Earthy Style is all about modest, comfortable clothing. For me it’s not a religious thing, but why do I dress modestly?
1. Dressing modestly is comfortable. I never have to worry about awkwardness with skin exposure, or my underwear showing, and my clothes don’t hurt me or pinch me.
2. It has increased my safety. I am a very curvy woman, very large round behind, so get lots of unwanted male attention just because of that. By dressing modestly I can ‘hide’ my bootah somewhat; at least it’s not as in your face as with form-fitting clothing. If someone is intent on attacking you, clothing doesn’t help, BUT dressing modestly really does significantly reduce cat-calling, being followed, being stared at, and just the general sexual harassment women get.
3. Along with that, dressing modestly sends a signal. It’s a social/cultural cue that you require privacy of the body and people tend to respect that. It shouldn’t make any difference, but it does. In my personal experience and in my observations, women are simply treated better when dressed modestly; people are more respectful towards you.
