Feminine-Style Men’s Clothes
Question
So as we know, one of the reasons women are prohibited from wearing pants is because of the biblical law against cross dressing. Based on this commandment, would there be a problem with a man wearing a garment that is commercially produced for a man to wear, but has a style associated with women’s clothes (e.g. something pink, floral print, men’s rights, or a kilt)?
Answers
If the clothing is made for men then it is permissible for a man to wear it and there is no prohibition of “Lo Yilbash – not to wear women’s clothing”. This is so even if the clothing may seem to have feminine qualities.
