There has always been heated arguments among Christians and Christian denominations as regards the position of the Bible on wearing of trousers by women. I also had been conflicted about this at certain stages of my development as a Christian but after thorough and thoughtful examination of this matter, I came to a conclusion and I will outline my own argument on this issue with this thread.

Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV)
The 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 thy God.


This Bible passage above is where the entire controversy over appropriateness of Christian women wearing trousers or not emanate from

1. Note that it made not specifically talking about women wearing trousers, it does not even mention the word trouser as it wasn't even in existence then. It was talking about what we call Cross-dressing today so the question is should women wearing trousers today be seen as an example of cross dressing?

Trousers were not our clothing in this part of the world, it was a dressing we borrowed from western culture so if we are to determine if it is male or female clothing or not, we need to look to those that own the culture. From my research, the earliest appearance of trousers in human history were in Asia and much later in Europe and much of what we call the western world today.

The question is did women wear trousers in Asia and the western world or was it only for men? The truth is their women wore trousers and it is not a modern thing, they had been wearing trousers long before Christianity came to Nigeria. If Among the people that invented this trousers, women wear trousers, how did Africans who borrowed the culture come to conclude that it is only a man's wear? There are lots of evidence in historical arts that women wore trousers as far back as even before Jesus came.

2. Deuteronomy 22 is a Chapter with 30 verses all giving commandments to be obeyed by the Israelites in those days. They include commandments like,

Verse 9: Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.

Verse 11: Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

Verse 12: Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear e.t.c

The chapter even advocates for the stoning to death of a woman found not to be a virgin on her wedding night. So my question is why do some Christians zero in on only verse five and try to condemn people with it? Why not advocate for the implementation of the entire commandments in that chapter of the Bible? After all, Jesus said if you fail in one, you have failed in all.

My advice to Christians is that Jesus came and became a fulfillment of the law, in other words, he fulfilled all the requirements of the law and introduced an era of grace where it is faith in Him and not observance of the law that brings salvation. It is a deception by the enemy to make us believe that after receiving salvation by grace through faith in Christ, we need to maintain that salvation by trying to observe all old testament laws and commandments.

trousers is a modern say clothing ooo..

in those days...men wore "skirts" and "gowns"

that passage simply means...

a woman shouldn't wear what she knows is for a man...

eg wearing her dads clothes....

and not in the general sense

Trousers provide more convering than skirts in my opinion. If you think the mere act of wearing trouser makes it sinful then you're wrong , cos if our weather were to be going below 0degree like in some countries you wouldn't be here asking that question. Think about culture and other factors. But still have it in mind that even food can lead you to sin. Leave God to Judge

Does Deuteronomy 22:5 forbid women from wearing pants? No, it doesn’t. In fact, clothing “that pertains to a man” at the time the verse was written would not have been understood to mean pants. Men in the Middle East through the history of the Old and New Testaments did not ordinarily wear pants, trousers or slacks; they wore robe-like garments. And in many cultures such as in China, women have commonly worn pants. The scripture more specifically addresses and forbids transvestism and cross-dressing.
The underlying principle certainly applies to today. Men should dress in an appropriately masculine manner and women should dress in an appropriately feminine manner. Clothing manufacturers make pants designed for men, and pants, slacks and pantsuits designed for women. The Bible emphasizes modesty, and for women, slacks are often more modest than a short skirt.
God does not intend for this scripture to be understood in an extreme or unreasonable way.

Re: Is It A Sin For Women To Wear Trousers? by emmyhumble(m): 9:07am On Feb 17, 2019
lets assume is a sin okay? but let me ask this simple question; i believe there are trousers made for both male and female,
so what is usually the first thing that comes to your mind when you see a guy putting on a very skinny feminine trouser? am sure u'd said this dude is putting on a female trouser? so why is it now a sin for a female to wear a trouser u just called a female trouser?

in the days of Christ what was rampant is even garment and not all these trousers we are talking about today. and even why is no one complaining about t shirt because both gender are wearing it.

lastly as anyone ever imagine what it would have been like today when fashion came or rather when we copied fashion from the white and the white introduced skirt to us as men dress and trouser of any kind as a ladies dress? what would have been the debate today about what to wear or not? is high time people start using their head fa.

Trousers was never a male clothing, just like skirts is never an exclusive for women. Go research on history.

To be honest ... I stopped wearing trousers a while ago including jewelry but recently I discovered God is not against any of these, what matters most is for you to dress decently in a way that people can see Christ in you.
While thinking about this, I saw two obviously married women walked past me, one was putting on a very tight leggings that gave her back shape a disgusting sight and one that men wouldn't get their eyes off not because they find her attractive as it seemed like she was walking naked.
Dress decently, don't wear leggings without a long top... Jeans are okay, don't wear those crazy cuts, wear something simple and modest... Simplicity is class.

U know, Jesus and people of that time never wore trousers.
They wore the same thing women wear back then,robes.

So how come men wear trousers now and see nothing wrong with it?


Religious bondage producing barren minds everywhere.
Just look at a question an adult asked.

A 10yrs old kid in a developed country will laugh at the stupidity of this question and educate you on the evolution of clothing in this world.

Research or not, but trousers is now considered a man's cloth and skirt and blouse for women so it's better for a Christian to safely abide with it

Wearing trousers has nothing to do with sin


Biologically, the woman's body is an open system and as such, its advised she wears clothes that will aerate her body cuz down there has to breathe! But what do we have now, ladies wear pants together with tight shorts and jeans together and walk under a hot weather. This is the main cause of smelly vagina.

It's not.

Trousers were made for both men and women.

What baffles me is how someone is still asking this kind of question, when were you born?

It's not a Matter of When you were born! Or how old are u!

Trousers is not a Female Attire.. it's For the Male folks..

GOD IS Not an Author of Confusion!

A Lady who puts on Trousers and wants to pee will have to Expose her unclothedness.. Whereas the Woman with a skirt or Gown will not have to do dt!

Is der Anything like Male Skirt or Male Blouse...

I'm sure that is not what the Bible is referring to.

The reference there is condemning the actions of cross-dressers.

There are trousers that are cut to suit the female. If a man were to wear such a trouser then that passage would be referring to him.

There are shirts/blouses meant for women only. If a man were to wear that, then he would qualify.

When your wife throws on your shirt while doing Saturday morning chores, is that a sin?
