Day by Day with St. John Baptist de La Salle November 9th The Latest Fashions Fashion is what people call the style in which clothes are made at a given time. Since the human spirit is prone to change, and the things that pleased us yesterday no longer do so today, there have been invented, and there are still being invented every day, all sorts of different ways of dressing to satisfy the changing spirit. Those who would want to dress as people did thirty years ago would make themselves look ridiculous and eccentric. It is, however, characteristic of the conduct of people of good judgement never to attract attention to themselves in any way. The way to set limits on fashion in clothing is to submit and reduce style to a matter of modesty. This ought to be the rule of conduct for the Christian in everything that concerns external appearance. To be modestly dressed, you should not have any appearance of luxury or vanity. You will show by the modesty of your clothing the wisdom and simplicity of your soul. (Christian Politeness) Your beauty should consist of your true inner self, the ageless beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of the greatest value in God’s sight. (1 Pet 3:4)
