kland,
Do you see it as my business to be the arbiter of what a woman should and should not wear? Why would you be asking me what they should wear?
Oh I don't know. Could it be that YOU were saying men needed to wear suspenders? Sure couldn't. Glad we can clear that one up. It wasn't me. Blessings, Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

I don't have anything against suspenders, its just I've always worn belts and never knew there could be a problem.

Should women in the United States wear only dresses whether it be in church or at the office or gardening or hiking through the woods? So what if a woman wanted to do some gardening or hike through the woods with her companions? Is the dress convenient? Of course it is! If it is inconvenient for her then she should not do any of those things at all. God told Moses, "Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it." Exod. 20:26. The principle is that unwanted exposure or danger should temper desire for adventure. Are you afraid of heights? Don't volunteer to cross the Niagara Falls on a rope. However, having said that, God provided mitigating guidance for inadvertent exposure. He said, "And you shall make for them linen trousers to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the waist to the thighs." Exod. 28:42 The "trousers" or undergarment was meant to hold fast firmly around the body much as they do today and commonsense dictates. There were no suspenders. So then, as a general rule, cover your nakedness and do not place yourself in positions of potential exposure. And see that a man wears manly stuff and a woman, what is womanly; for it is written, "A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God." Deut. 22:5 What do you think of a dog humping a fire hydrant? ///

Good point! Those who wear suspenders are in direct violation of the Bible, an abomination!

So what is manly stuff and what is womanly stuff? Is it what the current culture decides by popular choice?
Otherwise, is a robe manly or womanly? Such as the Israelites' clothing?

Kland, I go with the cultural angle. Topless is modest in certain tribes around the world and forbidden elsewhere.
