# There’s a requirement of Kavod and Oneg on Chol HaMoed, such as having special food, drinks and clothing, but it is more lenient than kavod of Yom Tov. <ref> Sh”t Rabbi Akiva Eiger 1 (in the Hashmatot) and S”A HaRav 529:5 write that there’s no Kavod and Oneg on Chol HaMoed. On the other hand, Magan Avraham 530:1, Mishna Brurah 530:1, Sefer Chol HaMoed (pg 1; by Rabbi Dovid Zucker) write that there’s Kavod and Oneg on Chol HaMoed, however Shaar Tzion 530:4 points out that it’s not as strict as Kavod of Yom Tov. Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 502) writes similarly. </ref>

# As part of Kavod, one should wear clothes that a little better than weekday clothes. Some have the minhag to wear Shabbat clothing on Chol HaMoed. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 530:1, Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 502), and Aruch HaShulchan 530:4 write that there’s an obligation to wear clothes a little better than weekday clothes. Nimukei Orach Chaim 530:3 and Chaye Adam 106:1 hold it’s an obligation to wear Shabbat clothes but one doesn’t need to wear Yom Tov clothes that are a little better than Shabbat clothes. Mishna Brurah 530:1 brings the Maharil who had the practice to wear Shabbat clothes on Chol HaMoed. </ref>
