#The minhag is to permit wearing Shabbat clothing for Shabbat Chazon.<ref>Mishna Brurah 551:5 | #The minhag is to permit wearing Shabbat clothing for Shabbat Chazon. This is the practice of the Sephardim, Chasidim, and some Ashkenazim.<ref>Mishna Brurah 551:5 based the Gra writes that the minhag Vilna was to wear Shabbat clothing on Shabbat Chazon.</ref> However, some Ashkenazim have the practice not to wear Shabbat clothing on Shabbat Chazon.<ref>Rama 551:3. Aruch Hashulchan 551:11 notes that the minhag Ashkenazim that he observed was to wear regular Shabbat clothing on Shabbat. He explained that the Rama only said that the minhag was not to wear Shabbat clothing if the weekday and Shababt clothing look similar except that it is slightly nicer. Therefore, it isn't obvious that if you're wearing your weekday clothing on Shabbat that it isn't Shabbat clothing. However, the minhag developed when it was common for Shabbat clothing to be very different than the weekday clothing and if someone wore weekday clothing on Shabbat it would be obvious that they were publicly mourning on Shabbat, which may not be done. Nonetheless, he says that since in his time the weekday clothing is similar to the Shabbat clothing they should revert to the Rama's minhag.
