The Truth About The Duggars' Dress Code

The kids from "19 Kids & Counting" have changed since the show first aired. More than half of the Duggar children are adults now, and most of the grown kids have gotten married and started families of their own. As they have carved out their independent lives, some have opted to move away from the restrictive dress code they followed as children. Among them is Jinger Duggar Vuolo, the sixth of the 19 and the fourth daughter. Married to pro soccer player-turned-minister Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger kept to a skirt-and-dress wardrobe early in their marriage. As she and Jeremy began studying the Bible together, her views slowly changed. 

As she describes in the book "The Hope We Hold," a book she and Jeremy published in 2021 (via People), Jinger discovered that there were no passages in the Bible that specifically forbade women from wearing pants. "[I] realized that biblical modesty is deeper and more profound than wearing skirts instead of pants," she wrote. She asked Jeremy for his opinion, and he encouraged her to follow her "true desire to understand what the Bible said and do exactly that."

Thus reassured, Jinger has since rocked not only pantsuits like the one pictured here, but also jeans, shorts, and even tank tops. The Vuolos' daughters, Felicity and Evangeline Jo, have been spotted in pants as well. For this family, faith is more than outward appearances.
