But thanks to the likes of CHVRCHES’ Lauren Mayberry, those types of people are being firmly put in their place.

The singer took to social media last night (12 August) to respond to critics who called one of her recent gig outfits “too revealing” – and remind her female fans that they could dress however they felt like.

“To the people saying that my gig outfits are too revealing/I shouldn’t dress like that if I don’t want men to comment on it: I disagree,” Mayberry writes.

“This argument assumes women only dress for the attention of men,” she continues. “When I dress for shows, I want to own my gender and my femininity. I want my performance image to be inherently feminine and tough as fuck because that is how I want to pretend to be – to myself, and to the women and young girls who come to our gigs.”
