A BIBLICAL GUIDE TO CHRISTIAN FASHION: Modesty and Discretion

The Bible does not give specific instructions about what kind of clothing we should wear, but it does provide general principles about modesty and appropriateness. We should strive to dress in a way that is pleasing to God and reflects His values. We should also dress in a way that respects the people around us and shows humility.

For example, in the book of Genesis, God commands Adam and Eve to be modest and cover their bodies with clothing. This suggests that we should dress in a way that is not overly showy or revealing. It is also important to be mindful of our surroundings and dress in a way that is appropriate for the occasion. For instance, it is not appropriate to wear revealing clothing when attending a religious service or when visiting a place of worship.

The Bible also suggests that we should dress modestly and be intentional about avoiding clothing that is provocative or suggestive. We should strive to dress in a way that is modest and appropriate: avoiding clothing that is revealing, tight-fitting, or otherwise immodest.

In addition to dressing modestly, we should also be mindful of the messages our clothing choices communicate. The Bible discourages us from dressing in a way that could be seen as flamboyant or wasteful. We should strive to dress in a way that is tasteful and appropriate, avoiding clothing that could be seen as sending the wrong message.
