Religious apparel has developed greatly from the way the early Christians used to dress to today’s modern and trendy Christian clothing. In the past, women used to dress primarily in long skirts and the men used to attend church services in clothes that would better fit official functions like suits and ties. This has changed with developments in designer clothing industry and trendier designs have come up to complement the traditional and boring clothing.

The youth have played a big role in driving this change in the society as is common with the fashion industry at large. It is evident that they also play a big role the trends that fashion takes. Young believers desire to look trendy and stylish before their peers, while at the same time use their clothing to spread the love of Christ. The key feature in their apparel and accessories is the biblical messages and images printed.

Gender sensitive clothing

All clothing is particularly designed for either gender while some are unisex. The same applies for religious apparel and you will find a section specifically for men’s clothes and another for women clothes. Men’s clothing can include hoodies, beanies, hats, baseball caps, t-shirts and jackets which appear in different designs and masculine colors.

Women are particular not only about what they wear, but also how they look in the apparel they wear. A woman will be more attracted to feminine colors, designs, and clothes that flatter them too. Women’s Christian clothing include, tops sweatshirts t-shirts and scarves among other modest or conservative types of clothing for a woman. A woman is particularly concerned about the style of clothing, as they have to portray their faith in Christ and not lead other people astray; they will tend to avoid clothing that reveal too much.

Christian apparel accessorized with jewelry that is either contemporary or religious to complement the outfits stands out and looks more interesting. Jewelry used commonly is bracelets with wordings like -WWJD’ crucifix necklaces with a crucifix pedant, earrings and other stylish jewelry that is modest for a believer.

Christian clothing is useful in making a statement about ones faith without opening the mouth to speaks and is a wonderful tool for evangelism too. Growth in the fashion industry has enables young believers to dress modestly and stylishly and integrate their faith into their daily life. Essentially, religious fashion has evolved over the years and is growing in leaps and bounds while preaching the gospel of Christ to the unreached and the rest of the world.

Islam provides its followers with thorough guidance and codes of conduct for all walks of life. Women being the most important pillar of the society hold great respect and importance in the Islamic society. Islam has selected a dressing code for women too. Women must dress up modestly both indoors and outdoors and cover their entire body with loosely fitting clothes exposing only their face, hands and feet. In the Holy Quran Allah has stressed upon the need for modesty repeatedly demanding women to not to look sexually appealing for male strangers. It says in detail:

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful. (Quran, 24:31)

An open display of beauty and ornaments to male members of the society who are not blood relations is forbidden in Islam. Women in an Islamic society wear Jilbab and Hijab. Jilbab is a loose robe that covers the body from shoulders to toes and looks somewhat like a large foot-length gown. Hijab is the head covering that usually has veil too and is also known as Khimar in some parts of the world. Niqab is the veil worn by women and is considered a prominent Islamic symbol all over the world. In the Arab world, women wear Thobes for indoor dresses. For outdoors Abaya is a favourite among the Middle Eastern women. Abayas and Thobes are available in innumerable designs and cuts all over the world to suit the style and taste of the Muslim women.

In the eastern Muslim countries, especially the Indian Subcontinent, women wear Shalwar Kameez as their indoor dress, they wear a large Chador to cover their body and head for an outdoor dress. Abayas or Afghan model Burqas are a popular outdoor dress for women in this region. Again a variety of fabrics, cuts and patterns are used for the Burqa. Chiffon, Cotton, Georgette and silk are some favourite fabric. Eastern women prefer wearing beautiful and attractive patterns on their Abaya and Burqa. Usually the edges of robes and head scarves are embroidered or sequined.

Islamic dresses for women have been a center of controversies globally. Especially the Hijab has been banned in several European countries. In French educational institutions several students have been expelled for wearing Hijabs in last few years and laws have been passed against the use of explicit religious or political symbols in educational institutions. Tunisia and Turkey are two Muslim countries where headscarves or Hijabs are banned in public schools and universities.

When that closet becomes full and room for new clothes becomes sparse, a san diego self storage unit may be just what you need to get the clothes you arent wearing, but still want to hold on to into a safe place. When putting clothing items into a self storage unit, it is important to take every precaution to protect your clothing from being damaged, whether by environmental variables or pests. Here is a list of things that will help keep your clothing looking and feeling new until the day you decide to take it back out of storage:

Clean all clothes thoroughly prior to storage. For long term storage, do not use starch or any other type of finishing product on the clothes as it will attract moths or other pests you dont want in your clothing.

The place where you store your clothes should be cool, dry, and dark. Sunlight, extreme heat and humidity can be damaging to clothing.

Try not to leave clothing in storage for more than a year without inspecting its condition. If you are storing clothing for an extended amount of time, do routine checks every 8-12 months to make sure there is no mold or pest infestation.

Do not use vacuum sealed bags or airtight containers to store your clothes. This can promote the growth of mold. Clothing should have access to proper ventilation, especially when storing in tropical or humid climates, such as in a Miami or San Diego self storage unit.

Cedar blocks are a great, all natural way to deter moths. These will offer protection for your clothes without the lingering smell of moth balls or other chemical pest control items.

When using hangers, use non-metallic hangers that wont rust. Cover all hangers with washed, non-bleached muslin fabric so the clothing has no direct contact with the hanger.

Be specific when labeling storage containers. Include the item type, the date it was stored, and any other important information particular to the clothing being stored.

Use a dehumidifier such as silica gel, (the same thing that comes with some food or medication containers) to prevent mold or mildew from forming.

Each individual item should be separated by a sheet of acid free tissue paper. This will help to maintain the integrity of each item and prevent mildew or dye transfer between garments.

Store fabrics with as few folds and creases as possible. Acid free tissue paper should be placed in between creases to prevent fiber breakage on fold lines.
