What does your religion say about dress code?

Question

Does your religion (please state what it is), have any restrictions on how women (specifically) decorate themselves? I.e.: shaven heads, uncovered heads, personal adornments, such as jewelry, types of clothing, etc.

As in, what's your religion's dress code for women?

I ask this out of personal curiosity, I'm studying other religions. I claim no religious affiliation.

Answer 1

Pagan.....clothing optional.

Answer 2

Judaism encourages modesty of dress but this is highly variable depending on the community -- some would have no woman wearing pants, some would allow pants cut for a woman, some would want skirts down to the calfs, others, below the knee etc.

Men must wear fringed undergarments and head covering and should also dress modestly and with a sense of respect.

As unpopular as this reaction will make me i'm nonetheless going to assert that I accept as true with you. i imagine that about better than merely jobs with dress codes besides the undeniable fact that.

My "religion" Chrisianity, wants women to dress modest & do not look like men nor wear what men wear. They want men NOT to have long hair & women not to cut their hair. We shouldn't adorn ourselves with jewerly, otherwise go overboard, but keep modest.
I follow this, but donot look like my Menonnite friends or their Amish family. I look nice, but modest. If I wear shorts I make sure it is to the knees, skirts too, go to the knees or ankles.
I show respect to jehovah & know I shouldn't make others stumble.

Answer 7

I am LDS, and we believe to dress modestly. to cover our bodies so that we can recieve the respect that we deserve, we can wear jewlry and we don't have to have a certain length to our hair.


• Dressing modestly is important because those around us judge us by how we appear.

• What you wear tells others who you are.

• What you wear shows your respect (or disrespect) for places you go and people you’re with.

• What you wear reflects how committed you are to following the Savior. If you ignore how He’s asked you to dress, you’re saying, “The Lord isn’t important to me.”

• The Lord has provided some appropriate dress and grooming standards in For the Strength of Youth.

It’s true that we should never look down on people because of the way they look or dress. That’s prideful. It’s also condemned by the Lord (see James 2:1–9).

But in everyday life, we often “judge” or form opinions about people by their outward appearance without necessarily looking down on them. What you put on your body “talks.” And everyone who sees you “hears” what you’re saying.

Some hairstyles shout, “Look at me!” Tight or revealing clothing begs, “I want you to like me for my body, but who I am doesn’t matter.” Modest clothing testifies, “I respect myself, I respect those around me, and I respect the Lord and His prophets.”

Answer 8

I'm Pagan and we have no dress code. In fact it is quite acceptable to do rituals without clothing although this is optional.

Answer 9

Spiritualists welcome all to their services. Guidelines and bylaws exist for the workers in the field. If you are presenting yourself as an example of your religion, dress can show your respect for what you are demonstrating.
