With the media telling girls and young woman that it is our job to guard a man's thoughts and by wearing sext clothes we are causing them to have uncontrable sexual thoughts I feel bad being less than covered.
I would tell him it makes you uncomfortable. Unfortunately, if you're an attractive woman you might get catcalled no matter what you're wearing. I've gotten catcalled wearing sweats and no makeup walking my dog in the park but that attention is always unwanted for me. It sounds like it's unwanted for you as well. Can you compromise like dressing up for him at home, or only in certain situations like going to a party not when just out and about? Regardless of one's religious beliefs, your fiance needs to respect your being uncomfortable and be willing to compromise.
