Deuteronomy 22 vs. 5The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

  1. A trouser is not mentioned in this passage, but we can substitute the word ‘garment’ for trousers.
  2. We need to define what is a ‘man’s garment and a ‘woman’s garment.
  3. Trousers are generally regarded as men’s garments, though this definition varies from culture to culture, and it is also influenced by weather conditions.
  4. In India for instance, women wear a sort of trousers and this is like the common traditional dress.
  5. In Europe and the Americas, both men and women need to wear thick ‘trousers’ to withstand the cold and biting weather conditions.
  6. In Africa, the culture and tradition frown at the wearing of trousers by women.
  7. Any garment you wear, whether it is trousers or gowns, what God expects is that it should be for modesty and beauty.
  8. It is an abomination and ungodly for women to wear sexually provocative, tight-fitting, see-through, and revealing garments either gowns or trousers.
  9. It is also an abomination if men wear revealing garments.
  10. I will not encourage my daughter to wear trousers unless it is for occupational reasons or weather conditions and it is sewn like ‘women’s trousers.
