Men and Modesty

As my little boy grows up, I have been looking at clothes for him that fit him now and even been looking at clothes that will fit him later on.

I've been trying to figure out how I want him to dress (while I'm still able to tell him how to dress..lol. Tho I hope I raise him correctly, where he'll respect me and want to do what is pleasing to God.)

Ok, before I dive into my thoughts, I want to give a disclaimer. Please don't read this if you're not ready for honesty, personal thoughts and feelings. I'm known to be a blunt person and I say what I think and feel. Sometimes that gets me into trouble, but at least everyone knows I'm honest! :)  So, read on at your own risk...LOL

First off, I really don't like it when guys where Skinny Jeans. Here's why. It shows off all the parts we do not want to see. I don't want to know their size and shape. I don't want my daughter seeing that either. To me, when guys where skinny jeans, it is showing some insecurity in themselves and need something to show off themselves. It's the same for girls, too, because you know when they dress, showing off their breasts, or their legs, that they're insecure and just trying to find acceptance, or sometimes it's due to peer pressure.

The other thing I really don't like is when guys where really tight t-shirts or sweaters. Honestly, guys, women (for the most part), don't like that. They don't think that is sexy, or hot. When I see a guy driving down the road with his big pick up truck's window rolled down, and his arm all pressed up against the side of the truck, trying to make their muscle stick out, I think, "grow up."

Let's raise our young men to want to be modest in their dress too! Let's help our young women keep their minds pure and holy when they're spending time with guys. Let's show the world there is a way to be godly, and pure, all the while, still being stylish. I'm not against style and looking "cute" or whatever. I just think there should be a balance.

Here a couple of pictures of some young kiddos and some teenagers dressed stylish, yet modestly. :)  I know all these guys are dressed in pants. I'm not against shorts. I just couldn't find any pictures with guys dressed in shorts that looked modest. But I know there are some really nice, modestly loose shorts that men/boys can wear.

Blessings~
