The simple requirement that everyone must dress modestly. The objective of mandated modesty is to assimilate the culture with traditionalist ideals. The way the masses dress can often be reflective of the state of the culture... in today's age, the typical American will wear sweatpants, graphic t-shirts, 3XL shirts, revealing clothing, awful looking shoes, and so on... These examples serve as a representation of a society that is lazy, depressed, overweight, promiscuous, obsessed with consuming, and ultimately without a purpose- the antithesis of excellence. This idea is similar to the "broken window theory" regarding that the appearance of the surrounding environments can influence the behaviors of those within that environment. In essence, people will act in accordance with the beauty -or lack of- in their environment. The low-IQ explanation: Requiring people to "fake it until they become it" to improve the culture.
