Dressing modestly for men is not discussed enough, and that is what this thread is for. There has been another thread on this but it’s from 2005 and it was just a bunch of people saying “don’t sag” and not to take your shirt off. So what do you think dressing modestly means for men?
 
I see youngish men in dress pants that are too tight. They are the modern slim leg cut, and honestly, they are not flattering. Men can also wear shirts that are too tight on them, sometimes in an attempt to highlight their muscles.
 
No. Men cannot dress immodestly.

Jk, they absolutely can.

The big question is this: Is what I’m wearing or the way I’m dressing going to lead others (particularly of the opposite sex) into sin?

Ladies, I’m a man, so I’m not sure what exactly might lead you to lust after a man. Maybe some of you could speak to that a little bit more?

This is true. In this case, it is immodesty, because there is a lack of humility.
 
That’s true. I don’t know why I didn’t mention that.

I wear something similar to this, but my shirt is a less tight.

I do think guys who wear tight jeans look weird in them. I wear a slim tapered fit, but not tight fits.

Yup.

Not wearing clothes that accent well-formed muscles and buttocks. Oh, and be careful in well-tailored business suits. Those can be a source of temptation for women. So can the rugged look with a western shirt and jeans. And scrubs. They give off a soap opera doctor appeal. No swim trunks above the knee and no bare chests at the pool.

Oh gosh, I’m screwed. I have a picture of me that my friend took where I don’t have a shirt on but you can only see my back. So I have to wear a baggy suit and wear a shirt at water parks?
 
By your reckoning it sounds as though most men should never leave the house.

No well-tailored business suits? What would you rather see a man in? A gunny sack?

I don’t expect a man to go to a pool in a tee shirt and long shorts any more than I expect a woman to go in a long dress. Trust me - nothing I see at the pool is sexually appealing or would lead me to anything except my car. To escape it.

I WORK with men who wear scrubs. It’s part of their work attire. There’s nothing soap opera-esque about it. And they pretty much have to do it.

I lived in Texas. Believe me - there’s nothing to any cowboy fantasies on the front of the bodice rippers in the checkout of the grocery store. They don’t look that way in real life.

You sound as though women can’t move in public without falling into lust. Oh trust me - we can.

Guys - don’t dress trashy. Don’t dress like Fabio. Don’t look like the caricature of a man on the front of the aforementioned bodice ripper. Don’t wear painted on jeans or leather pants.

In short - don’t look like you’re trying to attract attention to yourself. Just dress like a rational human being. Never mind the rest of this insanity.

There is a big difference between too tight, well fitting and baggy, lol!
 
Oh really? I thought it took much more for women to be aroused. Are you a female?
 
I would just say nothing too tight, and no shirtlessness.

As for the pool, that I don’t know. There is clearly a lot of immodesty at pools. That’s why I dont put myself in that situation in the first place. It’s kind of weird people are walking around basically in undergarment type of attire anyhow. It seems each decade swim suits just keep getting more and more scandalous (I’m talking in general not just for men).

My class is going to a water park called sunsplash, is it ok if I go shirtless? I don’t have a water shirt but I suppose I can wear a normal one. People would probably think I’m insecure if I don’t take my shirt off, but I don’t care too much.
 
I think in part, this thread is a reaction to the numerous threads on women dressing immodestly.
 
Both gross and immodest. If we’re using the definition of immodesty as “improper” or “lacking in decency” that would definitely fit the bill :swimming_man::swimming_man::swimming_man:
 
I think you can go shirtless at a water park, but I don’t think you need an actual sun shirt, just wear a tee shirt and tell people you don’t want to burn if you want to be covered.
 
I figured that from the get-go and based on the opening post. But that doesn’t change my response.

I’m hoping LuminousDei isn’t serious.
 
Not necessarily . . .(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
(1) not real shorts

(2) stupid concept and therefore not worth either consideration or a second glance if encountered in public

(3) would probably garner a literal laugh out loud from me
