Jinger Duggar has continued to ditch her parents Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar's strict dress code after moving to Los Angeles.

The Counting On alum, 27, caught the attention of the Duggar fans and critics when they spotted her dressing differently than what she was taught when she was still living with her parents in Arkansas. Just recently, Jinger was spotted in another controversial outfit for a woman from a Duggar household.

Counting On Star Jinger Duggar Wears Tight Ripped Jeans And Break Dad Jim Bob's Dress Rules

Many were shocked when Jinger Duggar was spotted wearing tight ripped jeans at the LA Dodger game with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo. The former athlete shared the 19 Kids, and Counting alum's photographed laughing as she looked away from the camera on Instagram.

Jinger paired her ripped jeans with a white long sleeve turtleneck and a blue vest in the snap.

The photo was shared on Reddit, and many poked fun at Jinger's top, The Sun reported. Some said she looked like a "grandma," while others compared her to a Wal-Mart store employee.

Aside from her top, many paid attention to her tight ripped jeans. It wasn't the first time Jinger defied her parents' dress code.

In August, she stepped out wearing denim shorts while pushing a twin carriage stroller containing her daughters, 8-month-old Evangeline and 3-year-old Evangeline, while crossing the street.

The ladies at the Duggar's household are taught to dress modestly. Usually, they only wear skirts and dresses due to the verse in Deuteronomy 22:5 stating, "A woman shall not wear a man's garment." So, when Jinger started wearing sleeveless and pants, it immediately caught the attention of the public.

What Did Jinger Say About Her Change Of Wardrobe?

Jinger Duggar explained why she broke her parents' strict dress code in her and her husband Jeremy's book The Hope We Hold: Finding Peace in the Promises of God. She added that her decision to switch from wearing only skirts and dresses to pants and shorts didn't make her feel guilty but free.

"Growing up, I had a set of standards that I took as givens. Now, as I reexamined and compared them to scripture, my convictions were changing," Jinger was quoted by E! News as saying.

"Modesty isn't about what you wear. It's about the position of your heart. I wanted to follow what the Bible said, and as I searched the Scriptures for answers, I never found a passage specifically forbidding women from wearing pants," she continued in the book.

Although there was no guilt feeling, Jinger said transitioning to a new fashion wasn't easy. The reality star said, in her heart, she felt "free," but she also struggled because she didn't want to hurt her parents for not sharing their convictions.

Catch up with Jinger on Instagram, where she shares clips of her podcast guesting, Q&A sessions, and more.
