What kind of clothing should Christians wear when in public?

[Bill the Cat]

This is a topic that really isn't that clear to me.

Say that you are going to the beach. Should a male be wearing just a boxer shorts or pants leaving his entire top uncovered? Should a female wear just a bikini?

The Bible is silent on what kind of clothing to wear for Christians. Jesus probably wore a cloak and possibly a commoner's toga. David danced in his skivvies in public on one occasion, Adam and Eve wore fig leaves, etc... It's just not a legalistic thing.

Like this. Cute pretty modest and attractive.a91568d52eb1c3340cf6b95eb2d7dead.jpg

My mom suggested using the sports bras and hot shorts made out of the dry fit fabric the other day. Certainly something I'll keep in mind for my next Six Flags adventure. I always have to wear a swimsuit under my clothes because I ride the Aquaman.

I started wearing swimsuit long tangs with thick straps high necks and short swim skirt's just enough to cover the top of my hip/thigh. I also have some 50's style bottoms to fit with a tank. As far as dress goes I don't wear anything revealing low cut at least not without a scarf or cover. All my skirts and dresses are just above the knee or lower and my shorts fit loose have 3 inches above the knee 4 or 5 at the beach or lake but I genuinely like loose long dresses and Capri pants plus there is the coverage factor. No need for anyone but hubby to see more

Why would we wear tortellinis?

Hopefully we don't have to resort to the "burquini" as seen in some Muslim countries

It's been years since I could find a good bathing suit that wasn't a bikini. I'm uncomfortable with displaying my body for other reasons as well, though, so most of the time I either have high waisted shorts or a sleeveless top over it though. And mine (my only swimsuit because anxiety reasons) is a bit retro in the top to begin with.

I'm seriously considering making one. Nothing fits and the ones with skirts are too long.

Could, yes. But seriously, why would you wear basically your undies if not to titilate or at least excite a response? Modesty has as much to do with intent as yardage.

Are there any modern swimsuits that aren't at least in part designed to titillate or at least excite a response? Admittedly some more than others.

[Teallaura]

What's modest though, Teal? Could a bikini/boxer shorts be modest?

I admit I enjoy seeing bikinis. I nonetheless do not see them as modest by any stretch, and they should not be worn in public. Prudish? That is me.
