As a women this cartoon about sums up how I feel about a lot of the women's clothing in the Sims

Replace clothing companies with EA and CC makers.
Luxury Stuff pack is a particularly bad example although I have seen some CC that makes even the trashiest outfit in that pack look modest.
And as for crop tops, you know I never actually in real life ever seen anyone wearing a crop top. It is annoying when they ruins a really cute top like the v neck top from Get to Work or the lattice work top from Get Together by making it a crop top.
One of the reason I why like the kitchen stuff pack so much was that I could imagine the young adults I know wearing them, they were cute with a lot of really nice detailing.
So can we have more clothes this that are in the happy zone between slutwear and frumpwear?

I think we have plenty of variety at the moment, they've done great work with Sims 4 clothes compared to previous games. There's plenty of different styles for each age in mind. Perhaps the crop tops are meant for the teenagers, as they can now wear same clothes?
I wouldn't want them to change anything they are doing at the moment, I like what we've had so far. You can easily dress up or dress down outfits by adding accessories/stockings/leggings/hats.
I guess it's more of personal taste than anything else, but I do hope they'll add more for everyone as time goes on, so it's good if it is being discussed.

I wear crop tops lmao and I think they look great on my sims. I actually really like the clothing in sims 4 I mean it's better than the clothes that came with sims 3
I love the ea clothing in ts4 and i hope they keep up thr good job
You learn something new everyday.
In The Sims 4, though, I do feel like I have a decent variety of clothing. Outdoor Retreat gave me a lot of the "comfy" clothing that I felt the game was lacking on. I don't own Kitchen Stuff, but now that you've mentioned the clothing having a more relaxed fit I will take another look at that. I don't mind the more eyebrow raising fashions just because I play an incredible range of sim personalities. Sometimes I have a trailer park beauty, a demure bookworm, a flashy risque socialite etc, and I need clothing to address all those varying personalities. So I don't mind the crop tops or the dresses that defy gravity, as long as they're not completely overtaking my game. So far, I don't feel overwhelmed by any one type of clothing theme.
Remembering to deselect the clothing filter in CAS helps a lot with this as well. I'm not a huge fan of most of the full outfit formal choices in the game, (for my everyday joe sort of sims) and generally disable the formal filter and mix and match my own formal outfits with blouses and skirts/slacks.
Happy Friday and Happy Simming!
The ability to layer clothing and accessories in CAS would be awesome. For some of my sims, the cute little crop tops, sports bras, and tight-fitting, spaghetti-strap tanks are perfect, but for other sims, I'd love to be able to put them under a blouse or jacket or whatever. I would also like to be able to layer facial hair (I want stubble AND a goatee).
This made me laugh! But yeah, I feel you! In RL it can be difficult to find clothes that are both cute and socially/professionally/church acceptable, usually you seem to get one or the other as most of the cute stuff shows the world your undies. And...strapless bras do not work for anyone above a B really...not unless you plan to spend a good portion of your day holding your bra up with your hands. No doubt there is someone who is the exception to this of course, but this has been my own experience. My sister who is smaller than me has always been able to wear those things, I on the other hand have never been able to, not without a whole lot of fussing all day.
The clothing in the game this time around actually doesn't bother me too much though, as another person said, our sims don't need to worry about this stuff, but since I dress modestly myself I do have a tendency to pass over the sexier clothes options in favor of the stuff that I personally find acceptable.

You've put your finger on one of the reason I feel uncomfortable about some of the clothes. In RL I'm a D cup so I know just difficult and uncomfortable it would be to wear some of those outfits in RL, Also where I live has milder summer temperatures than the US while at the same time having much higher levels of UV. We have the highest female death rate from melanoma on the planet. So any outfit that exposes a significant portion of the torso simply means that there is more area you have to slather the sun block on.

I mean, I totally agree with the comic, for real life. But this is sims. They don't have to wear bras unlike real life where there are people who like to shame girls for their bra sticking out. Like. I just spent 50 bucks on this thing, I want people to see it.
Sims can be all shapes and sizes, wear whatever they want (no matter how much it clashes), woo-hoo with 50 sims, black, white, brown, blueblue, whatever, and not judged for it. Unlike real life. So let's try to keep Sims a game, cause that's what it is, and not turn it into a social stance on modesty.
In fairness though, it's gotten better. Cast especially helped in TS3 and TS4 seems to have some decent options. The TS2 shirts were terrible and they didn't even fake the appearance of a bra

Sounds like Australia.
H&M stuff in TS2 was pretty haha. I agree with TS3. You should try some maxis match cc for TS4 , there is quite a lot
Back on topic. I love making all sort of sims, especially female ones and i have many different type of sims.
I have: country girls, preppy girls, punk girls, bussiness women, artistic more hippy girls , mothers and sexy girls.
The game has a lot of issues , but CAS isn't one of them

Lol exactly, never got why people would try to shame me or other women because the bra strap shows up a little. Even a cute lace bra or a basic strap, why would anybody be offended. Is not like it is made of plum or cheese lol.

@GalacticGal your censorship could've been worse. I had "pizzeria" censored and even SGDrake was confused how it fell under the category.

Interesting how people feel that a request to have more clothing that is both attractive and tasteful is judgemental.
I'm not saying calientewear shouldn't exist in the game (is that term non-judgemental enough for you?) but has it occurred that some people would like say a non crop version of the lattice weave top coming with Get Together rather than some frumpy alternative.

Why are you offended and trying to shame other women because they don't want to wear tummy shirts or have their bra strap showing a little bit? Some of us ladies have grown-up jobs, don't dress based off what we see on the Hot Topic internet page and also wouldn't appreciate a man walking into the office with a tummy shirt or his underpants showing just a little bit.
This isn't a conversation about shaming - no one is talking about fighting Instagram double standards as it relates to topless photos - we're talking having balanced choices for our pixel wardrobes. Shaming works both ways, ya noe.
