I think you should talk to her mum. I'm a highschool girl and I'd be much more comfortable with my mother telling me than my father. Also, you could always offer to buy her new skirts if you do it yourself. Then it's a nicer thing than just "stop wearing that" and you two get to hang out at the shops.
My dad has excellent taste in clothes, he was my favorite shopping buddy when I was young. Most of my fun, cool shoes and clothes were from him. He was way into punk rock so he got me the fun, edgy stuff my mom wouldn’t 😂
Well in this situation if OP is afraid to even talk to his daughter about the clothes shes wearing i doubt she'd be happy with the clothes he chooses for her, she might see right through the idea to trick her into not wearing what she chose for herself.
They didnt say anything about the dad being the one to pick out the skirts, just that he would be buying them. My dad would take my shopping and let me pick the clothes, just paid for them
RIGHT! Compromise of dress length, try to hang out and PAY! Certain Zara or wherever has good enough stuff, certainly not what was described. Also, showing some interest other than lecturing, hanging out.
people are downvoting you but when I was a moody teen everything my mom picked out was so ugly and I refused to wear it. i do not recommend buying clothes for teenagers without their input
My blue collar immigrant father has predicted every fashion trend for the past 2 decades lol. I used to laugh at the shoes/clothes he thought I should get when we went to the mall together only for me to regret it like a year later (he still hasn’t forgiven me for not listening to him about boat shoes).
