Best Answer

They feel that the simpler their lives are and the more in touch they are with God and nature, the better. Modern, materialistic, and prideful activities and possessions do not appeal to their way of life so they don't use anything gaudy in their attire. In fact, they stay clear of using buttons and zippers and usually use pins or hidden clasps on their clothing. The simple, solid colors also reflect their desire to keep the focus on what truly matters in life, which to them is definitely not how fashion-forward their clothing is.
