How do Jewish dress?

Answer 1

Jews dress like any other group in the world, some modestly, others not. There is no specific costume worn.

Jews of different movements tend to dress differently. Jews from Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, and Secular backgrounds typically dress like the majority of the region's non-Jewish inhabitants: Western attire in the West and Arab clothing in the Arab world. (Israelis dress in Western attire.) The Orthodox Movements tend to dress in Western Business Attire on most occasions, even if they are going to an informal event. Ultra-Orthodox groups have their own cloaks and suits specific to their local communities that have not been changed (in terms of appearance not the particular clothing items) for a few hundred years in accordance with custom.

Answer 2

In a way that expresses themselves, but also modestly, so people focus on the inner beauty and not only the outer beauty. They don't dress ugly, but not in the most fashionable, body showing way. Look it up.

Answer 3

All Jews don't dress the same.

There are three basic types of Judaism:

Reform

Conservative

Orthodox

The reform and conservative practice Judaism but act, dress, and talk like any normal person would. They are more relaxed and not as strict about Judaism and keeping holidays, etc.

But Orthodox Jews have a very different lifestyle. They practice every holiday and law very strictly. Woman wear skirts below the knee, shirts that go up to the neck-line and pass the elbow. Married woman wear shetls (wigs) or scarfs to cover all their hair. Men wear white-collared shirts and black pants- like a suit. They also wear kippot- skullcaps, yarkmekas- and tzitzit- fringes on the end of a square blanket. Most older men have beards and some have long peyot- side burns- that dangle next to their ears. They cover almost everything and are very modest. I hope that helped!
