I wear an old dress or skirt and blouse, suitably long and sturdy, for mucking out stalls, changing oil, haying, painting, roofing, all manner of work. The only time I wear "pants" is leggings for warmth under a long dress or skirt. As far as "shirts" no real man would be caught dead in mine. They're clearly styled or of a print for a woman. Men's and women's jackets, coats shirts are buttoned from different sides. The only thing I might wear of men's apparel may be barn boots or work boots! Pastel shades end up very grungy! Traditional sisters could be accused of wearing unisex shoes! I sometimes do get a man's shoe because I have wide feet and cannot tolerate heels. I need a flat shoe or I can barely walk due to knee pain and cramps in my calves. The question is what exactly "pertains to a man or woman"? Clearly, garments designed for gender-specific parts of the anatomy are to be worn by the corresponding gender. In Jesus' day, men wore robes. Why not today? Like it or not, a lot of how we interpret this verse is culturally based. Any more thoughts?
