In different religions there are often modesty rules. What is the purpose of these rules? To prevent lust? To preserve something for one's spouse? To prevent promiscuity? Or all of them? Or none of them?
I haven't looked into this enough in my own religion, so I place this question to everyone: What are the modesty rules in your religion (for both men and women)? What is the purpose of them?
In particular, I'm looking for rules about clothing, rather than behavior.

Islam has a lot of interesting things to say about modesty, but I don't feel comfortable talking on the behalf of a religion I'm not practicing and am still studying. (I really wish I knew some Muslim Gaians who like to talk theology...)

Let's not fight, now.
I will compound the question, and ask, on behalf of Judeo-Christian faith, why exactly the creation myth specifically mentions that Adam and Eve were embarrassed by their nudity. If they were physically comfortable, and there was no inclement weather, they had no reason to be embarrassed.
I've been trying to figure this out for about a decade. I figure if I remove the main support, it's all over.

1 Timothy 2:9 says that women should dress modestly and not adorn themselves.
I Corinthians 11:13-16 states that women shall grow their hair long rather than wear a veil to cover themselves
1 Peter 3:3 says that wives shouldn't adorn themselves
Deuteronomy 22:5 says that women shouldn't wear pants and men shouldn't wear dresses or skirts
Isaiah 3:16-23 God will destroy women who wear ornament
And I'm sure there are others, these are just the ones I've Googled on short notice. I'm not Christian, but this was the easiest to go with razz . This is why Pentacostal, Mennonite, and conservative Quaker women wear long skirts, long hair, and little to no makeup and jewelry.

Those verses are busted and by that I mean, I do not agree with them, whats wrong with women adorning themselves?

Up until we developed some sort of religion, no creature ever wore clothing, or tried to cover up anything.
