huju,

“If you look at photographs of frum people that were taken 50 years ago, you will see that frum attire has evolved.”

We don’t need to go back 50 years. There are differences from 30 years ago, 20 years ago, even 10 years ago. How is the fact that popular frum styles of dress change and evolve relevant?

“and men were thinner.”

Ooh, burn.

“When deciding how to dress, go back to the mitzvahs and authoritative rabbis, not the [bochurim] and yentas.”

Tzitzis – check
No shatnez – check
Head covering – check
Modest, respectable attire – check.

Seems like the mitzvos are covered by frum attire. As for authoritative rabbis, the ones I see tend to dress in the frum style. So I’m not sure what to do with this comment either.
