Also I believe it was the style of the day...and was so because of where they lived and how they lived, not to make a fashion statement although that might have been true for some...clothes often gave clues to where you came from and what tribe you belonged to...its more complicated then shorts or bare knees...the whole clothes thing is soooo over blown, personally I don't care if a man wants to wear shorts or not...or a woman either...I have seen woman and men fully dressed that were not modest, not because of the clothes they wore but because of the body language and their attitude....
