Brandt Russo is a big hero of mine. He's a Christian author/speaker/theologian and he looks like this;
By the way, in the second picture, he's not wearing a 'free weezy' T-shirt but, the spoof that his T-shirt company sells.
So, ya, Christians should look like any other person. (except, maybe with a few more tats
) I'm not going to say it's wrong to only wear long pants and dresses but, it seems very religious to me. If anything, I would think it'd be a hindrance to your witness.

It tells us that culture changed- the very culture to which we are called to preach the gospel.

If we allow shorts, just how short do we let them get? A lot of womens shorts are not much more than underwear. And the short sleeves. If you let that happen, they start getting shorter, and shorter, and then pretty soon you have no sleeves. Then the women will start wearing lower, lower necks. Pretty soon you have a essentially topless outfit on. And yes, that is a little over-the-top perhaps, but it's simply to explain why we set the boundaries where we do.
But, aren't you just drawing the line in a different place? (at the wrists, ankles and neck) Why not wear gloves all the time?
