In every country I have been to, men and women each have their own distinct clothing style.Hats Off wrote:While I would certainly advise my granddaughters against wearing trousers or slacks today, I wonder if the OT command about women wearing men's clothing applies to this situation. I am not suggesting I am in favour of women wearing what we consider men's clothing but I wonder how we would answer someone who came to us with the idea that it is more modest for women to wear loose fitting pants than a dress.
If I go to a store in North America, there's a men's section and a women's section. The clothes in the two sections are different.
In the men's section, they sell pants, which were not the kind of men's clothing that the Old Testament had in mind. In the women's section, they sell pants, which were not the kind of women's clothing that the Old Testament had in mind. So if I want to follow the Old Testament commandment literally, what should men and women do?
In Old Testament times, the men's section would have had robes. And the women's section would have had robes too.
