Does Your Religion Have A Dress Code?
- Thread starter Rival
- Start date
Does your faith enforce certain codes of dress? For instance, if it's modesty, what does this mean? How much skin can/can't be shown? Do you have to wear special clothes to your place of worship? Certain things you cannot wear i.e, gold or silk?
The Baha'i Faith has no dress code. But we are exhorted to exercise moderation in all things.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware!
Do atheists of different regions have different customs or are all atheists required to wear shorts and a t, regardless of place of residence and weather conditions?

Marxist Dress Code.
Rule 1. Wearing this is not a sign of political maturity...
Rule 2. Help them understand by buying them this for Christmas...
I want one with Prophet Machamudim (swt) on!!Marxist Dress Code.

Not particularly. Some places of worship want Indian Attire but ehh. As an Australian though I am obliged to wear either Kharkis or Board shorts at all times
What, Islam?
The dressing code for men is to cover all parts starting and including bellybutton and knees. As for women, there are controversies, but one thing for certain is that the face should not be covered in prayer. I think this gives a hint about women covering their face in public? But that's another story, I guess.

Muslim Men shouldn't wear gold or silk either in prayer or in general.
Clothes should be clean from any dirt, urine,****,,,, in prayer. The place should also clean from the above.
Men clothes are normal life clothes, but minimum should cover between bellybutton and knees but shoulders are important to be covered as well.
Women should cover all head and body except for face and palms of the hands.

You had to slide that one in there

Only during dance ritual and extended prayer. Nothing tight like pants and a t-. The looser the better and light colors given I don't want to burn up under the sun. Other prayer times which is shorter in nature, anything comfortable. The all around requirement is, no shoes.
We take off our shoes going in the house, I do as well as before going to my altar, outside, and on burial property. (If I'm at the bus stop, I'd take off my shoes sometimes). It's a skin contact with your physical environment that and millions of people who brought us here died under our feet, so why not take off our shoes.

Yes, wear black, and wear red. Ok, mostly black... I never wear red -- I don't even own any red.
Clothing optional... Really...

For ultra-Orthodox men, its black shoes, black pants (or black short pants in some Hassidic sects), white shirt, fringe garment (some have the custom to wear it over and some under their shirt), a black vest (usually but not always for those who wear the fringe garment over their shirts) for many sects, a black jacket (or black long jacket for many sects), black yarmulke (usually but not always velvet) and various types of black hats for the various sects.
For ultra-Orthodox women, its basically anything so long as its not form fitting, its not pants, it reaches at least four inches below the knees, three quarter length sleeves, tights and reaches the collar bone. And some type of covering for the hair (there are a few different types - some dependent on sect).

Other than to wear some form of clothing, I offer no human animals guidelines on what to wear. I find the idea of dress codes to be highly entertaining however.Does your faith enforce certain codes of dress? For instance, if it's modesty, what does this mean? How much skin can/can't be shown?

Even though true that some congregations and groups tend to have their own strict dress codes and measure others accordingly, the basic code of Biblical Christianity is simply to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9) .
As a man, I testify that the most attractive, beautiful woman in the world is the woman that dresses with virtuous character.

If we ever had an RF get together to meet each other, I don't think you would require a name tag

I agree. I always dress for comfort,if everyone would do this, then it could be the first step towards world peace.
Well, the Druid police will place you under house arrest if your clothing isn't second-hand purchase or 100% organic and chemical-free.
Seriously, though... Paganisms on the whole aren't anywhere near authoritarian enough to enforce any sort of decrees like this. We'd just laugh at anyone who tried.

We have an exemption on Burns Night when kilts may be worn.
AND of course the 25th May where a towel must be carried in memory of the atheist prophet Douglas Adams.

I must say I quite like the Charedi dress code, I find it very respectable and the hat just makes it. It's very clean looking, imo.
But I also like the Islamic thawb and headdress. I think it looks very clean and such too. I also like how each place has its own type of thawb; my favourites are the Saudi and Qatari styles.
