Question
Is it permissible to wear a respectable and modest denim skirt that is not coarse at all, just made of denim-colored fabric? Is there a difference if it's dark or light denim? (Dark blue is the real denim)
Answer
Hello
Modesty in clothing includes several components. A. Proper coverage of the body. B. Clothing that does not attract attention. C. Clothing that is gentle and not coarse.
Wearing denim clothing has been prohibited by the decisors, as it is coarse clothing and expresses the opposite of gentleness. [Wearing jeans began with young people who wanted to express the opposite of the gentleness and morality that were accepted even among the nations of the world previously].
I do not delve into very precise details, such as shade and type of fabric. I assume that a fabric may be considered 'denim' according to the scientific definition, and yet not look like it at all. I simply tried to clarify the principle on which the prohibition is based, and according to which you can apply it to your question.
