Very well. EVERY church or movement that took that route, and just left it up to the saint and his or her God, has (in my experience) wound up full of "saints" who either look like they are going to a night club (aka "meat market") or they dress like "people of wal-mart".
The bible seems to give pretty good "standards" but since cross dressing is being determined to be okay and since apparently nothing written means what it looks like it says (gotta have a degree in ancient lingo to understand so you'll know it all was in reference to peculiar ancient customs no longer prevailing).... so what's to be done?
Why, pat each other on the back, tickle the ears a bit, rejoice in our advanced knowledge (we've come a long way baby!) and continue NOT having genuine revival.
Sure, why not? It's worked so far, eh?

What are your suggestions for teaching modesty?
