Wearing Clothing Not Distinctly Male
Question
Is it permissible for a woman to wear a sweater sold in a men's clothing store, meaning it is intended for men, but the sweater does not have any distinct male clothing markers?
Thank you
Answer
Hello,
If women commonly wear it, and when a woman wears it, it does not appear as if she is wearing men's clothing, it is permitted.
