This week I decided to read “A Change In Fashion” by Steven Millhauser. The story seems to discuss the trends in fashion that are taking place in this world, but it also goes much more deeper than that. There is a new trend of clothing that is gaining a lot of attention when it comes to women and men alike for different reasons, which is very realistic in today’s world. Women are drawn to these designs because of the secrecy they allow them to have. They cover their bodies which covers what makes them insecure. Men on the other hand are intrigued. Even though women’s bodies are completely covered they are still seen as sexual objects. This goes to show that no matter what a woman wears her body will still be sexualized. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Towards the end of the story the trend changes more to something else more “normal” which again is very realistic. It seems to try and explain the way certain pieces of clothing are looked at and how women’s bodies are looked at which is something that needs to be discussed more and acknowledged.

I agree with you about clothes hiding women’s body from view, but men still desire them. No matter what we are wearing, men see us as sex objects. We need to talk more about how clothes looked on women and men can be different.
