"Know ye not are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? . . . . . The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are" (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
Your body is God's sacred creation. Respect it as a gift from god, and do not defile it in any way. Through your dress and appearance, you can show the Lord that you know how preciouss your body is. You can show that you are a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Prophets of God have always counseled His children to dress modestly. The way you dress is a refelection of what you are on the inside. Your dress and grooming send messages about you to other and influence the way you and others act. When you are well groomed and modestly dressed, you invited the companionship of the Spirit and can exercise a good influence on those around you.
Never lower your dress standards for any occasion. Doing so sends the message that you are using your body to get attention and apprvoal and that modesty is important only when it is convenient.
Immodest clothing includes short shorts and skirts, tight clothing, shirts that do no cover the stomach, and other revealing attire. Young women should wear clothing that covers the shoulder and avoid clothing that is low-cut in the front of the back or revealing in any other manner.
Young men should also maintain modesty in their appearance, and hairstyle. Always be neat and clean and avoid being sloppy or inappropriately causal in dress, grooming, and manners.
Ask yourself, "would I feel comfortable with my appearance if I were in the Lord's presence?"
Someday you will receive your endowment in the temple. Your dress and behavior should help you prepare for that sacred time.
Do not disfigure yourself with tattoos or body piercingss. If girls or women desire to have their ears pierced, they are encouraged to wear only one pair of modest earrings.
Show respect for the Lord and for yourself by dressing appropriatley for Church meetings and activites, whether on Sunday or during the week. If you are not sure what is appropriate, ask your parents or leaders for help.
