I would like to take the Camino del Santiago some day. I personally think that on pilgrimage most important thing is being modest. Being casual doesn't matter; you cannot walk 700 kilometers in pretty dresses.
Well, in the 1930s they appear to have managed to be both modest and formal and walk in long dresses. Men, too, survived without donning on shorts. Our society is simply flippant about everything, religion included. One could argue that pajamas are modest to wear in public, after all, they do cover your body. Imo, there is more to modesty than just covering body parts.
