Is it proper for a Christian to be sexy?

Answer:

The Oxford Dictionary defines "sexy" as "sexually attractive or exciting" when applied to others or "sexually aroused" when applied to yourself. Therefore, by definition, "sexy" is referring to sexual lust.

"Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness" (I Timothy 2:9-10).

The Greek word for "proper clothing" is kosmious, which means orderly, well-arranged, seemly, or modest. In other words, it refers to clothing that is neat and appropriate for the occasion. The Greek word translated as  "modestly" is aidos, which means having a sense of shame, modesty, and reverence. This is a person who can blush when faced with things that are irreverent or immodest. The Greek word for "discretely" is sophrosuna. This person is of sound mind, has self-control and good judgment, and is moderate in all she does.

While Paul is addressing women, the concepts should also apply to men. A Christian is to be humble, so dressing to show off their wealth or to gain the admiration of others would be wrong. Nor should a person should not dress to arouse sexual desire in other people. While it is true that some will lust regardless of how a person dresses, it isn't proper for a Christian to encourage lustful thoughts in other people.
