6 Types of Clothes which Promote Modesty for Christian Women

As from my previous post, Christian women are not bound by a set of rules on what to wear. However our choice should not stumble our fellow brothers and sisters (Romans 14) and by being modest, promote godliness (1 Tim 2).

1. Leggings

Leggings are very helpful especially in cooler climates as they help keep warm. Leggings can help cover your thighs and bum especially when your skirt or shorts are revealing a little too much. Most commonly found are plain black cotton leggings. However, for colder weather there are also polar fleece and wool leggings. For warmer weather, there are 1/2 or 3/4 length leggings to do the trick. To be more fancy, there are leather leggings, jeans and printed leggings. Remember leggings and stockings are very different! You are looking for a non-see through material here.

2. Cardigans

Cardigans can come in many forms and in my different materials. They also come in endless colour variations. Cardigans can come in long sleeves or short sleeves. They can come button up, a few buttons, no buttons or even zips. They also come in various shapes and thickness. Cardigans are most often worn over other clothes. Cardigans can help by covering bare backs or plunging cleavage. A grey, black or white cardigan would match with nearly anything in your wardrobe.

3.Kimono Jackets

Kimono jackets are quite a fashionable item this summer. This is normally a thinner material of polyester or silk. Kimono Jackets can help like cardigans to cover your back. Longer jackets can also help to cover your thighs and bum.

4. Scarves and Shawls

Scarves are amazingly versatile piece of accessory to have. There are nearly endless ways to style it. Wider scarves can be used like shawls to cover your plunging back-line. Also, it can be used to cover cleavage. On cold winter days, warm wool or fleece scarves can keep you very warm and snug. On warmer days, cotton, light polyester and silk scarves would be a good option.


5. Camisoles or Singlets

Camisoles or singlets can be worn under your blouse or dress and can potentially help hide your cleavage (provided you didn't buy a low cut one). In summer time, there are thin cotton/ polyester or Lycra ones to keep sweat off you. In winter, there are ribbed cotton, or even wool singlets to keep you warm.


6. Crop Top Bandeau

Crop Top Bandeau can be worn as a bra or over your bra to help hide your cleavage. This is a relatively in-expensive piece of clothing.
