"It is because our sexuality is a gift from God that it must be protected with God’s own guidelines.
This is precisely why modesty is important.
We veil our sexuality behind modest attire and behavior, not because our sexuality is ugly but because it is beautiful.
-Robin Phillips, The Way of a Man With a Maid, pg.146

Jill,
This is a good reminder of the beauty of our gifts from God. One could assume this only refers to women, but men must be included also.
I regretfully see tight, skinny jeans on men nowadays. Men who are running for exercise are shirtless. Although not as provocative as the painted on yoga pants and underwear look on women, men need to practice modesty, too. I don’t intend to be preachy, but it seems like young mothers have neglected, in large part, to teach their children to dress appropriately. Fathers in particular could help with having a more critical eye for dress before the kids leave the house. Just my opinion.

Yes, Kathryn, thank you for your opinion. We do tend to only think of females concerning modesty, but men should also be included.
A whole hearted "Yes" to fathers becoming rightly engaged with their children concerning modesty and the rest of real life and their children!
