Ok I know I’m going to get beaten up like I did in the other thread, but I must make my opinion heard. Here goes: I dont beleive in any of this nonsense about clothing “making” you frum or not. I don’t beleive that we should put on a show,we are who we are and thats that. I DO beleive that clothing should be modest and cover what needs to be covered, it shouldnt attract attention. As for jeans or a jean skirt, well thats just the material,I dont think it should matter. If you are a decent,G-d fearing Jew who does the best you can and you wear jeans,them I envy you. You are doing better then most. We shouldnt look at people differntly because of what they wear. We should learn to look INSIDE the person because thats what matters most. I dont think after 120, Hashem is going to say oh,he/she couldve gone into Olam Habah but because they wore denim I cannot allow them in. Its what you DO. Not what you wear. Granted,when you dress like a shlump,you may be tempted to act like one, thats a different argument. If I can manage to do what I need to do and so can my husband who wears jeans,goes to shuirim,davens w/a minyan and is a G-d fearing person, then I dont think it should count for or against anyone. (For the record, hubby only wears khakis,not jeans,just because he doesnt like how they feel-they are very rough,but he doesnt not wear them for “religious reasons”)
Speaking of khakis,thats also in the same ballgame as jeans no,because it also not “yeshivish”, no?
So I dont think it should matter what you look like on the outside. Aslong as your are tzanua,and not like measure for measure,like the skirt is right under the knee. Imean really in the taam of tznius. And a man doesnt have to be dressed in black and white either. He should liook like a yid,w/his yarmulka on,and he should look neat and presentable. I dont think denim by itself is untznius or unyeshivish.
