So everyone owns clothing, & everyone wears them(I hope...). But the thing with your clothes is they're yours. When getting your clothes, you can pick what colors you like, what kind of style you like, what patterns you like, what brands, what logos & graphics, etc.
Those are just something's you factor when picking them.
But the thing is, when picking clothes, most people choose clothes that others think cool or sophisticated. That's not really bad, because you naturally like to be cool & sophisticated, so you, in turn like the clothes too.
Now, this post is more for a girl than a guy, because more guys don't seem to care about their clothes. As long as they have a tshirt & jeans, it doesn't really matter. Not to offend you guys who do or don't like clothes, that's just the way you operate.
Now, by society's standards, the more revealing the article of clothing, the more it is considered "glamorous & sophisticated" or "sexy". And if you are not sophisicated or cool, then you're basically pathetic.
That's just society's opinions & ideas. And, of course, there's none more important that what society thinks of us, right???
However, God says that "a woman of charcter is worth far more than rubies." And, fact- rubies are worth more, carrat for carrat, than a diamond.
But the world sees our character from the outside. If we dress inapropriately, then the world will find us that way. And if we dress like we are setting an example for Christ, the world will percieve us that way. If we don't, they won't.
Not only does how we dress say how we set the example, but it tells about us personally. How much respect ourselves, our propriety, dignity, etc.
I'm not saying that we can't or even shouldn't wear cool cute clothes. We can do that. I'm just saying that we need to dress modestly for Christ. Whatever you think is appropriate & modest is up to you. If you dont/do think that skinny jeans are appropriate, that's fine. Its up to you & you're the one wearing them. If you do/don't think tank tops are appropriate, that's fine. Its up to you & you're the one wearing them.
Just be aware of how you set the example & represent Christ through how you dress.
