Like you did?
Too bad men can't look Christian.
I don't think there is anyone who is sincerely trying to follow God who will deny that modesty is a good thing. But the idea that we must have a certain dress code so that everyone can spot us (women only) in a crowd is not Biblical.
And what about the women who sport the look, but their heart is anything but holy? I have known women who had hair to their knees, skirts to their ankles, sleeves to their wrists.... and went trolling for men in stores, planning rendezvous to meet them later. Married women. I've also known women who didn't meet the Apostolic "look" standard, but who would never consider being anything but faithful to their husbands. Who were true Christians, to the bone. If I were going to ask one of them for prayer, I'd choose the latter.
Jesus (who should know) said that we would be known by our love one for another, not our clothing styles.
