Do Jews wear different clothes than everyone else?

Best Answer

It depends entirely on the time period.

Today, Liberal Jews and Modern Orthodox Jews typically wear clothes indistinguishable from those worn by the Non-Jewish population, with the one exception that Modern Orthodox Jews will usually not wear any clothes that are immodest in appearance. Hasidim and Haredim wear specific frocks, cloaks, and shirts based on their particular community.

Historically, Jews usually wore distinctive clothing, especially prior to Emancipation when distinctive clothing was often legally mandated of them by Non-Jewish rulers. After Emancipation, by and large, what we see today came about. There were some post-Emancipation times, such as during Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, when distinctive clothing was once again mandated.
