I am talking about standards in general, but dress standards are definitely included. Just because the standards I mentioned earlier aren't appealing to you, they maybe for others. It seems to me by the sound of this post you are casting judgment on those who would do them. Maybe I am reading between the lines, but I getting the feeling that you are thinking that a Christian shouldn't want to do these things. (BTW, I agree)
If this be the case, then you have standards (that you would judge by) that go beyond what scripture explicitly teaches. The Bible doesn't explicitly forbid any of these things. My point is we all have personal standards by which we judge by whether we admit it or not. If we can only hold the bar to the ones that specifically say thou shalt not, then there is very little teaching necessary.
