Clothes do affect our way of thinking, this is true! I've noticed that if you dress modestly you think humbly but if you dress with expensive and immodest clothes, you feel proud and think highly of yourself (which displeases God).

In Islam, both men and women are required to dress modestly. However, Muslim women have special clothes which they sometimes choose to wear in order to protect their modesty. Many Muslim women wear a hijab or veil to protect their modesty. Not all Muslim women choose to do this. In the UK this is matter of choice. Some Muslim women wear a niqab or a burkha.

[@laurieturner5169]

I questioned this for years, but as expected, Father Ripperger removed all doubt. I always much preferred wearing pants, as they gave me the sense that I could conquer the world. Year after year I asked internally and also priests about the appropriateness of wearing pants (even FSSP priests). All said pants are fine. I still couldn't help but wonder if Our Lady was referring to pants, among other fashions, when she told the visionaries that fashions would be introduced that would greatly offend Her Son. Still wearing pants, I began researching why and when women began wearing them. I learned it began as a deliberate rebellious act against social norms of the day. This summer, still wearing pants, I was determined to get an affirmative answer, HOPING the answer would be "pants are fine." I started a novena to St. Therese. I asked the Saint, "Please send me flowers if there is no way to wear pants that won't offend your Son." 45 minutes later, my daughter showed up with a bouquet of roses that had a most beautiful scent (I'm told it's rare to find roses nowadays that have that scent). When I told my daughter what had just happened she herself was stunned and excited...until I told her what the question and answer were!! :) I now wear a nursing scrub skirt at the hospital (and boy I stand out), but much to my surprise all responses have been positive. I offer it up to Our Lady, especially on the days I want to throw a pair of pants on.

No one tells you that skirts are actually more comfortable and practical than jeans in a lot of circumstances. Its much harder to get jeans that fit at the waist and the hip than it is to get a skirt that fits at the waist and is free at the hips. Shoe selection can be just as comfortable and practical as well. The exceptions, in my experience, are skirts that are short/tight enough to make it difficult to sit down or in the dead of winter without appropriate layers. Dresses are even easier - you dont even have to match an outfit.

*Nowhere in the Bible does it say that our bodies cause others to sin, that's a misinterpretation. The Bible is clear that our bodies are made in God's image and, because of that, we're the crown jewel of His creation. That's why there was no shame in nudity but we've lost sight of that but that doesn't mean that truth changes. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow so if He thought our bodies were shameless yesterday, He still believes this today. Yes we have to cover certain areas of our bodies when we're in public because we'll get arrested for indecent exposure if we don't but clothing isn't God's creation nor was it ever intended by Him so it's not a priority of His. 1 Samuel 16:7 says WE LOOK AT PHYSICAL APPEARANCE WHILE GOD LOOKS AT THE HEART ❤ and that couldn't be any more true. David, Esther, Isaiah and Adam and Eve (before the fall) were all elevated when they embraced their natural beauty (bodies) so our bodies are not shameful "stumbling blocks", they're glorious elevation tools.*

Those of us in nursing have to wear scrubs for the most part. I can't imagine the Church having a problem with that. Most doctors would not be thrilled to see me in an old nurses dress - well some might, but not for the right reasons necessarily. But I do notice that men open doors for me, pull out my chair, even buy my lunch at times for me when I'm dressed in a skirt and a top. Can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I'm European - Mt family is American and British

[@Milkpaw]

There is such a thing as a scrub skirt, which is not a "old timey nursing costume", but rather a fairly utilitarian skirt made from scrubs fabric.

[@sweetmary3233]

I've lived all over the World and women in many countries dress up very feminine and beautiful. Perhaps that's why they ask you if you are European. I think it's a lost art in America. Women in America wear yoga pants or workout clothes all day unless they have somewhere specific to dress for. They have traded beauty for comfort.

I just started wearing a scrub skirt in the hospital-I was a little nervous about what reactions I'd get, but so far all positive!

