Additional Information

"Never lower your dress standards for any occasion.  Doing so sends the message that you are using your body to get attention and approval and that modesty is important only when it is convenient.  Immodest clothing includes short shorts and skirts, tight clothing, shirts that do not cover the stomach, and other revealing attire.  (For the Strength of Youth, p. 15)

Dressing Modesty

"If we desire the companionship of the Holy Ghost, we must invite it by dressing modestly.  If we desire a temple marriage, we must prepare now by dressing modestly.  If we truly consider our body to be a temple of God, we must show our appreciation for this precious gift by dressing modestly.  And though we have discussed mostly outward appearance tonight, we need to remember that modesty encompasses much, much more.  It involves the mind, the body, the heart, thought, language, dress and behavior.  It is an identifying characteristic of who we are."

(Susan Bednar, "Reverencing Womanhood," BYU-Idaho Six-stake Fireside, September 2001)

Casual Dress

"Casual dress is discouraged on campus and is not appropriate for the classroom.  Modest and clean casual dress may be worn to outdoor and recreational activities where a higher standard is not specified.  Casual dress would include clothing like knee-length shorts, capris, T-shirts, PE-type clothing and flip-flop type shoes.
