I do not understand the question. Most yeshiva bachurim do very much follow the Slabodka mehalaich in terms of clothing only. The norm has become to wear non-iron or pressed crisp clean white shirts and dress pants. The fact that “black and white” has taken over is a separate issue. Your average yeshiva bachur is dressed much more presentable and spends much more on his clothing than most professionals. This is much more the norm than the shlumpy look of old.
The better question is what happened to the real mehalaich of slabodka to work long hours on character development?
