But definitely what I see in the mirror, as a product of His image, and in consideration of my brother and sister, as well as the responsibility of being His ambassador will help me consider what to wear.. and that does (and should) make a difference!
It's not always "drastically" different, but I didn't propose that either. There may be cases where it's drastic, but for the most part, it's just living modestly, humbly and reflecting as much of Christ as we can. Clothing is an expression of you. Don't believe me? Ask the Fashion Industry. Hip Hop clothes, Hippy clothes, Athlete clothes, Preppy clothes, etc... There is a message.
(BTW, some probably wouldn't have a problem with nudity if the world started doing it. On what basis would they use?)

I agree. Christians should dress modestly and appropriately.
But many use the verse about 'being separate' to say that women must wear skirts, etc. I was addressing that viewpoint.
Nudity - well, I guess the argument against that would be the fact that God put clothes on Adam and Eve.
