    Is wearing white on Shabbos only a thing for women?

    Thank you ☺

    Men wear white shirts [at least a lot of them]. There are places were men wear white pants too.

    And white socks.

    In Yerushalayim some men were white shtreimals.

    the early talmidim of the Baal Shem Tov used to, later they changed. “Lavan Bekesh La’akor es Hakol”
    also some kabbalists still do

    Es Chatai Ani Mazkir Hayom…. coming out of shul this past shabbos, as they passed through my peripheral vision I happened to notice that the women wore clothing of many colors . what custom are you referring to?

    How do you have such good peripheral vision?

    I’m sure you can find both frum men and women wearing just about ANY color (although various shades of black have been the “in” color at the fall and spring runway shows for men for the past several hundred years). Yes, you will find some niche chassidus wearing white bekeshes and knee sox but those seem to be an exception….in some other cases, the standard chassidishe lvush prescribes that only the rebbe is wearing white (or white stripes) but the masses are still dressed in standard penguin garb…

    White stripes? As in zebra garb?
