Three Biblical Principles of Godly Dress:
Published Date:
August 22, 2004 - Discreet and Moderate--Not Flashy (1Peter 3:3-4 [3] Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
[4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

[10] But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
See All...) - Distinct as Male or Female--Not Fishy (1Corinthians 11:13-15 [13] Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
[14] Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
[15] But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Proverbs 25:1
These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
