New Insight on clothes: how little clothing means back then and now-a-days

Today during prayer I read about the death of a saint. The death itself was brutal as mostly all are, but the thing that caught my attention was something I have often overlooked.
I noticed that many saints were killed with little clothing on.
In the description of their death, it is said that the soldiers "stripped them of their clothes"
I read this many times in history books and knew that when clothes were being torn off, it brought upon humiliation, mockery and embarrassment due to the fact of how properly clothed they were back then.
To show one's skin was not common. They were covered mostly from head to toe (considering the time era and where exactly there were in the world)
For time's sake let us say we are talking about AD 250
How they would kill Christians varied but many times- as I have stated before- they would take off their garments leaving them with almost nothing on.
So, wearing little clothing was humiliating due to the fact that one was exposing himself to the world.
Let's fast forward to today's day and age.
Granted the times have changed and we no longer dress as people did however the radical-ness of how one properly dresses oneself is baffling.
To think that there was a time in society where wearing little clothing was humiliating, embarrassing and shameful and how people freely choose to do that now!
We see people walking around with bottoms as short as 2 inches, see-through shirts, stomachs exposed, backs bare as if it means nothing.
This has become normal.
The body was once a mystery and treasured, only showed to their betrothed and to think that now 95% if not all of our skin is exposed for the entire world to see?
It seems as if showing skin now means prideful, and as if accepted into today's society.

I often have felt as though I am being looked at or judged for dressing modestly and sometimes old fashioned.
Perhaps it is because I have no desire to show every part of my skin to the world,
perhaps it is because I am consciously aware that depending on what I exposed means I am giving permission to be fantasized after
perhaps it is because I want people to know me for my intellect and dignity not my body,
perhaps it is because I may have a similar mindset to the people back in AD 250.
