourite trousers, and would they be willing to risk arrest for it?

[123everton]

It's outside Naples Molly, not a bit like Monaco, but that's included also men have to wear a shirt.

[AlBags]

Probably cut down car and bicycle accidents tho : ) lol

It's bit over the top, as it were, but if this small town wants to make a stricter dress code than others, so be it, but I suspect this rule will not be enforceable or enforced in a place outside Naples.But it did get the town a lot of attention.

French resorts on the Cote d'Azur and yes, molly,the Principality of Monaco do have a dress code, which is enforced, but that is to stop people from wearing beachwear or going topless when in the town, away from the beaches. It applies to both sexes and is not confined to dull places like Menton. Juan-les-Pins, for example, has this rule.

would like to see something like this for girls under 16.

[crapmemory]

I would like to ban men wearing trousers so low their pants are on show! Also, how can they run for a bus?

[Postdog]

Italian women have moustaches anyway - right turn off!

[123everton]

Eddie makes a good point about enforcement.
What none of you have grasped though is the notion of mission creep.
As has been mentioned the burkha banners are just the thin edge of the wedge, already women are being attacked in France as a result of this reactionary rhetoric (they can wring their hands and say "it wasn't me" and "I don't support that!") but it's a fact, it's a fact that no sooner did France ban the burkha than it expelled the gypsies, before you know it France will be trying to expel French undesirables of foreign descent.
It's a slippery slope when you allow prejudice to define your laws especially if you begin to enforce a dress code.

You don't need to go to Naples to see the mini skirt banned. They're being banned in Cheshire too:-

No I don't think so.

Once upon a time common decency would stop certain types of dress, its a pity that in this day and age there have to be rulings about such things.

[mccfluff]

Steve you haven't thought that one through, imagine john prescott.....

[jaydah]

cut down on Saga tourism
