"And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's
children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel."
- Zephaniah 1:8

Numbers 15:38-40
[38] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
[39] And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

Christ Kept the Law & Wore FRINGES!!!
Matthew 9:20
[20] And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the HEM of His Garment
*The word HEM comes from the Greek word "Kraspedon" which Means A FRINGE or TASSEL. (STRONG’S # G2899)

Wearing Fringes is NOT gender specific… "SPEAK unto the Children of Israel" is a term which could apply to both men and women (Exodus 14:22, Leviticus 11:1-2).

Wearing "Fringes and a Ribband of Blue" in the borders of our garments is NOT An Option! This is what we are Commanded to do... THROUGHOUT OUR GENERATIONS! This is the Dress-Code given to us by The Most High.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible: The Law of Fringes on Garment
“The people are ordered by the Lord to make fringes on the borders of their garments. The Jews were distinguished from their neighbours in their dress, as well as in their diet, and thus taught not to be conformed to the way of the heathen in other things. They proclaimed themselves Jews wherever they were, as not ashamed of God and his law. The fringes were not appointed for trimming and adorning their clothes, but to stir up their minds by way of remembrance, if they were tempted to sin, the fringe would warn them not to break God's commandments. We should use every means of refreshing our memories with the truths and precepts of God's word, to strengthen and quicken our obedience, and arm our minds against temptation. Be holy unto your God; cleansed from sin, and sincerely devoted to his service; and that great reason for all the commandments is again and again repeated”

BEARD [Zondervan's Bible Dictionary]:
A BADGE OF MANLY DIGNITY. As a sign of mourning, it was the custom to pluck it out or cut it off. THE ISRAELITES WERE FORBIDDEN TO SHAVE OFF THEIR BEARDS, probably BECAUSE IT WAS REGARDED AS A HEATHENISH SIGN (Lev. 19:27, 21:5)