Since wearing pants is not considered a sin, I’m perfectly happy wearing my scrub pants while at work! They’re less revealing than most snug fitted scrub skirts anyways

[@starhunter9085]

*Read your Bible and you'll see it says that God created us nude with no shame. This was because in God's ideal world, we embrace our bodies as a physical reflection of God's spirit. God is an artist and we're His art 🎨 therefore, when you embrace yourself, you embrace Him. The reason Adam and Eve immediately hated themselves after they sinned and covered themselves is because they, in sinning, turned away from God and therefore turned away from themselves since their bodies reflected God. God didn't give them clothes because He chose to and He was "covering us in His glory"; that entire context was telling us about how we fell out of His glory. Clothing only came into play when shame, brokenness, evil, and sin did meaning that it's a symbol of these things and the broken bond between God and man. Being ashamed of your image is being ashamed of God's and He didn't create us to be ashamed of His masterpiece and bury it down to where nobody can see it, He created us to display our art in a museum and be happy when someone gazes upon our beauty. That's why people like David, Esther and Isaiah all got elevated when they did this but Vashti, Micah and Isaiah's critics, who bashed them for it, got kicked to the curve. That's also why people today, who flaunt their bodies, make it big while people who bash them fade into nothing.*

There's one thing I don't agree with what father ripperger stated. He said that clothing that is imperfect is not sinful, but we must remember that Jesus said, nothing imperfect can enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore the clothing is not perfect and thus the person must go through some purification in purgatory for their sin. That concept is a bit confusing. Perhaps what he means is that some clothing is not immodest. But it is not perfect. Maybe he is trying to say that a typical long flowing dress is the perfection of clothing, but there are other styles that are not immodest such as long loose pants covering the midriff, but are not perfect. If someone sees this, feel free to comment about it.

Dear Fr. Ripperger, I'm nearly 76 years of age. I graduated HS in 1967. Not until 1968 were female students permitted to dress in "slacks" (NEVER called "pants"). I dressed in skirts or dresses up until 1968. One of the problems: disgusting male teachers who sat female students in front rows to look at their legs and up their skirts/dresses. Can you imagine how that made the female students feel? Can you really? I learned early on in life that most men do not know how to look at a woman properly, even when a woman wears a dress or skirt. Also, slacks keep a woman's legs warm in winter. Consider the necessity of a woman wearing slack for sports. She can't very well do gymnastics in a skirt or dress, now can she? A woman can very much still "look" feminine wearing slacks. A woman can, of course, dress modestly wearing slacks. I don't condone tight clothing, neither for women or men. Tight clothing detracts from the beauty of the human body. I sometimes Substitute Teach and am appalled at the way some female middle school students come to class, dressed as if they were going to the beach. Unfortunately, there are laws forbidding teachers to say anything to these students. Sometimes, I can't help myself, and say out loud while passing in the hallways: "You forgot to get dressed." "Put on a blouse." "This isn't a beach." "Go home and get dressed." Or to some male students: "Pull up your pants." Sometimes I write the word, "modesty" on the board. "For your homework, look up the meaning of the word "modesty." I don't understand why there is no dress code in public schools. A benefit of wearing a uniform in Catholic schools is modest dress.

I have terrible feet too, and I don't have a car. I have to wals a few kilometers even riding buses when doing my errands. I stubbed my toe badly last Saturday. it didn't break but the joint, where there's a big bunion really felt it. I was in a lot of pain today when I had to do some shopping. I just offer it up. I don't take painkillers although I had a small glass of vermouth with my lunch to ease the pain. Try to find orthopedic shoes that aren't too ugly. I live in Israel so I can't recommend brands although I got some Hush Puppy sandals that are comfortable and not too ugly. But my closed ones are sort of Mary Janes in a faux snakeskin. A bit old ladyish but not too frumpy. With a nice dress, and accessories, I can manage them. Unless you have a fantastic figure, and then that brings up other issues, Trousers can make women our age look frumpy especially if they are loose fitting. Stick to dresses.

I know of someone who fell into SA due in great part to a resentment towards the rejection of immodest women. He is now trying to live a Catholic life. But the interesting thing is that he finds well dressed and modest feminine women attractive. I think Fr Ripperger is right, that changing the way we dress in society will really help fix things. I know that when I wear a tie and a waste coat, I feel normal and taller. When I just throw on an untucked shirt without even a neckerchief, I end up feeling lousy and weird looking. I am not saying that fashion fixes everything. But it makes sense that it has a greater influence than we think.

