Tunics: A Modest Alternative

Dressing modestly can often make shopping hard. Most of the styles offered today are designed to be sexy and seductive. This is a problem for Christian women.

I like to wear jeans. They are comfortable and very versatile. However, they fit too tight in the bottom area. It seems that no matter what size I get, I always have that problem.

To remedy  this, I started to wear tunics. They were a great way to be comfortable, wear my favorite jeans and be modest all at the same time. For you women of God that are having a hard time finding modest but trendy clothing, try wearing tunics. They are long and cover the areas that we don’t want to draw attention to. You add a belt for more style and even sleeveless turtle necks underneath.  Tunics can not only be worn with jeans. Some are more dressy and can be worn with slacks. They are very seasonal. You can buy thick sweater tunics for winter and buy linen short sleeve tunics for summer.

An alternative to the tunic is the shirt dress. The world has designed these to be worn without pants. I have found some that are a modest length and can be worn by themselves. But I like to buy the short ones to be worn with pants. They too are seasonal, coming in many different sleeve lengths and materials.

The bible says to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove (Matthew 10:16). So ladies, let’s be a witness to world through our wardrobe by trendsetting and turning the things meant for bad by the devil into things meant for good and win souls to Christ.
