Are Skinny Jeans / Leggings / Tight Fitting Pants Modest?

[faroukfarouk]

My skinny jeans definitely have give to them, and they're not tight at all. My circulation is just fine in them. I like them because I bike everywhere & they never get in the way of the pedals. I think they just look nicer too. I don't think people look at me w disapproval or whatever but if they do seriously who cares. I get to be me.

My wife wears jeans nearly all the time. I guess for me this is more or less the end of the matter.

What, however, is debatable: Who´s responsible for solving your problems.

Eish.....,???

I suggest you wear what you feel is appropriate for you. The jeans you wear hardly define your attractiveness. Modesty and not following the crowd does not lend to a lack of attractiveness.

Different Christians have different standards. I am not even going to dare to judge what is wrong or right in their jeans choices.

Note: my icon.

Designer jeans were big when I was a teen. Not major pant cut changes, but the label was the thing. I had one or two hand me down pairs, and wearing them did practically nothing for my self esteem.

Wishing you well.

Skin tight jeans were designed by homosexual designers in order to attract attention to the 'private parts ' , done deliberately .

Everything you say is ultimately meaning less,,and now I will put you on ignore .

Boy Robin, you're making me laugh.

Exactly. The fashion moguls of this world are mostly ungodly people. What the world says is ok is not ok with God. We've been subject to one of satans greatest tools - gradualism. We r conned /brainwashed into accepting the ways if the world. Remember, God says i never change. So if a bikini was regarded as criminal in the 1800 s in Gods book it STILL IS.

Hi there; I don't think bikinis existed in the 1800s; and some of today's stringy one piece swimsuits actually show more than some bikinis do (- not that I'm an expert...)

I agree that there are bad things is fashion as well as indifferent things and also tasteful and graceful things.

It's the easiest thing in the world to concentrate on what other people are wearing and be negative about it and come to regard this as a substitute for daily, prayerful communion with the Lord through Scripture and fellowship with others.

They didnt. U dont understand. If u showed people in the 1800 s a pic of a girl in a bikini and said this is what girls will wear they'd be shocked. U need to fight for what u believe in. Dont put ur head in the ground like an ostrich and pretend everyrhings hunky dory and ok - it isnt. God says the cowardly will go to the lake of fire - the cowardly r people who dont stand up 4 whats right. God isnt just love grace and mercy. There will b NO excuses on Judgement Day.

What utter nonsense !

Thanks for your response!

As a woman if I see a man showing his private parts by wearing tight tight jeans ,I think he is rather lewd , unless he is dancing in a ballet .

You are free to think whatever you want. I didn´t suggest thought police.

Better to be naturally totally nude ,than suggestive in clothes, made to attract attention to the most private parts of the body .
At least nudity is not doing that . Not that I want that either .

When you started your response with "What utter nonsense!" I expected some kind of argument regarding my post - not a mere statement of your preferences regarding something I didn´t post.

My while[sic] life i have seen and heard how males look and talk in a de-meaning sexist way about an attractive girl wearing tight clothing.

Then don't. Problem solved.

If girls dress in way that makes guys talk and lust then its wrong.

No, it's how guys "look and talk in a demeaning sexist way" that is wrong. The way the girl dresses is not wrong.

To say its up to the guy not to look is CRAZY.

Just looking is not a problem. Leering might be. But guys don't have to leer.

Simply, if u line up a row of sexy girls in skin tight clothing, and a row of girls in non sexy non form fitting clothing, which group do u think God would approve of?

God would be intelligent enough to understand that if men can't help looking at women, that's something that he built in to the human species. He wouldn't hold them accountable for involuntary looking, which can even happen when women are not dressed in a sexy way.

"Ultimate responsibility rests with the sinner "

The entire responsibility for everything that "free-willed" persons will do in response?

,and who is the first 'sinner ' in this case ?

Adam?
I am not sufficiently firm in Christian sin-ology to answer this question. Neither do I know if Christian morality says something to the effect of: Once someone else has sinned, you are free to sin.

But my statement didn´t involve the concept of "sin", in the first place.

So you are consigning people who don't necessarily follow your reasoning about secondary matters (for which there is Romans 14 liberty) to the lake of fire?

Pardon?

 

[fat wee robin]

Shouldn't the responsibility for lust be on the one lusting? If not, you can't stop at western modesty. Some guys will likely lust unless you are fully covered, to the extent that you don't look like a human female. Are you going to wear a burqa? That would seem to be the logical conclusion.

I'd say that responsibility for thoughts is with those whose thoughts they are. If not, your are enslaving yourself to the 'sin' of others, and having your life dictated by their issues.
You talk like an atheist ,who imagines 'total freedom ',but there is no such thing .We are all indirectly responsible on both sides .You have no right to assault people with your vulgarity

I don't agree with you there ,as bikini is meant to be worn in a particular situation, where I can or not choose to go , like a swimming pool or beach .
In the case of the girl at the bank yesterday who was wearing jeans so tight, they showed every line of here private parts , it was a kind of assault of indecency ,as a bank is both a place of business and public family life .
It was indecent because it prétends to be decent ,when it is not in anyway whereas a bikini is more 'innocent ' in a way .

 

[Ianh]

I have heard the comments guys make about a good looking girl in a bikini. What do u think God would think of a bikini? If it makes some men lust then its wrong. Period.

Ultimately is dépends on the Aim you have when you wear clothes . Jeans originely French, from Nimes ,(De Nimes, 'denim) jeans became pratical hard wearing clothing for working men in America ,then for lots of people . It has only been in the last years that women have been pushed to wear these so skinny they are mean to be attention seeking ,not practical ,as they are so tight underneath they 'strangle ' the body .

Not that I notice particularly, but probably nearly all the young women in youth meetings at a local church would wear skinny jeans; I just don't see this changing any time soon.

I won't say a lot about bikinis; but they seem to be rather standard wear, including by a lot of Christian women (although I'm not exactly an expert or around them on beaches).

Well maybe they should go to live in Islamic countries . Whereas one extreme is the very immodest dressing of some ,you are the other ,you see sex in everything .Take the log out ,or avoid swimming .

They have become a North American staple; work jeans; slashed jeans; boyfriend jeans; faded jeans; smart jeans; all sorts.

I guess some would say that a pair of clean jeans can be combined with a jacket or jersey and scarf to suit most reasonably formal occasions.
