Well there are a bunch of stereotypes against people who wear clothing that hangs off of them. Just like people automatically have stereotypes against black people just because we are black. I personally think a people should get to know eachother before judging people on what they wear. I have a professor who is white with a beard and short cut hair and teaches Sociology. When people first saw him, they thought he was a black man (yes they thought he was black...maybe because he looked rough), he wears baggy shirts, jeans, and tennis. He asked the class "what was your first impression of me?" The class responded they thought he was a student, sold drugs, had an arm full of tats, been to prison, apart of a gang, and more all because of the way he was dressed. In actuality, my professor is getting his PHD soon.
When it comes to how us women dress, men (not all) tend to think if we dress like the girls in the Hip Hop videos (I personally don't dress like that) we are sluts or sex hungry. Or think the girl is a prostitues or something.
I hope more people respond to your thread because I'm interested to hear what others have to say as well.
