# Some people have the minhag to wear a tallit with a silver atara (band) that beautifies the top of the tallit on Shabbat and Yom Tov. Others refrain from adding this silver adornment to the tallit because a halachic question with this practice. However, most poskim hold that there's no concern at all with wearing this silver adornment.<ref>Aruch Hashulchan 8:10 writes that some people mistakenly think that the main mitzvah is the part of the tallit that is worn over one's head. However, in truth the part of the tallit that is drapped over the body is the main part of the tallit. To avoid this mistake, Aruch Hashulchan advises against having a silver band on top of a tallit so as not to give extra importance to the top of the tallit. Piskei Teshuvot (8 fnt. 121) writes that to avoid this question some people put a silver band on top and the middle of the tallit. Igrot Moshe OC 5:20:3 writes that there's no reason to be strict to avoid wearing a silver band on top of a tallit. </ref> | # Some people have the minhag to wear a tallit with a silver atara (band) that beautifies the top of the tallit on Shabbat and Yom Tov.

# It is a nice practice to have a collar on top of the tallit that indicates which side is the top so that a person doesn't accidentally wear the tallit upside down. Some poskim hold that it isn't necessary and it is fine to wear a tallit upside down.<ref>Ben Ish Chai (Beresheet, Shana Rishona, n. 8)</ref> | # It is a nice practice to have a collar on top of the tallit that indicates which side is the top so that a person doesn't accidentally wear the tallit upside down.
