Is There A Difference In?

Or are holiness dress standards for women only?

This is a red herring because we don't (or shouldn't) dress differently simply for the sake of it. Women can choose clothing that is modest, and it will, more often than not, starkly contrast with our cultural dress. Men choose what is modest, and they are still dressing like the majority of other men in our culture.

The idea behind modesty isn't supposed to be to wear what is different; it's to wear what is modest. Whether that looks similar to the secular world or not is an irrelevant point.

When someone brings in the idea that we are to come out from "among them and be ye separate", it should be assumed that we are only separating ourselves from sinful or ungodly practices. We aren't going to use a different brand of toilet paper simply because our secular neighbor uses Charmin so we aren't "like them." However, we separate ourselves from any sinful or ungodly practices of our neighbor.
