immodest

This term operates across two distinct social dimensions: the psychological and the visual. When describing personality, it suggests a lack of restraint in self-praise, often carrying a negative connotation of arrogance or vanity. It describes a person who actively seeks attention for their successes rather than letting their achievements speak for themselves.

In the context of attire, the word shifts to a judgment of propriety and social norms. It describes clothing that exposes more of the body than is deemed acceptable by a specific cultural or religious standard. Because this meaning relies on subjective standards of decency, the word is frequently used in discussions regarding dress codes or traditional values.
