Fast-forward to the NT, 1 Timothy 2:
I can't find any detailed dress code in the Bible. I think it would depend on the person's conscience, local culture, and local standards of respectability and modesty. Generally speaking, it is immodest to dress in such a way as to bring attention to your private parts.
