Q&A: Haredi Appearance
Haredi Appearance
Question
Does the Haredi look bother you in principle, on the level of personal taste — black and white, hat, suit, payot sidelocks? Everyone has the right to be bothered by it, and everyone also has the right to dress that way. Is it legitimate to say there’s no need for it? I think so. But I don’t really know.
Answer
Everyone can dress however they like. To me it looks silly and uncomfortable. So what?
Discussion on Answer
You could make lightweight suits without lining, from pleasant breathable materials — maybe cotton, cotton tzitzit, short normal shirts, and black straw hats. To be dressed while feeling like you’re not. Charcoal-blacken your legs and slip into sandals 😉
You could also just get sex-reassignment surgery, and then just walk around in a flowing dress
Super simple.
It’s very uncomfortable, especially in the Bnei Brak summer. Speaking from personal experience, unfortunately.
