Why Clothing?

To all those people out there who like fashion and clothes
...
I don't know why but especially girls that I'm not courageous enough to tell them about this...
Sometimes I wonder if girls notice if parts of their body is being exposed in a very explicit and revealing way. Do we think about how the article of clothing is cut and sown together? Do we see what the article of clothing is than what it is "called" or "seen"? For example, low collar shirts. Questions that should come to mind are: What do they reveal? How low is "low"? Is our mind process of wearing a specific style of clothing because of what others wear? Does this affect what we think about our bodies? Do we think that we look "good" in low collar shirts because others look very attractive in low collar shirts?

Doesn't God tell us:
"Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."
(Romans 12:2)

We should ask ourselves:
"How am I bringing glory to God or keeping God's glory by wearing this shirt?"

Well...guys have this problem too but it is more about the "words" and "messages" they allow themselves to wear on their body than the style of the article of clothing.
Actually, to counter my thought above, guys need to watch what they wear too. I don't believe that they should be wearing muscle shirts. (I personally think that it looks extremely unattractive) It is calling others to be attracted to your body instead of your soul and spirit.
I know they talk a lot about this in Proverbs but I don't remember the passages...
