It's a massive bone of contention among various denominations. No one has been able to give a satisfactory explanation to this issue.

Do you attend a trouser-wearing church?
Are they proper for Christian ladies?


Let's hear your opinion with scriptural backings.

The reason why I said that women should not wear trousers is that we read “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 22:5). 
there is no reason provided for this rule, but it occurs within a series of rules about public behaviour and respect for others, so it is probably a rule against breaking down accepted sexual barriers to the detriment of social attitudes about purity and respect between men and women. This is certainly a biblical principle.

In the New Testament, Paul writes that...women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. (1 Timothy 2:9-10).

The biblical principle is that, in whatever culture we may live, we should observe high standards of public decency and especially keep our dress standards free from any overt and tempting sexual message.
the Bible is direct when it come to things like this

Thank you for your input, sir! Do you mind checking this message from Joshua Selman? He could be making some sense:

The Bible is clear on that!
Deuteronomy 22:5
Revelation 21:27

We all know what is Men's Clothing!
We all Know what is Women Clothing!

We Live in a Generation where we love to DECIEVE ourselves, Modify the Truth and Give Reasons for what we wanna do..

GOD is Almighty! HE is not a Man! No Man/ Woman Can DECIEVE Him. HE is Coming!He will Judge according to our Works..

Revelation 22:11-12
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

But, was trouser originally meant for men? Is it also proper for a man to wear a blouse? Since the Bible didn't mention specific clothes for male or female.

Who defined the wears? How do we prove that trouser is an exclusively male wear?

The first recorded reports of trousers were made by sixth century BC Greek geographers. They noted the appearance of Persian, Eastern and Central Asian horse riders. The comfort they provided from extended periods on horseback made trousers a practical choice.

Images of male and female horse riders wearing trousers can be found on ancient ceramics. You can see an example of this on the vase to the left, depicting an Amazon woman. - A brief history of trousers.

An amazon is a big, strong, warrior-like woman, someone who reminds you of the mythical Greek women-warriors. Those are the defence, Amazons? Funny. It actually backfires

From your link, it clearly showed that trousers belong to the masculine gender. A few quotes.

"Despite being worn by both sexes in ancient times, trousers were a “masculine” garment for hundreds of years. Instead, women wore long, voluminous skirts.

But, in the nineteenth century, women started wearing a form of trousers again. These were worn only for horse riding, although they wore full skirts on top of them to keep them hidden.

By the 1880s, women in the West finally started wearing trousers for leisure activities. They were safer to wear when cycling, as the trousers were far less likely to get caught in the wheels. They also allowed greater freedom of movement. Additionally, they were considered healthier to wear than the cumbersome skirts they usually wore.

Yet, despite their increasing popularity, trousers weren’t considered acceptable women’s attire until the 1970s."


BTW, trousers were worn in the Bible far before your link dates.

Exactly. Anyway one looks at it, it backfires on the argument for trousers. Even the preacher in the youtube video described the word "man" as soldier. So if they are saying trousers was soldiers clothing, then the woman still should not wear soldiers clothing, Amazon or Alibaba.

Exodus 20:26, the priest must not climb up on the stone altar, lest his unclothedness be exposed in so doing.

From above verse, it shows how skirts/gown can show one's unclothedness. It's unfortunate that some parents would buy bicycles for their teenage daughters and no trousers for them to wear when riding.

I witnessed few incidents, she will ride, pulls skirt, ride pulls skirt.




Some men still tie wrappers in Nigeria. Trouser should not be a debate in Nigeria. If Nigeria women should not wear trousers, then Nigerian men should not wear trousers too. Trouser is not our tradition.



Ancient Roman soldiers and Egyptian soldiers wore skirts to fight during wars.



Deuteronomy 22:5 was actually talking about people like Bobrisky.

It was also a prohibition against cross-dressing and
transvestitism.

The question is whether trousers were designed originally for men or women. They were originally unisex garments. Period.

It is very simple. Trousers were designed for comfort during horseback riding, right? For centuries, mostly men went to war while women stayed at home nuturing their offspring so women preferred to wear feminine flowing clothing. Today, both men and women go to war and horses are hardly used as means of transport. Women are however far more active and mobile than before moving long distance to work then come back home to do other activities, They will require clothing that makes them move freely with comfort. Trousers do that.

For me, as long as trousers are not too form fitting (this applies all clothing) and a woman cannot be mistaken for a man and vice versa, there is nothing wrong with them. Let every man work out his own salvation.
