Most Mennonites dress in very simple clothing -some with no patterns or bright colors- to avoid drawing attention to themselves in an act of humility and also in obedience to the directions in the Bible ,for example in 1 Peter3:3-4.as a symbolic and usually genuine desire to mark the difference between living for God & the way people naturally want to go - ie,following fashion trends etc.
Not all Mennonites have a particular dress style now,with only the conservative groups still adhering to modest dress styles,which cover the body,as a gesture of respect for others,and as a response to the Biblical principles of covering the body(1 Timothy & many references through both Old & New Testaments.

Conservative Amish and Mennonite women wear an outer bonnet (usually black) in obedience to the Biblical commands given in 1 Tim. 2:9-15, 1 Peter 3:1-6, and Titus 2:3-5 that a Christian woman should be discreet, chaste, modest, sober-minded, in subjection, meek and quiet, and shamefaced. The bonnet fosters the proper sense of godly reserve and shamefacedness, especially in regards to interaction with the opposite sex, that is becoming of a Christian woman.

These women would also wear white cap-style headcovering or "veiling", often made of opaque mesh, under their bonnet, in obedience to the commands given in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. These commands are that a Christian woman should have long uncut hair, and that it should be modestly covered with a veil that is a sign of her being under the authority of her husband or father.

Addition: Sorry I had to add to this The actual reason is that in the bible it says a woman must worship with her head covered and in the Amish and mennonite faith one should be prepared to pray and worship at anytime. Therefore, their heads are covered all the time.

One, their young men were being required to serve in the military dispite their objection to war and killing.

Two, vast farmland was being opened up in the mid-west of the US and Canada to farmers.

The Mennonites are a Christian denomination of the Anabaptist (Anabaptists are Christians who believe in delaying baptism until the candidate confesses his or her own faith) who arose from the teachings of Menno Simons ( a Catholic priest at the time of the Reformation around 1526 or 1527). They follow the Bible closely, and apply it to all their daily life. Separation from worldly trends and fashions, if they are seen to be in violation to God's word, is the standard - although there are conservative and more liberal groups within the Mennonites. They do not practice separation to the extent that the related Amish people do, and have strong evangelistic ministries and missions. Conservative Mennonites are sometimes referred to as the 'Plain People' in reference to their simple style of dressing and living.

Is God skeptical, discouraging or quick to condemn? No! But the Mennonite community, like all other religious communities, is made up of men and women with sinful natures. Too often, they like other religious communities have a list of rules instead of a relationship. God desires a relationship with us. We see this in the garden of Eden He prepared a way that we can have that relationship and calls us to that relationship with His Son. The Mennonite's read their Bibles and then make a list of rules on how they can please God. They then follow their lists, forgetting who God is and what he desires. God does desire us to be holy, because that is the only way that we can have a relationship with him. He provides the way that we can be Holy thru the death, burial and Resurrection of his son, and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 7 talks about people that think that they are pleasing God, but are not. It ends by saying that the wise man is the man who knows and does the Word of God. Start there, in the Word of God.

EDIT: I COMPLETELY disagree with this question and answer. The Mennonite faith does not make "lists" instead of relationships. In fact the Mennonites have dynamic relationship with God and they encourage anyone to learn about God and improve their relationship with him. They want people to be pure of heart and intention. I don't see the Mennonite community as being skeptical, in fact they have such blind faith about God that they're believers. I don't understand how they are skeptical when they can believe everything happens because it is God's will. And I don't think they are so quick to condemn when they preach forgiveness. The first step in forgiveness is repentance and God will forgive us our sins. It is not for man to judge another man therefore we forgive or neighbors and we love all people as God loves us, unconditionally. I also agree with this answer beings I am Mennonite we are not quick to judge and do not make lists to follow day by day we go by the word of god as written in the bible. This does not make anymore different or better than another because we have our sins like any other. If you read the bible it tells you that we are all sinners and need to ask the lord for his forgiveness stated above all we want for us as well of all mankind is to be pure of heart and intentions and an unconditional love for him

That depends on how set the Mennonite guy is on marrying within his own faith. Most would choose to marry someone who is also a Mennonite, so that their children would be raised in the faith as well.

The biggest difference between Amish and mennonite is the lifestyle. The Amish lifestyle defines them in their life with christ. Mennonites do not adhere to the same strictness. They branched off and followed the teachings of Menno, whom had the same religious roots (anabaptist) as the Amish. Jacob Amman however felt that the rules needed to be adhered to verbatim and the Amish began. Some Old Order Mennonites are very close to the most liberal Amish. Some only drive horse and buggies and dress plan, however liberal/modern mennonites simply dress modestly and follow the anabaptist ideals yet have all the modern conveniences and technology.
