No, thanks.
Not for me, nor to my taste.
Granted, I'm not a "young lady", but am, rather, best described as "une femme d'un certain âge", but, even when young, youthful willowy fashions never appealed to me.
You will notice that young and pretty models are chosen to wear the pajamas. Not every woman would like wearing such. But the models look quite handsome in their garbs, and would attract a crowd of young women to wear the pajamas shown.
Not necessarily. What factors people base self-respect on vary. For some people formality is important, and for some, not so much.
People also vary in their standards. To some, mini-skirts and leggings might seem to be pushing it, yet we've grown so accustomed to them they basically get a pass.
Which raises the question of whether this 'respect' is owed anyone else, and on what basis. We're not talking public nudity or obscenity.
You are correct. Even here in the interior of Alaska, in the middle of the winter, there are some who at times may wear shorts. It has nothing to do with masochism ad things like that. For example, I prefer to sleep with the thermostat set at 67 degrees, while my wife prefers a temperature of 73 degrees. She suffers from poor blood circulation in the extremities (hands and feet), so she has to wear warm winter "pack boots" when in the outdoors. But sometimes, to get her to laugh, I walk barefooted on the snow and ice at the house's deck. I am not doing it because I enjoy pain, but because I am not outdoors long enough for my feet to become frostbitten.
Some people handle the cold temperatures quite well compared to others, specially after living in places where winters are very cold. We sometimes laugh at the tourists visiting Alaska, even early in the summer. Some of these are wearing extreme weather parkas, stoking caps, and boots when the temperature may be 45" degrees F.
There are numerous athletes skiers, bicyclists, and runners in the outdoors when the temperature may be -20 degrees. They aren't wearing parkas, mittens, and bunny boots. The garbs the wear are lightly insulated and designed to cover any exposed flesh or skin. The stoking caps and gloves are made of very thin insulated synthetic materials that allow for moisture (perspiration) to pass though the material, away from their skin. They stay warm, only by continued activity, nothing else.
