Cultures and Modesty

Cultures that worship nature and treasure sensuality tend to dress immodestly. Those which make an idolatry out of material possessions, often fall prey to a foppish enslavement to high fashion. On the other hand, cultures which embrace true Christian piety will seek to make personal holiness the driving standard for their dress codes. They will develop clothing which emphasizes biblical principles like distinction, functionality and modesty. In short, dress is not neutral.
