Business attire. It's not that hard. If you wouldn't wear it to a job interview, don't wear it to meet the Prime Minister. Women can wear suits too - pant suits or skirt suits. Or longer more sensible dresses that would work in office settings. Not the kind of dress where you're in danger of showing your underwear if you accidentally move your legs while sitting.

That's why she had to keep her legs crossed because otherwise you would be able to see up her legs.You have to cross your legs in short skirts.

Moi: Interesting. I asked b/c I just had a huge argument with someone at home who was hell-bent that in a conservative colony like ours with "riff-raff bordering the outskirts of it" western women shouldn't wear shorts & neither should a friend whose in-laws didn't appreciate her wearing shorts "to save her marriage she should've realised she shouldn't wear such clothing." It's interesting to see how many people our own age believe in this line of thinking. I don't doubt your feminist credentials, why would I, I was just quite shocked at these comments but then I do see them being echoed online a lot too..

^Even men, including Prime Ministers and Presidents, get flak for their clothes. I notice Justin Bieber getting trashed for his clothing while meeting the PM of Canada is being ignored. How will we do empowered and sassy battle cries then?

Modi was trashed for that ugly suit that had his name on it. It was revolting and tacky and he shouldn't have worn it. Obama and Trump have also received criticism.

But let's complain about Indian mentality, backwardness and regressive people over a starlet getting flak for an inappropriate dress. She's empowered, sassy, confident af and white people approve. I mean the Daily Mail says so. 😆

Its good to hear people fine with seeing a woman in a business attire atleast... Few hours ago that would have been a fashion statement rather than a norm.

India is so culturally diverse and rich, every region having its own dresses, own attire - woman hassle it up and proudly display it. No restrictions and there is no such called code - female delegations and personalities have worn sarees, hijab, suits, skirts to meet PM of India.

Never seen Baba ramdev in suit?

Its really the mentality, her skirt was short enough to display her ankles and that becomes a national issue?

Idiot, vile, disgusting, mannerless - that jacket gate did really hurt some fans. (In general, not to you)

Nautanki was initially called a wannabe and was being criticized for wearing inappropriate clothing for the most part... The character thing came much later which is what I observed after reading the other thread and was still quite limited.. Most people were still questioning her choice of clothes with respect to the occasion.. This is no different to the tons of judging that went on in the Cannes thread

When all else fails, bring in the so called jacket gate issue card.. No.. Nautanki has been criticized for her choice of clothing at every instance, every time she decided her boobs required air and thus had to be exposed to the full potential, whether it was her dress meeting Obama, her Oscar dress or her numerous other dresses.. There was no #expose then and yet the criticism was there.. So people really just need to accept that not everyone would be fine with certain types of clothing and do not need to have an ulterior motive or a hidden agenda or have been "hurt"

^^No, no, I didn't mean you, I was just shocked at such words coming out this persons mouth so was wondering if you too would cover up while you were in India. I understand the need to pick battles, that we all do, but was wondering what your response to this might've been. That's all.
