1. SOME SEDUCTIVE TOOLS
It is an established fact that some things can trigger sexual desire especially among youths. David committed adultery because he saw the nakedness of Beersheba while she was bating (2Samuel 11:1-4). Sexual lust is induced when people who are promiscuous use nakedness to Lure careless ones to an unwholesome desires (Proverbs 7:10-13). This is the same as using pornographic films, magazines or dresses to display acts and images which make people sexually excited (Job 31:1). Some other tools that could be adopted for sexual seduction include fragrance, dance, body language, voice tone, etc (Proverbs 7:12-15). A true Christian must desist from all such things. (1Thessalonians 5:22). It is a terrible offence before God to desire to see other people’s nakedness (Matthew 5:28). Only insane people walk the street naked without any feeling of shame because they’re understanding is a darkened (Ephesians 4:18).

Some dresses that are only good for bedroom some not the one on the streets. commercial sex workers and known with certain dressing style to boost their trade. Christian youths should not take to such forms of dressing in the name of modernization (Proverbs 7:10).

Therefore, your dressing must not induce unrighteous thoughts in orders (1Corinthians 14:40Romans 14:21). There is a two-fold responsibility on dressing the man is responsible to guide his eyes from impurity (Philippians 4:8 Job 31:1); The woman is responsible to dress decently and avoid exposing sensitive parts of the body (Proverbs 7:6-272Samuel 11:2). This principle is also applicable in the reverse order. 

CONCLUSION: Any form of dressing likely to excite people sexually should not be worn by a Christian youth especially in public places (Philippians 4:51Corinthians 8:13).
