oomis, where did you see in halacha that one is not allowed to go with a hot pink tank top, provided they are wearing (a skin tight, of course) t-shirt underneath?
We follow gedolim and we have gedorim so that we do not come to violate halacha. After that we were also blessed with seichel, common sense, if of course, it is used in the proper framework.
Now it doesn’t matter if one is wearing a shaitel or if a girl’s hair is styled in an extremely long and flouncy hairstyle, the fact is that it attracts negative attention and a woman who has the proper feelings for tznius automatically understands what is pritzusdig and what not. You cannot always say, I don’t know where it’s written…
Whatever causes a woman to be ostentatious and cause negative attention to herself is a violation of tznius.
That does not mean that women cannot be dressed in a beautiful manner. Refined does not mean nebby. We don’t need to be dressed in baggy clothes, just not tight. We don’t need to wear a shaitel that is totaly chopped, not washed and looks like a bathing cap made of hair (like the old wigs), rather a wig should be styled beautifuly, but refined and aidel . We don’t need to wear only black clothing, we can wear refined colors.
If one’s life is not clearly defined, rather we go by it doesn’t say this or it doesn’t say that, then it’s extremely similiar to the Reform, Conservative and all those who follow a mushy type of it-doesn’t-say-anywhere kind of Judaism. Where does it say in the Torah that a man is not allowed to have more than one wife? Where does it say that you’re not allowed to drive with a car? Gedolim paskened? Well, they don’t follow our Gedolim! They follow their golumim.
Our Gedolim clearly poskened what is right and wrong and we need to follow their guildelines.
