Modesty in dress?

[Sky_River]

Robes, tunics. If you want to get really ancient- animal skins. Native Americans and many Asian cultures had both sexes wearing what would be considered “pants” centuries before the men in Western cultures wore them.

Where did you read that women in ancient Asian and Native American cultures wore pants? From what I know, both sexes in ancient Japan and native american culture wore long robes (kimonos) and clothing like that.

Yes.

Look at Vietnam’s ao dai, or India’s salwar kameez.

Some Chinese also wear some type of pants under long tunic type tops.

This does not matter anyway

Sola skirtura is not Catholic doctrine.

It is not sin for a.woman to wear pants.

You have the internet at your fingertips and there are numerous articles and available books on the history of fashion throughout time. I have posted a couple of links you can start with, but you are certainly encouraged to browse through google or the search engine of your choice to find exactly what you are looking for.

In the past 12 months, we’ve had no less than 27 threads with the word “modesty” in the title. That does not include variations on the root word “modest” or include specifics such as “clothes”, “apparel” “skirt”, “dress”, “swimsuits”, or “women”. I think there are enough threads on those topics in the archives for someone to write a dissertation. However, it won’t be me. I am done with this “beating a dead horse” thread topic. Cheers!

I still don’t get the part about hair. Specifically, what is it that the OP is saying about facial hair? It’s good to have facial hair? Or bad? Why?

What about hair length, too? He’s saying men should have long hair and women short? If so, why?

I’m also confused about the boys not being able to go shirtless when swimming? Have I misunderstood?

Nor wear skin-tight clothing (eg a rash vest).

I’m guessing they don’t do much swimming.

I’m also confused about why shorts are OK for boys but not for girls. My wife and daughters would have a fit if I try to impose such an arbitrarily sexist rule.

If my husband told me I couldn’t wear shorts, all of my pants and dresses would disappear. I would only wear shorts. Lol.
