I'm simply saying that if we are going to argue from the point of culture, it is important to me where that culture was derived. And that hasn't been a part of the subject on this thread. So, I can't agree with you that clothing is clothing, period, and it doesn't matter where it began.

I know that when you study fashion in the early 1400 and 1500's that the middle class began to change their styles which were set by the elites. You even state in your post that the men in elite society started running around like women with frills and heels.

So, as Randy stated earlier, the "political" and "upperclass" have always led the way in fashion. It is still true today. And that is a point of interest to me.

Then you must agree that pants on men are wrong due to the manner in which pants started to come to be men's clothing. That was my point. If you do not agree, then you must agree clothing is clothing. Honestly does God care HOW something started when he is dealing with modesty? He did not say to dress in a way that culturally and politically was free of aberrant intentions when the specific clothing came into being. He said to dress MODESTLY for modesty's sake. So, if you disagree clothing is clothing, period, then you disagree with why God said what He did about modesty, for it means you do not agree modesty is the point in and of itself.
