What dress code? The Duggar sisters love to rock heels after growing up with a very modest style. Jinger Vuolo (née Duggar), Lauren Duggar (née Swanson), Joy-Anna Forsyth (née Duggar) and more of the Counting On alums have shown off their fancy footwear since becoming adults.
Though they love to keep it casual most of the time, every now and then they’ll step up their look with a pair of cute heels. Yes, even Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) rocked some high heels for one of her first photoshoots as a mom. Back in 2015, she stood in hot pink wedges to announce that she was pregnant with her first child, son Spurgeon. She and husband Ben Seewald have gone on to have three more children — son Henry and daughters Ivy and Fern.
So Much for That Dress Code! Almost All the Duggar Girls Have Worn Pants
Back in 2013, Michelle Duggar, who shares 19 kids with husband Jim Bob Duggar, explained the reasoning behind the famous family’s modest dress code.
“After I was born again and became a Christian, I really began to cover up,” she said during a TLC Q&A at the time. “I felt like the Lord was saying to me, ‘You know what, you probably shouldn’t be wearing that. It’s a little bit low cut, or a little bit too high, you know?’ I just really felt like I needed to obey what God was saying to me first and understand later. And then I saw in the scriptures a lot of things that helped me understand why I was feeling uncomfortable with my previous clothing choices.”

She added that her kids’ followed her lead, opting for thrift store finds over mainstream stores. “As we studied as a family, we found we could come up with our idea of what we thought modesty was, but we really wanted to see what the scriptures said about it,” she told fans. “Our interpretation was that from the neck down to the knee should be covered. By keeping those private areas covered, there’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on.”
As the ladies get older, they’ve seemingly found their own unique sense of style — wearing all sorts of Duggar no-nos, including leather pants, shorts, nose rings, tattoos and bathing suits.
