There’s no problem whatsoever with wearing them. Mimah Nafshach. If they’re a Begged then you’re fine. And if not then they’re not Chayav in Tzitzis. The only issue with them is whether or not it’s Muttar to make a Brachah on them. R’ Moshe says they’re not clothing and that making a Brachah on them is a Brachah Levatalah. The Tzitz Eliezer says they’re okay, if I recall correctly. It’s very, very hard to be Meikel anywhere on an issue like this K’negged Rav Moshe, and I’d even be willing to say that anyone who wants to wear them in America doesn’t even have a legitimate Shittah to rely upon to make a Brachah.
