Inappropriate public style selections seem to
bloom likes roses in the season of summer (for both sexes). What you wear in the privacy of your own home
is your business, but what I see out in my world becomes mine. (Remember, your
back and front yard can be open to public view also.) Let’s start with my
gender. Here are my biggest complaints.
In my day, when your shorts (or pants) did
not stay up, it was not considered a fashion, but an inconvenience with the
constant pulling up to the waist that had to be done. It was a signal that the
garment needed washing. During the summer, jogging can be a hot form of exercising.
It is not a signal get rid of as much clothing as possible. No one wants to
know the ratio of your chest hair, how much you’re sweating, or how well your
gym work outs are going. Your shorts should not reveal the outline of your male
part either.
For younger women, I should not be able to
see the outline of your underwear (or your bare butt cheeks) in your cutoff blue jean shorts (or the
inside of the pockets). Those are both clues they are too short. Avoid shirts
that show your belly button, or are so tight, flimsy, (and low cut) that I can
tell the kind of bra you’re wearing, or your cleavage is out there for all to
see.
Within reason, (before you step out in public)
does what you’re wearing pass according to 1 Corinthians 10:31 (CEV): “When you eat or drink or do anything else always do it to honor God.” You are a representative of Christ where you go in public. What is your clothing saying about Him? I believe all
clothing should be reasonably loose, comfortable, and not accentuate any one
part of the body. To me, that’s tacky. Whether you have lost massive amounts of
weight (like I did through bariatric surgery) or want the outside of you t
reveal how good the inside of you feels about the person you are, there is a
positive way to get that message across. I would be willing to say you know how
to accomplish that goal.
HAPPY LABOR DAY
