If you start wearing a shtreimel, it doesn’t make you chassidish. But if you would absolutely love the shtreimel look, you wouldn’t wear it either, because Chassidim wear shtreimlech.
Why not? Is there some rule that says that it’s assur for a non-Chassid to wear a streimel? If I truly loved the streimel look (which I don’t), then I would wear it, regardless of my hashkafah.
That proves that we are categorized by our clothing.
No, it does not.
