MODESTY

Text : 1Timothy 2:9. 

Women, for their part, should display their beauty by dressing modestly and decently in appropriate clothes, not with elaborate hairstyles or by wearing gold, pearls, or expensive clothes.

If there's any instruction given specifically to women, it is about modesty. Note that the "women" here has no age barrier, if you are a female, then, this instruction is for you. 

In the name of fashion or civilisation, women have thrown their sense of decency and modesty to the air. Unfortunately,  Christian women are also not left out in this vice. 

Everyone knows what modesty is but for better explanation, see how easy English version of the Bible renders this verse. 

 _Also, I want the women to wear proper clothes. Women should wear clothes that do not show their bodies too much. A woman should not wear clothes that cause other people to be ashamed about her. Women should not do their hair in an expensive way that takes a lot of time. Nor should they wear gold or beautiful stones or expensive clothes._ 

 *A woman should be modest in her dressing, hairstyles and makeups. True beauty comes from within and not from the externalities.* 

Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses.

Instead, it should be the inner disposition of the heart, consisting in the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which God values greatly. (1 Peter 3:3-4).

Obviously,  there is a pull from the pit of hell in this last days pressuring everyone to flow with the trends. However, Romans  5:20 says, "....where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: so you have the much more grace to overcome the pull of sin".
