The creator of this pdf file writes

"The following information and insights were gleaned from the 
writings of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, The Collected Writings 
Volume III, 2nd edition, 1988, by Rabbi Dr. Joseph Breuer Foundation. 
All italicized quotations are taken directly from Rabbi Hirsch, while 
the text written in normal font are simply additional insights and 
comments from me, Michal Daniel.

I wrote out this information in order to educate others with regard 
to tzitziyot, and the deeper symbolic meaning attached to them. Most 
people would not have time to read the entire writings of Rabbi 
Hirsch, but the valuable insights he presents are worth considering 
and have been condensed for your edification below. However, for 
those interested in understanding Hebraic symbolism, I strongly 
recommend obtaining a copy of Rabbi Hirsch's book listed above."

There are sections on Our Garments and the History of Clothing.  This 
serves to put clothing within a religious framework which in my mind 
should be tied to any discussion of tznius for both men and women.
