    Their simple clothing style choice allows the audience to gear the focus on their talent. In fact, their vocal talent spoke for itself, rather than distracting the audience with any excessive clothing/accessories. As displayed in this particular video, The Davis Sisters’ clothing decision of just wearing simply designed traditional black matching blouses and skirts reflected their Holiness background. This allows the watchers to focus on their voices and the emotionality that they presented to the audience. Some may say that their fashion adds to their hardcore gospel, however, for the most part, their clothing choice did not majorly add nor take away anything to the performance itself, as their powerful emotionality and hard vocal talent was the central highlighted aspect in their group.

    Men get to wear whatever they want on the streets and rarely being catcalled or such but once a woman gets to wear what she wants to wear, she receives weird stares from strangers around her. In our society, people usually divide girls into two types, the conservative one and the malandi one as of what they wear. I will use this two types of woman as an insight to the freedom of what we wear according to two philosophers, E.B Skinner and Jean-Paul Sartre. In a scenario of two women who wore shorts were walking down the street and were both catcalled by men in the past and later on, the first woman, X, starts to wear conservative clothes while, the second woman, Y, still wears the same style. Jean-Paul Sartre defines freedom as man is so free, so indeterminate, and man has no history.

This type of mentality can be seen in the rape culture in the United States, in which the victim is often blamed with the reasoning being her clothing was too revealing. Creating this outlook that clothing has a certain connotation often promotes the mentality that girls should be restricted to the type of clothes they wear. This culture allows for women to have restrictions on what they wear due to what it might suggest to others.

Making the choice to wear a one piece swimsuit when all of your friends have on bikinis or deciding not to wear a low cut tank top you thought was really cute is a step in the right direction. Step back and think about what morals you have and make choices for yourself on how you want God and the people around you to see you. Modesty is not only about the way you dress, but the way you act. For a girl to present herself with modesty, it is vital to have self respect.
