What The Bible says about 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

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, 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

God will punish those who wear strange clothes.

I will punish ... all such as are clothed with strange apparel. Zephaniah 1:8
