JAXFAM6 made the perfect point when he pointed out that Jesus didn't dress differently than the world around Him. The impact He made was based on what He DID - not what He wore.

Good point,
EXAMPLE:
Punkers who dress the way they do as a sign of their rebellion, when they receive th gift of the Holy Ghost and take out the piercings and other 'utilities'
on their own should not be discouraged from doing so but someone who dresses normally in a modest fashion needs not to be told they need to wear their collars up to their ears either.
