Quote from: MrsJohnson

Our priest, who is quite strict about modesty, has spoken from the pulpit about modesty on quite a few occasions.  He said he finds it edifying to see women wear a tee shirt underneath a dress or shirt that doesn't meet the modesty standards by itself.  So in this case, it is more of an "underwear" type of garment.  

In the book, "Dressing With Dignity", Colleen Hammond discourages tee shirts with wording on them.  It may not be outright immodest, leading others to sin, but it goes against the feminine nature of not trying to advertise, draw attention to oneself.  Also, with certain prints, one may ask where does the print on the shirt lead the eye?  I don't have the book in front of me, but she gives several standards for determining if a shirt is properly modest in the way it fits.

T-shirts with wording on them is different, and especially if they're form fitting. The T-shirts I'm talking about and the pictures I linked do not fit that description.

Yes, that is different.  The original poster had referred to a "team shirt" of sorts with writing on it.  She said someone had told her that those shirts can make women into "walking billboards".  This is what I was referring to.    I also think there is a difference between a team shirt and a shirt with PINK or Areopastale written on the front.  I don't think all tee shirts are immodest.  The way they fit, the fabric they are made of makes all the difference.

Lol gimli.   I drive for public transit.  I won't lie, it's hard sometimes. I'm convinced it's reducing my time in purgatory.

Excuse me!

when I was asking the question I was meaning the kind of T-shirt that has logos on it, and when you bend forward you cant see down the neck.  If I knew how to post a picture I would but unfortunatly.............I cant.

My mistake.  I only have enough time to skim these threads and I mentally combined your posts about the logo and youth sporting events.  I am usually busy doing this  :baby:

Now back to my real life  :)

Is that burlap?

Well, men should not wear t-shirt either. I do it sometimes under a sleepover or so and I feel that I should go to a booth and confess my sin. :cry:

But since I became a Tradcat I stopped wearing jeans! Jeans is the uniform of infantilized liberals! And let me not start on the horrible modern sloppy phenomena on  wearing sneakers in public when you do not do sporting activities...yuck  :really-mad2:
 Mea Culpa for changing the topic by talking men wear when the thread was about women and t-shirt, but Oh Lord how the modern sloppy way of dressing in public irritates me. We do not need to dress up like Victorian aristocrats 24/7 ( I would love to though but my wallet do not allow it for the time being) but sometimes you see on the way people dress that there morality is on the same level as a chimpanzee or a Marxist. Which is the same in my book, but I think I respect the chimpanzee more. That might be a sin but the animal kingdom got sometimes more  dignity and integrity than modern fallen man, in my book. Mea Culpa for the cynicism. But I traveled with public transport today. A demonic experience I must say. That's way Im a little bit cranky this evening.

Good for you!

I wear sneakers but I wish I could wear other shoes, they look tacky with my dress.

In the most respectful way possible I have to say men always notice women who take the time to look feminine. The trick for us, is to not cross that line between crude and respectful. That's where we appreciate women doing there part.

In  my world, jeans are work pants for people who do actual, physical labor.  There is nothing liberal about them.  Or conservative, for that matter,  Or ideological at all.  The need of many on this forum to turn clothes that are both practical and modest into clubs  to hit their fellow Catholics with is astonishing.  There is nothing more significant to talk about?

Considering jeans. Please understand that I write out from a Scandinavian perspective. We don´t have cowboys and ranches here. When jeans came to Scandinavia it was an American modern fashion that stood for revolt against parents, authority and also an embracing of modern way of life. I still think to this day that jeans can be a sign of disrespect. It is to casual for my taste.

An considering political ideologies. I was a little bit ironic. I hope that is allowed amongst traditional Catholics. :sign-surrender:
