I am quoting a series of scriptures for context but the thread is mostly about the bolded scripture.
I'll just start off with a simple question and we will see where it goes from there.

1 Peter 3:3... What do you think this refers to if not to practices such as the modern doing up of hair, putting on of the "nice suits", "cute clothes" & "cute shoes" etc?
I would dare say that the society that we live in has completely lost the concept of clothing as a covering and has embraced with open arms the concept of clothing as an adornment.
Now... one thing I ask of this thread. PLEASE do not go into all of the "well what would you want people to do... wear overalls and look all poor and sad"
I am not saying what anybody should do so please stay off of such posturing. I am just wanting to discuss what you might think that verse is talking about and how that might pertain to us today.

1Pe 3:4 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1Pe 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
