Clothing interpreted who we are and what personality we possess and just like the popular saying that "dress the way you will be addressed" shows that what we put on speaks a lot and goes a long way in how it affects us or the society.
Talking about this particular topic with someone some days ago, what we do triggers an action no matter how much we may want to ignore that aspect and judge the bad for being bad. It's just like waking up a sleeping dog or teasing a sitting lion with yourself so you won't ever blame the lion or dog for seeing a food to consume even if you want to claim it killed someone.
This is something affecting ladies so much because we're the ones with the physique that attracts the opposite gender and how we dress and what we wear defines what happens to us out of our homes. It doesn't have to be rape at times but harassment and this has happened quite a lot while in transit or walking down the road.
A lady passed by a fuel station two days ago, wearing a tight pant leggings and with the kind of body she has, even me as a lady felt weird seeing a lady like me dressed in such manner. What attracted people to her the more was when she had to run for a car to park, and all her buttocks were just running around in the leggings and it was sure that she was not wearing any undies underneath.
Knowingly or unknowingly, she instigated bad thoughts from people to her and that's exactly how most of our indecent dressings instigate bad intentions as well. But this doesn't still override the bad acts of anyone who gets driven by someone's dressing to be involved in immoral acts.
It simply shows how incapable such a person is over their self control and once you are being controlled by what you should control then the person is liable for every condemnation that follows their actions.
However, aside clothing being a cause, I would also say that whoever we are, reflects in what we do. Who we are judges and predicts what action might sprout from us. When we are of good morals then what our mindset produces definitely becomes good and even when we see anything that could lead us into temptation to do something bad, we are able to resist it and that's where our self-control comes in. But when you are someone who normally possesses bad habits and you have always build yourself on bad morals then even something not worthy to tempt you suddenly becomes an agent of attraction and that's why you see some acting unreasonably with children.
So I would say it's a mix of both options. What we put on, exposing our bodies in the name of fashion causes bad intentions from people to us and bad intentions are also a reflection of our mindset.
