Joelel,

The problem is the definition of holiness. God is holy. Jesus is God. There is not one scripture to support the definition of holiness as it applies to dress standards. The nature and character of God is what Christians should seek after but men have always wanted to prove their righteousness by comparing themselves to others instead. We cannot make ourselves holy by making more and more rules and laws to live by or the Old Testament Law would have been enough.

It is much too easy for people to get the concept of putting on Christ's righteousness through his imputed grace. They would rather bicker on forums trying to boast their greatness for all the holiness standards the profess to live by.

Blessings, Rhoni
Holiness is obeying the word.Rom.6
[19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity(Sin) unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
[22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life

2Cor.7
[1] Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God

Keep fruit in mind.

[19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
[21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
[24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts
