Question
Dear Rabbi, I know there is an issue with wearing a denim skirt even if it is modest. I would like to know if it is forbidden to wear? Where can I find sources for the prohibition? Is it related to the customs of other nations? What about a leather skirt?
Answer
Hello and blessings
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, denim and leather clothing are forbidden because they contradict modesty.
Modesty in clothing includes several aspects. A. Proper coverage of the body. B. Clothing that does not attract attention. C. Clothing should be delicate and not coarse. Wearing denim and leather clothing, even when it properly covers the body, expresses the opposite of delicacy].
