“it doesnt but its not bikovidig for a Jew to wear jeans unless he needs them for work although the ‘jean wearing jobs’ dont demand jeans. plenty of these people wear other pants on the job and nothing ever happened to them because of it. only for the better cause they are more comfortable because they are not as tight as jeans “
Perception is everything. A tuxedo (and even more so WHITE tie and tails) is considered to be THE most fancy bekovodig garment that a man could wear. You will probably never see a yeshivishe person or chossid put one on. Not everything that one thinks shows kovod, is necessarily understood by someone else to show kovod. When I see yeshivish camp counselors wearing their shabbos pants, jackets, and white shirts while running around in the heat playing ball with their campers, I feel that THAT is not bekovodig. It is an insult to the same clothing that they also wear for Shabbos.
