Addressing the need for Christians to give attention to the kinds of clothes they wear, Gregg Allison offers five biblical principles for his readers to consider:

“(1) Understand that clothes communicate something about those who select and wear them. Thus, Christians should dress sensibly, being conscious of their selection in clothing. (2) Avoid ostentatious clothes that draw attention to one’s status of wealth and privilege. (3) Dress modestly, not sensually, avoiding seductive clothes that draw attention to one’s sexuality. (4) Dress properly, using good judgment, and avoiding clothes that associate the wearer with rebellion and evil. (5) Spend wisely and fittingly on clothes, guarding against purchasing so as to overtax one’s budget and considering what is appropriate in light of personal, family, church, and world needs. Clearly, these principles apply as much to men as to women. Even the clothes Christians wear should confirm their profession of godliness.”[1]
