A question for fellow Christians women/girls: Do you dress attractively or do you dress to attract?

Question

I am not asking to judge but curious. Modesty seems to be not in vogue lately.

And for those who have asked I do not judge a woman on her attire. My best friend dresses quite flashy and modern. Her choice but I think she would attract a different type of man with a different type of dress.

Answer 1

I dress in a manner to please my God, This does not mean boring but yes attractive but NOT to attract inappropriate attention

1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

Answer 2

Practical and pleasing to the eyes. I believe if you dress like trash (baggy clothes, dirty clothes, and even non-feminine clothes) then you are showing that Christianity is a bunch of slobs. Dress to impress because it will glorify the Lord if you represent. If you can't afford to represent well, there is Walmart or second hand stores that sell nice clothing for less.

You can still dress nicely and not come off as a harlot or a flirt.

Answer 3

I dress whatever makes me feel comfortable for the occasion. Now I am home in a baggy t-shirt, shorts and no bra. If I should go to the store I will throw on a bra and a better shirt so that i do not look like a skank. So when i public, dress presentable and what you are comfortable in. Just like church. God does not care what you wear, as long as you are there. I see women going into church dressed in clothing i could not afford, hats, gold jewelry all over , are they there for a fashion show, sometimes i think so, so don't flaunt yourself. Its whats inside that counts, not appearence.

Answer 4

I dress as I think would be becoming to a representative of God. I don't believe a representative of the U.S.A. would be wearing tight jeans and a tank top showing her midriff. Not only would that not be professional, it would be distracting and present a poor picture of what she was supposed to represent. However, I do not believe that dressing a certain way makes me more of a Christian or gives me "brownie points" for Heaven. I dress with respect to my body, my God, and my fellow humans, and I am happy. I don't believe Christians should enforce a certain way of dress, they should simply follow the simple common sense principles God gave in the Bible, and not judge others who dress differently.

Answer 5

U r right about the modesty thing but to answer ur question,i would say i dress to attact.Both phrases sound bad,but that @ 1st glance, that seems alot better.

Answer 6

I don't like to dress up as much but if it's for church I put on my Nice's attire! I don't hardly go anywhere else special except for college I have to wear my chef uniform on certain days. But other than that looking nice only for me but I don't want to have to fix myself all pretty just for somebody else. No Way!

Answer 7

I dress attractively. My dress attracting others is just an extra. Attractively means in a way that is attractive.

Answer 8

I dress classy without being slutty or dress like a teenager. It is ridiculous the way women over 40 try and act like a teenager.

Answer 9

personally I dress comfortably. I don't care to impress or attract anyone with my wardrobe. That's not the purpose of a wardrobe. I wear clothes to be warm, comfortable and modest. I wear clothes that reflect those purposes.

Answer 10

Dress attractively and show your personality. Attracting another that is for you will come through living your life and letting things come to you.

Answer 11

I dress morally, so as not to attract unnecessary attention and there is nothing played up, like exposing anything that would cause a man to be unreasonable--e.g.--attacking, molesting, lusting--etc.
