When Suits Become a Stumbling Block ...

There has been a lot of talking, debating, and hand-wringing among Christian bloggers lately about modesty; particularly yoga pants, making men uncomfortable by being attractive, and in general, ways in which to combat everyone’s favorite “evil”: lust.

Well, I’d like to hop on the modesty bandwagon and discuss something that I have personally struggled with for many, many years.

(deep breath)

Suits.

Specifically, men in suits.

I want to be brutally honest about this struggle. As young-ish, heterosexual woman who is trying to keep her thoughts pure and her eyes on Jesus, I have to say…every day, EVERY DAY, is a battle.

He looks very nice indeed.

Nothing is sexier than seeing my guy in a suit, especially when he buttons and unbuttons his jacket as he stands and sits. Very difficult to avoid the near occasion of sin when that happens!

The same goes for men in athletic wear.

I had no idea my very elderly parents were trendsetters, they have been wearing sweatpants in public for the last twenty years.
