Seriously…!
Indeed. When in mass, I only notice people in my immediate vicinity, people that are making a good deal of noise, and people who move around a lot. And even then, I don’t pay attention to them.Seriously…!
I find it funny that a lot of people can actually remember what other people in the church are wearing at mass. My mind is totally focused on the Lord, and my priest who is giving an incredible homily and deserves the respect of our undivided attention.
I think it depends on context. In the gym, skin tight clothes are not even noticed, but maybe immodest since there are other options which are equally practical and comfortable. In the pool, a speedo is actually more appropriate than baggy board shorts which look out of place and draw attention to you. Obviously, you go for the navy blue or black model, rather than the white or pale blue. At a nude beach, you would stand out wearing anything at all. Personally, I think that guys look ridiculous trying to shower in a locker room in underwear, which one sees occasionally. Just whom are they being modest about? In a business meeting, a suit and tie is appropriate. On the street, you are not likely to wear a triathlon suit, etc… it is all about context.Dear Forum
Fellow-Men,
I have a question. I asked my Priest in Confession tonight on “Immodest Clothing”. I realise that tight pants are a problem.
However, What about “tight” shirts. Also, What would calssify as “tight” for shirts? I ask because my Priest said that this is “Grey”. I know it is sinful if I do it with the intent of arousing others. My question becomes though:
Since I workout, I like to wear “tighter”-than normal shirts. Meaning that they are not muscle shirt tight, but figure hugging. I realise it may be part of my little “ego”, attempting to look really muscular, but I dont know,
Would this classify as immodest?
If not,
then what does??
FOR MEN.
I always thought that was the point - to focus on the mass. When I am distracted, I know it is my fault.Seriously…!

When I went to mass last week, I was surrounded by men wearing shorts…so men can dress strangely at church too…not just women…but in the end, if i lust, its my sin.

Wear whatever is the most comfortbale for you.
Hydrodynamic.Avoid at all costs, as asthetically unappealing, at least these:
Ladies with class will thank you.
- Tank tops with the cut out sides that show hairy flesh - or even if you’re toned, look like you’re showing off
- Underwear showing, saggy pants look
- Speedos out of context - a swim meet is OK for aerodynamic purposes
