And they're definitely NOT modest!!! Where's their modesty when they demand things rudely and without politeness??? Always thinking that they deserve everything! And I'm not talking about few...

secular women.Sounds like you hate them and are rude towards them

No amount of style or fashion can overcome being too large. If you can observe taharath hamishpacha, you can lose skip meals. Skipping meals and fasting are easier than "diets". Nothing tastes as good as looking hot. Bonus: you save money. Super-Bonus: your husband will treat you as a more valuable property. Because you will be!

Stiletto-heeled boots aren't modest or decent. They are even unnatural walking shoes. Between the dress code issued by Rabbi Aviner, cloths by a fashion designer lady from Bnai Brak that came from NY, this religious Zionist movement fashions and the ultra-Orthodox (you absolutely can not leave them out, their mind is on the kingdom, like David), some models could influence the whole fashion industry.

Things like solid red dresses and transparent clothing were banned by the Shulchan Aruch. Modesty is a state of mind as well as technical details. Aside from her skirts not covering her knees the Duchess of Cambridge has a dress sense very much in keeping with Halacha.

I'm not sure why the "ultra-Orthodox" had to be put down in the midst of this article. However, this is a great article. I am more fashionable now that I'm tznius than before.

it seems that most secular women - just like religious women - think they are (or could be models). I have seen overweight, middle aged women strutting around on ridiculous heels, tight clothes that make every roll of fat wobble and dyed platinum hair.

go to the europe , viena,milan, london, you see elegant women (also non jewish) dress modest and it is better than overweight old women in mini skirt, red nails, heels and peroxid (originaly black) hair i am from europe and when i am in israel i dont see hareidi women scream, eat with full mouth etc but i see israeli women like this of course there are and there are, i am not speaking for all

The biggest problem in Israel is that most women. orthodox or secular, do not seem to own a mirror!!

more blameable than pretending to be sexy?

A woman needs to have some taste when choosing clothes . This counts for ALL the woman , from secular to ultra charedi . Some look indeed ridiculous with what they wear .

More often than not the late Queen Mother, the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge wear high necks, sleeves below the elbow and skirts below the knee [aside from the Duchess of Cambridge whose skirts are above the knee. The official rules for the royal enclosure at Ascot require ladies hats that cover most of their hair, modest dress as outlined above and men must wear formal day wear, black or grey and must keep their top hats on during the races. At royal church services, as in British synagogues, ladies wear hats that cover most of their hair. and conform to the above rules of modesty. Perhaps Nathalie Benhaim can open a boutigue branch in Belgravia or Kensington.
