NTA – Friends shouldn’t dictate how you dress or act

NTA. Scottish person here too and the heat lately has been unbearable. You’re allowed to wear short and slightly revealing clothing if you want as it’s literally the weather for it and it’s your choice to do so. Your friends are incredibly shitty for trying to force you to change. With attitudes like that, I would have kicked them out too.
