Modesty is an attitude of humility and decency that is deeply rooted in religious and cultural traditions. In many faiths, including Christianity, modesty is seen as an essential aspect of spiritual life, reflecting a person's commitment to humility, purity, and reverence for God. It is expressed not only through dress and behaviour, but also in speech, thought, and attitudes. However, in the modern world, where fashion and personal expressions hold a significant place in society, the concept of modesty has become a topic of growing concern and debate. Some argue that the pursuit of individuality and self-expression through fashion can often conflict with traditional religious values of modesty and propriety.
