Additionally, we may assume just as easily that the reason why the Lord never much or ever addressed outward appearances is because back in His day, in the region of Israel, it may be that the Jewish people always dressed modestly, and so, it wasn't an issue.

I never read Jesus condemning abortion and/or exposing a child, but He did condemn murder, and so, by default, abortion and exposing a child (two common practices in ancient Rome), were condemned by the Lord without Him having to name the specifics.

Additionally, the Lord taught against lust and adultery, evil thoughts, pride, and etc., all of which can be easily linked back to the outer appearance of a person, and so, we can easily condemn any outer appearance that caters to lust, adultery, evil thoughts, pride, and etc. without having to point to a non-existent verse in the Gospels where Jesus never condemned someone for their outward appearance.
I guess so since he was nekkid as a jaybird. Modesty would entail not being nekkid, I would think.
