veimloachshuv: First of all obviously you mean if they want to.

I wouldn’t think that the Chiyuv of a talmid chochom to be dressed

clean and respectable (yeshiva boy = potential talmid chochom)

to include being up&up w/ the style!

To answer ur question first of all between me & you how many

yeshiva boys are dressed “mamish” in the height of fashion really!!

I dont mean wearing calvin klein ties & flats w/ stitching

& D&G glasses while wearing dress pants that are 100% wool

(btw seperates in style are mostly Poly Blends)

but most yeshiva guys who think their in style

are just barely keeping up w/ the times!

& I don’t think that’s included in Chukas Hagoy!

If we were to stay w/ the old we’d be wearing sandals & robes

no Borsalino’s 4 sure. do you get my point? Even the Rabonnim’s

hats have changed over times as well as other garments.

now that i made that point.

i think in my humble opinion

that boys who are serious of becoming the next generations

Roshei Yeshiva & Gedolim (the real ones) should not be so into their

clothing & to focus their energies on learning torah & Halacha

thoroughly & working on themselves until their middos are exemplary,

not being busy with, are we doing two pleats or flat front now?

However the rest of the Hamonei Am if they want they could

dress in style (note what i pointed out on top)

we dont have to look like aleins

but i dont think that “shpitz style” should be a

thing for any ben torah or bas yisroel,

Especially if current styles clash with Tznius.
