It seems that What the President of the US wears (botton down shirt, no tie or jacket) is Kavod these days (such as for Shabbos or Yom Tov). I wonder when it will trickle down to the Hamon Am. (Although Business attire may be more reflective of Kavod)
flatbush27: It bothers me more what men & women wear to daven than not wearing a hat & jacket. Don’t they realize they are standing before The King! A dusty hat & dirty jacket, as well as a plain shirt & skirt are not appropriate. At the very least, a clean Jacket should be required for both men & women.
Seeing that you are so emphatic about dressing properly (like a Yid), I’m sure you will agree that women should wear a Hat & Jacket as well (if they ever go outside, as well as for davening, candlelighting, bentching and the sort). I can just see it being the newest Shidduch question! You don’t want to be labeled an “unmachmir” C”V!
