Modest Clothing: Difference between revisions

# One should be careful to get dressed under one’s blanket so as not to reveal one’s skin that’s usually covered. Therefore, if one isn’t wearing a shirt to sleep, one should put it on under the blanket rather than sit up and put it on. <Ref>S”A 2:1 writes that a person shouldn’t sit up before putting on one’s shirt rather one should put it on under one’s covers. </ref>

# Similarly, in places where people walk around in socks and shoes even in the summer, if it’s possible one should put on one’s socks underneath the blanket; however, some are lenient regarding revealing one’s feet. <ref>Mishna Brurah 2:1 writes that since in his part of the world people covered their feet even in the summer one should put on one’s socks under the blanket if that’s possible, however, Aruch HaShulchan 2:1 is lenient. </ref>

# One should make sure to cover one’s body at least up to the breast bone and on one’s arms at least up to the elbow and some are lenient regarding short sleeve shirts. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 2:1 writes that one should cover one’s body up to the breast bone and up to one’s elbows. However, Rav Nevinsal in BeYitzchak Yikra 2:1 quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman who was lenient regarding short sleeve shirts (see there). </ref>
