oomis – our imahos wore nose-rings too – but that would now be untzniusdik as it is outlandish.
I think we can sum up and say Tznius is about 2 issues (that in essence are one)
1) Covering up those areas that are usually covered (in decent societies) some of which the Torah classifies as Ervah and/or cause improper thoughts. And covering them up in a non-provocative way.
2) Not attracting undue attention by by the way you act, talk or dress. This is much more subjective and depends on the minhag of the town and generation.
Any thoughts on that summary?