[@theresaarnold8911]

I totally agree with you, if people dressed with more effort, it would change how we treat others. I usually wear skirts and dresses, but I wear modest pants sometimes. One time when I was a girl, my dad took me shopping at the mall and we were waiting for the bus to go home. Some guys were goofing around and one of them told the others to knock it off because “a lady is present”. I think I was wearing pants when this happened, so pants can be modest and ladylike.

[@CatholicK5357]

@@theresaarnold8911 Yes, exactly. Thank you for sharing. It is interesting to see, from looking at pictures, how the way we dress has degraded over time. In trying to dress better it can be difficult to find the balance. On the one hand I don't want to dress too old fashioned, since that could draw a lot of attention and be immodest. But I don't wish to be too laxed either. The strategy I have at the moment is to at minimum wear a collared shirt. I try to wear some sort of neckwear when I go out, and usually a waste coat. I find that as long as the colours are mostly neutral, it doesn't stand out too much. It stands out a little, but in a positive way. I do at times wear brighter ties if at night time. It must be even more difficult for ladies to figure out that balance than for men.

@@starhunter9085 You mention God but say modesty is "an absolute joke". So you must also think of the holy scriptures as "an absolute joke", because God speaks through them and requires that we dress modestly. He is not against wearing expensive clothing or looking beautiful. But as much as we should, our manner of dress should not look immoral or indecent. We must display humility and the fear of God in every aspect of our lives. Also: "For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. You must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble." Also: "The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them". So modesty is not an "idea" as you call it, but a Godly, Biblical virtue.

And, being rather fluffy and shrinking to less than 5 ft, long skirts make me look like a mushroom.

"Feminine" clothing has its place. But you should dress to please yourself, not any man. I am happy wearing modest trousers and tops and dressing appropriately for each occasion. I look utterly ridiculous in a dress so I never wear one. What women wear is their business, not any mans. And I am not a feminist. I don't understand the psyche of women who want to look and behave like slobbish men. All Catholic priests should periodically remind their congregations that they should not come into church wearing shorts, leggings, tank tops or spaghetti strap tops/dresses and have their upper arms and butts covered. And perhaps priests should be told to follow those rules as well. When I went to Saturday morning mass my parish priest was messing about on the altar before mass wearing Bermuda shorts, a polo shirt and open toe sandals. Then he nipped off, threw on his vestments and returned to start the mass.

If the priests do not say a word, it is also because no one has brought it up to the priest. In a bulletin, parishioners are asked not to go directly to the one dressed offensively, but to bring it up to the priest. And then there are other priests (yes, traditional) who caution us as parishioners not to judge the others by their attire.

I strongly disagree with timestamp 12:42 "It has become the general custom of women to wear pants today." That's not custom Father. It's the custom of Chinese women to wear pants, under their long garment, and even Our Lady of Shee Shan has pants, but it is not a Western custom to wear pants but a Western perversion brought on by militant Marxists in the fashion industry and television programming. The custom here in North America going back hundreds of years is long dresses. Our culture is what our grandparents and their parents and their parents did, not what our current degenerate society is doing. It has to be because the women in the area where I'm living all wear leggings, with very rare exceptions. I refuse to believe that that is culture. That's perversion, so it begs the question, "What is culture, or custom, which is formed by culture?" And the answer that I've come to is, "It's the thing we've been doing for a long long time, and that dear Father is wearing long dresses, not pants." God bless you! Ave Maria.

The art portrayed in the video doesn’t look like the type of art created to incite lust. Nudity in religious artworks is sometimes used but isnt necessarily wrong or gross.

But modesty does still apply to art, and there are boundaries in the type of messages the artist can share while still preserving a sense of modesty. If the artist degrades the human person to just their bodily features, then yes that would seem gross and immoral. But, if they were depicting something like a scene of Adam and Eve in the garden, then it wouldn’t be wrong for the figures to be unclothed, so long as the artist does not attempt to focus excessively on their bodies.
