The online community has been debating for the past few days about some students in Ho Chi Minh City who go to school wearing revealing clothes, revealing their chests, revealing their navels, or even wearing shorts. Is it the right of each person to dress however they want, regardless of what others think, or should they dress for the right person at the right time?

The article "Wearing revealing, wearing... pajamas to school is freedom or an eyesore?" posted on Tuoi Tre Online immediately received many comments from readers. Most of them opposed dressing without "looking before and after" when going to public places. Many readers said that personal freedom cannot be used as an excuse for being sloppy and disrespectful to others when going out.

Reader Tam Da shared: "It's right to wear whatever you like. If you go to the beach, wear a bikini. I like to look at bikinis, but wearing a bikini to the market, or pajamas, gym clothes to the lecture hall, supermarket, or movie theater is disrespectful to others. There is no rule prohibiting you from wearing something. The prohibition is in your head. It's culture and education."

Sharing the same opinion, reader Ly Nguyen Khanh also commented: "Dressing beautifully is different from being revealing. Don't say that in this modern civilized era, we have freedom like in foreign countries where we can wear whatever we want.

As a student, you should dress in a way that is both beautiful and polite, not too offensive, so that people will like you and compliment you. If you are so confident that you wear pajamas to school and think you look beautiful, then you are probably the only one who thinks you are beautiful, but other people will find it ridiculous.

Reader Mai Nguyen lamented: "Ridiculous, can't distinguish between personal freedom and ridiculous. Don't say that's a difference."

"How to dress is everyone's freedom, the law cannot specifically regulate it. In my personal opinion, the most important thing is still each person's awareness. For example, each person must be aware of how to dress when going to a temple or a funeral compared to how to dress when going to a wedding or a ball... People can judge a person based on how they dress," reader Tan Tran commented.

Reader Hung commented: "Agree with this article. 12 years of wearing uniforms in high school still does not create a suitable and neat dress code for many young people. When they go to university, they let loose and wear whatever they want: pullovers, drawstring pants, slippers, and sleeveless dresses. Students in the dormitory literally roll out of bed, put on slippers and run to school. Future intellectuals with such bad manners.

You should learn to dress according to the profession you are pursuing in the future. Law students should dress like lawyers, economics students should dress like businessmen. Sloppiness and bad taste are ingrained and cannot be changed.

Talking about this issue, reader Sang said: "In cases where the school does not have regulations or prohibitions, students still need to dress in a way that shows that they are educated, cultured, and respectful to teachers. It cannot be said that freedom of dress means being able to wear clothes that are too thin or too short like in the bedroom to express one's ego. It is different from going to bed and even more different from going to the beach. It is very offensive, especially lacking respect for lecturers and lacking respect for oneself."
