How Evangelicals and Mennonites view what women should wear

Evangelical View:

The evangelical view on what women should wear can vary depending on the specific denomination and church. Generally speaking, however, evangelicals believe in modesty and dressing in a way that does not draw attention to oneself or promote sexual temptation. Women are often encouraged to wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees, and to avoid tight or revealing clothing. Some churches may also promote specific guidelines, such as not wearing makeup or jewelry, as a way of emphasizing inner beauty and humility. Overall, the focus is on presenting oneself in a way that is respectful and honorable to God.

Mennonite View:

The Mennonite view on what women should wear is based on the belief in humility and separation from the world. Mennonite women are often encouraged to wear plain, modest clothing that does not draw attention to themselves or promote pride. This may include long dresses or skirts, head coverings, and minimal makeup or jewelry. The emphasis is on avoiding worldly fashion trends and instead focusing on simplicity and humility. Some Mennonite communities may have specific dress codes or guidelines that are enforced as a way of maintaining community standards and promoting a sense of belonging.

Bible Verses About what women should wear

1 Timothy 2:9-10 – “Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.”

1 Corinthians 11:6 – “For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.”

1 Peter 3:3-5 – “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves.”

Deuteronomy 22:5 – “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.”

Proverbs 31:22 – “She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.”

Colossians 3:12-14 – “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
