Reply To: Jeans

people keep saying not to judge the person on how he dresses. Why not? the reason for this halacha is to distinguish us from the goyim. and everyone judges by the way people dress. if someone sees a teenager wearing dark pants and a white shirt smoking, he’ll say why is this yeshiva bachur smoking? why would someone assume hes a bachur. maybe hes just wearing the same uniform and really works in a supermarket but nobody thinks like that. the fact is we do judge by dress. would you be surprised if you saw your rav wearing jeans and a t shirt? i hope so but why should you be if you dont judge by the way a person dresses. the fact is someone should think before he dresses. we as jews should not wear jeans because its goyish just like goyish music and a million other goyish things. who cares if presidents wear them! its still goyish.
