"Modest" Young Women's Clothing Back in Style

Modesty in young women's clothing is getting a boost from the dismal economy. When consumer spending was in overdrive, retailers could sell to the masses and ignore the more muted voices asking for a decent supply of sleeved shirts or prom dresses that show more fabric than skin. Now, however, it's the rare retailer who's willing to take the chance of turning off any possible customer. Whether it's more of a fiscal or moral shift, understated girls' clothing may indeed be making a comeback.

My question is should modesty have ever gone out of style. Why do we as parents give in to such pressure from our children? If we learned about our style from the ultimate "style guide", I think modesty (humility) may be at its core.
