Why is the onus of modesty always on the female? Men can look as slovenly as they want but the second a woman shows a bit of skin, or too much elbow, or even a thin ring of neckline the real hullabaloo begins. I get that women already are more in tune with fashion but why must the religion make it their fault for arousing men who can't control themselves anyway?
Because for me, wigs are ugly. Can't tell when a woman is wearing one anyway, but the idea of wearing someone else's hair (poor woman in India...) to cover your own is repugnant. Somehow snoods always look bad as well - they turn women into frumpy biddies (at least in my opinion). I'd much rather Orthodox Jews, both men and women, took a good long look at how some American Muslim women dress. They wear pretty headcoverings and splendid, modest dresses of all sorts of vibrant colors, like scarlet, blue, green, etc. (There are many such girls and women at University of Houston; I'd post pictures if not for the creep factor.)
