Some of Kendra Caldwell Duggar‘s sisters-in-law have ventured into the pants-wearing world, but it’s clear that Kendra has no plans to follow suit–not even in the snow!
Kendra, who is the new wife of Joseph Duggar, held tight to the Duggar Family’s dress code of women wearing only skirts and dresses, despite the fact that she went snow tubing with the family on Thursday. In a photo posted to Instagram by Duggar cousin Amy Duggar King, the Counting On star can be seen bundled up in a ski jacket, hat and gloves…and a skirt.
“Sliding into your Instagram feed with this sweet girl! Tubing & shopping today while the boys ski!” Amy captioned the photo of her and Kendra (who is pregnant, by the way.)
It appears that Kendra is wearing some sort of snow pants or leggings under her black skirt, and Amy’s Instagram followers were quick to voice their opinions on how ridiculous Kendra’s outfit was.
“I’m sorry but a dress on the slopes isn’t modest,” one person wrote. “I’m as conservative as they come but…really?”
“[Tubing] in a skirt and pregnant?? Weird,” another person posted.
One follower attempted to explain why the Duggar girls (well…some of them, anyway) always wear skirts, even over snow pants.
“The skirt covers any outlines and the shorts underneath provides added modesty, especially for little girls or for doing activities that would require some extra coverage,” she posted.
Kendra’s skirt-over-pants ensemble isn’t rare in the Duggar household, though. Both Jessa Seewald and Joy-Anna Forsyth have been photographed in the past working out while wearing a skirt over their exercise pants.
A while back, their mother Michelle Duggar explained why her daughters (and apparently, daughters-in-law) always wear skirts and dresses.
“My daughters are the second generation of modest dressing in this family,” she has said. “They’ve grown up being dressed modestly, and in clothes that are definitely more feminine apparel. I’ve told my daughters this has been a joyful journey for me to learn what my Lord has called me to. I really feel like the Lord is impressing upon me that I should be modest in what I wear. And also, that I really should be defining who I am as a woman by choosing to wear dresses and skirts.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Jinger Vuolo became the first Duggar girl to dare to wear pants publicly earlier this year. Her older sister, Jill Dillard, followed Jinger’s lead and is now wearing pants during public outings. They are the only Duggar girls who have worn pants publicly to date.

If Jesus is telling you that you need to wear a skirt you should probs cut back on the lsd there, ‘shell… Also, is that not his sister in the pic with him? There’s too damn many of them to keep em straight!
Bunch of nutters. She wore it skating, too. Dumb and dumber.
Are we still on the no pants/shocking if they wear pants thing?! Honestly, I think it is such a minor thing to worry about considering there are other things they are doing that are much more hurtful. My problem with Kendra is that she needs to play a submissive wife, not the fact that she doesn’t wear pants!
She is dating a Duggard. Meaning: desperate, dumb and having to do everything a man wants. It’s 2017 girl. Google ‘independant’.

I just looked at Jingers Instagram and she’s still wearing jeans! It’s nice to see her doing her own thing.
I just think the people that troll their Instagram accts or other social accts and say nasty things or negative opinions prob shouldn’t be labeled as ‘fans’
I’m shocked that Goody-Two-Shoes Golden Child Jill wears pants. Guess she’s trying to get people to like her like they do Jinger. Sorry Jill, your asshat husband ruined that for you. Just like he took allllll your potential easy income and flushed it down the toilet just so he can spout off on Twitter. Grow up Derick. How ’bout you worry about yourself being a man just like you so bizarrely want Jazz to be.
I loved the person saying they wear a skirt over pants to keep the modesty…track pants I can see, but snow pants?! Ain’t no outline with them!
They are too close to my home
If there’s a God, even he is rolling his eyes at this ensemble.
I was kind of a tomboy as a kid, and I turned out fine. As a matter of fact, my thirteenth wedding anniversary is in a week.
Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. All I was trying to say is that they’re a little off. You can be a tomboy and still end up in a regular normal relationship. It’s fine. We are all entitled to our own opinions as long as we’re not hurting anyone.
Haha the downvotes were weird. I’m the same way..played w trucks and dirt. Played in creeks and caught crawdads, never wore shoes and still don’t. Born a female, raised to use my imagination and turned out just fine, married and love the peen.
Hey Barbara, are you a southern girl too? Just curious.
The issue isn’t that she’s a tomboy and that she’s not in a normal relationship. That’s why you’re getting downvotes. Did you even read the story? Even if you knew literally nothing else about the Duggars, if you had read the story you’d know that all Duggar women are required to wear skirts because they think that’s what god wants them to do. You saying something about being a tomboy is so out of left field.
I don’t understand what your comment means? How does it pertain to a Duggar wearing a skirt??
I can’t stand Jill. At least Jinger is doing normal stuff now.
Better get out the Carmex cause somebody is going to have chapped lips.
This cracked me up!! Absolutely hilarious.
I know sir nibs is a troll but this comment really works and I love it. It took me a minute…but I got it and love it.
hehehehehe ahahahahaha. I just spit my coffee out from laughing so hard. Now my coworkers are looking at me like I’m crazy.
They aren’t close with Amy anymore, they just can’t publicly admit that or they will have to explain why and most likely face criticism for it. Also, Jill needs to stop doin whatever Jinger does to get attention. People are kind of over you because of your ignorant husband.
So Amy just photoshopped Kendra into her Instagram pic?
Oh, I always wear a tulle skirt while playing in the snow….said no one ever. Also, I had insomnia last night and was killing time looking at the Duggar’s Instagram accounts. None of them follow Amy. I thought that was weird, especially since they clearly are still close.
