It's beyond hard... it's ridiculous! Yet plenty of people are still completely roped in. My poor husband in an effort to please God wore long pants and long sleeves in a 110 degree warehouse summer after summer. Now the men in our household wear modest (no clinging, knee length) shorts in summer, board shorts for the water, etc.
I don't wear shorts of any length unless I'm swimming. I swim in a pair of long nylon gym shorts over a tank style one piece suit. No boobs, butt or thigh showing but no soaking wet jean skirt to drown me either. Otherwise the only time skirts below the knees don't work for me is when I'm working with hogs or in briars then I wear Carhart's coveralls.
I think all clothing choices should be modest AND suitable for the activity. So there are some career choices that might be out... like say... pole dancing... But otherwise apostolic women and men should be able to live life without clothes becoming a central issue of who we are.
