Clothing and Fashions
- Women may not wear men's clothing or vice versa -- it's an "abomination unto the Lord."
- The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's
garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. -- Deuteronomy 22:5
- Women may not braid their hair, wear gold, pearls, or expensive clothing.
- Women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls,
or costly array. -- 1 Timothy 2:9

or of putting on of apparel. -- 1 Peter 3:3
- Don't wear garments with wool and linen blended together.
- Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
-- Deuteronomy 22:11
- A man's hair should be short, and a woman's long.
- Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have
long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. -- 1 Corinthians 11:14-15

bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing
that causeth sweat. -- Ezekiel 44:15-18
