How should I dress to work?

1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price

Does the Bible oppose wearing of Jewelers or putting on hair stlyes? The answer is No. What the Bible teaches in all the passages that dwells on Christian clothing is modesty.

This simply means what should wear should glorify God. What you wear on your head or wrist should not beautify you and glorify God. The Bible also teaches that you should place more emphasis on your inner character than you outer dressing.

God, more valuable than expensive and fashionable clothing or dressing.But this is not to say that the Bible opposes wearing of Jewelers, hair styles or dressing. If you look at 1 Peter verse 3 quoted above, the Bible talks about three things -hair dos, wearing of golden Jewelers, and

If we study the passage quoted above, we see the Bible talks about the need for Christian wives to be chaste, meek, quite and incorruptible. The word of God states that this is more important that the paraphernalia of any cloth you may be wearing.

So as a Christian woman, you should spend more time in developing your spirit than your body. You should spend more time in building your character to be Christ like than in building an expansive ward robe. 

Adhering to Chrisitan virtues is priceless in the sight of clothing.  If we interpret the scriptures in 1 Peter 1-3 that the Bible is against wearing of Jewelers and Hair dos, then we must also extend this to wearing of apparels, that is also mentioned in the passage. Of course this will be irrational and illogical.

The problem is that many Christian ladies have abused the liberty that the Bible grants in this context and are wearing Jewelers that are distractive, hair dos that are Jezebelic and clothing that are too revealing.

I guess it is for this reason that some Churches completely ban their members from wearing Jewelers, fashionable hair stlyes, and revealing clothing.

I believe every woman has to decide for herself what is right and proper to wear based on the scriptural teachings of modesty. Just let the Spirit of God to advice you whether it is proper for you to wear that Jeweler, hair do or clothing.
