MODEST ATTIRE

If you've got it, don't flaunt it.

Modesty is another aspect of clothing. We want to emphasize the person, not the body. The body is a distraction. In order for your personality and your character to shine forth, you can't be distracting other people by showing off your body parts.

Since men and women relate to the opposite sex differently, their style of modesty differs. What's a distraction for men is not necessarily a distraction for women, and vice versa. Men are generally more superficial and more easily distracted by the body. Therefore women are doing men a great favor by dressing modestly. But they are doing themselves an even bigger favor, because if a woman is modestly dressed, men will relate to her brains, personality, and character instead of her body parts. She may get less "attention," but she will command more respect.

By covering up what is superficial, we reveal what is more important.
