I’m so tired of seeing women wearing all black – including shoes, bag, and accessories. Don’t they have any imagination at all? Black is the color of death; all the psycho-killers wear it all the time. Lighten up ladies, add a little color to your life, and maybe (if you are interested in attracting men) you will have more men pay attention to you!

If a striped, colorful coat was OK for Yaakov and Yoseph, why do frum men AND women now look like a black and white movie?

The women are much more holy than the men.

It should therefore be the WOMEN who start putting up the mechitza, and dividing the space in the synagogue – for the men.

The women have been stupid enough to accept the:

walls;
fences;
black opaque glass;
single windows covered by a thick opaque curtain;
duvets; and
canvases

that the men (‘dayanim’ &’rabbis’) have put up to screen them off.

Remember the thick curtains that are actually nailed to the glass, just in case a woman may wish to view a Sefer Torah.

This is a complete insult to the women – and an insult to Hashem, and the Shechinah.

It is time this was corrected – by the women.

black is so boring. the point of tznius is to be modest, not necessarily self-effacing.
and anyways, what does my shirt’s lack of color have to do with my neshama? doesnt the gemara say something about how its important for husband to give their wives colored clothing? does anyone know the source for that?

Crawling axe is correct. Also, by centering our attention more on one’s neshama and mind capacity it clarifies the (in fact) obvious realization that physically we are all the same, and we differ in the chiddushim we can come up with when ridding our selves of such physicality. Materialism and physicality are things that keep us further from yiras shamayim, and keeping it simple (black and white for example) is a way to get closer. Worrying about which abercrombie shirt I want to wear today isn’t the number one concern usually

Another issue is that unless you shop at the frummy stores (which, by the way are expensive as heck,) most of the clothes that are up to standard are either white blouses or black shirts and dresses… In fact on this women’s Orthodox conversion board I frequent we are constantly looking out for pretty and hopefully colorful clothes that A. Don’t cost a million bucks and B. Don’t require us to wear ugly long sleeve tees to get the sleeve and collar length right.

I just figured that Hashem gave each one of us a unique personality, and it will obviously show in our way of dressing. As long as it`s modest, why not wear something that reflects who you are?!
