Girl groups compared to boy bands

 Little Mix
 One Direction
                                                           

In general, when girls in the music industry wear revealing outfits, it is acceptable, however men in the music insustry are ofter considered more 'sexy' when wearing lots of clothes such as suits. In this example Little Mix (the girl group) are wearing clothes that show off their bodies a lot more than the clothes One Direction (the boy group) are wearing. This is because in society, it is more acceptable for girls to wear more provocative clothes and so people generally don't question what they are wearing. However, if One Direction were to go out in public or to a red carpet event with short shorts and a tank top on, people would judge thir choice in clothing an don't accept it.

Girls in the music industry also show off their bodies to attract both men and women as men want to be with them and women want to be them. However men generally don't fantasize over being like the boys in One Direction and so they mainly dress to appeal to their female audience. Alot of guys prefer it when women where little clothing, whereas a lot of girls are just as attracted to men wearing suits as they are of men in shorts and a t-shirt.

For example in the pictures below, it is acceptable for Miley Cyrus to go onto the red carpet in a very short dress whereas guys tend to wear suits just as Olly Murs does in the picture below.
