The clothing that a man or woman should wear seems to be something people think is not taught in the bible. The first thing I want to remind you is that the word law in the bible can mean “teaching”, which puts things in a better perspective.
The fact is without reference to the laws (teachings) in the whole of the bible particularly the so called ‘old testament’, there is no way to know what God expects of us in terms of the clothing a man or woman should be wearing.
As true followers of the laws of God the way they were intended to be used it is clear that there is a requirement interms of the clothing that men and woman should wear. Ironically it was not until the 1960′s with the womens liberation movement that women began to wear “trousers”, as believers we know that we wrestle against the spirituall prinicpalities in high places,
Ephesians 6:12-15
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
…and this was certainly something sanction by the highest worldly and spiritual body the Governement.
After the 1960′s we see the rise of women wearing trousers and the blurring of the lies interms of what men and women should wear, and also how they should present them selves.
Looking at the laws on bible clothing it is evident that laws were given about clothes to be worn
Deuteronomy 22:5
5The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD (YHWH) thy God (Elohim).
This law clearly says that men, were not to wear womens clothes and vice versa, so any attempt we see of this happening is in definite contravention to the heart and teachings of God.
Reasons for not cross, dressing is clearly because God created (wo)man, to keep the order that he established. It is also clear that wearing the clothes of the opposite gender, will have an effect, on the wearers overall behaviour.
Here are some pictures showing the blurring of the lines in the clothes being worn by men and women.

If you look at the woman with the leggings and dress, you can see what an actually women should be aiming for, rather than showing off all of her assets by wearing tight pants. You can also see a man that looks like he could be a women, or vice versa.
If we look at the writings of Paul, he gives an in-depth understanding understanding of what the Spirit of God is. When he explains the fruits of the Spirit and of the flesh we see a good reason why men and women should stay in their own clothes.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
We see here that effeminate behavior is not acceptable to God, which is an actor of a man behaving as a woman would. History also shows that there has been a western view which has been encouraging men to “get in touch with their feminine side”, this is clearly a train of thought that God opposes and is clearly something Satan has been using to oppose God together with the feminist movement, which is also an agenda created by the Devil.
*NOTE* Cooking, cleaning, being tidy and presentable as a man are not
feminine attributes, effeminate behaviour relates more to a spiritual vibration, and violation of the Most High’s dress codes
A man is not permitted to be over groomed, though as can be seen in Leviticus
Leviticus 19:27
27Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
To not round the ‘corners of you heads’, means that men are not supposed to have completely bald heads, which is something that has become one of the latest fashion trends today. Also a man should leave some hair on his face, as a beard and Mustache are symbol of maturity, it is not supposed to be completely shaved of either.
Here are some pictures of well know people, promoting effeminate behaviour, all of these people have the ability to REPENT (change)

George Clooney can be compared to his picture beside the president, one where he looks masculine with a beard and and one effeminate, without the beard.
Also John Travolta’s beard is what is consider to ‘mar’ the corners of a beard, and shaping it in a way that is unnatural to he beards normal growth pattern.
*NOTE* It seems that today a mans masculinity comes from how big his biceps are, even though he has shaved all his facial hair and hair on his head. be aware that the size of a mans biceps has nothing to do with masculinity.
If we look at the feminist movement we see that it is nothing more than a smoke screen that was used by government to get more money from both the man and the women.
And has know been marketed to suggest that men were natural against the woman and were very misogynistic, before this movement. when in fact is a smoke screen which has allow women to have imput, in certain matters that they really shouldn’t have any input in at all.
For example telling a man how he should behave in order to please a woman. When the truth is a woman is supposed to be a mans helper, once they are in a relationship, not an outward adviser trying to mould a man into what she wants him to be.
The scriptures explain the fight Satan more clearly:
Ephesians 6:12
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; As we see to counter such behaviour we are to follow the, truth (the laws of God)
So If we keep all of this in mind when we are partaking in a our walk with YHWH and his son, we have hop of entering his kingdom.
I hope that this has helped you get a greater understanding abou how you should be presenting your self as disciples of YHWH and his Son, whether you are a male or female.
Shalom
