Violet - there is a bad translation contained in the King James Version in Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV) and this one verse is what some denominations 'cling' to, to keep women 'in their place'. This has absolutely nothing to do with clothing, but as translated from the original Hebrew Language Manuscripts, it concerns the same sexual acts as described in Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) and in Leviticus 20:13 (KJV) as well as some references in 1 Timothy 1:10 (KJV), Romans 1:26-27 (KJV) and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV).
Some denomitations have used the incorrect KJV translation to surpress the stature of women within their 'churches' and that is just plain wrong.

Even though it does not apply literally, remember - in the days when Leviticus and Deuteronomy were written - what did men wear? "Skirts" !

Wear whatever you please because there is nothing in scripture as told in the Original Manuscripts from which the King James Version was translated, that limits "garments"... only the sexual orientation as listed above in the quoted verses.
