I think it is a weird statement, because there is no real corliation between dress and being Holy by scripture unless you are a UC, OP that see it differently.

If anything dressing "holy" can be more for protecting your holiness life. I think that people have replaced the term modesty with holiness standards...the truth is that we need modesty, but a dress code is not what we need. But I think it is a mixing up of terms.

This is true without holiness you can not see God. But holy living is more than about appearances.

Some have put all their emphases there and not enough on behavior. JMO

Plus I think if you are holy on the inside it will show on the outside.
