What Hasidic women wear (and don't wear) | Pearl

How Hasidic Women Dress: A Conversation with Pearl from Williamsburg

What does modest clothing mean in the Hasidic world—and how is it taught from such a young age?

In this video, I sit down with Pearl, a Hasidic woman from Williamsburg who has been dressing in this tradition for over 70 years. We talk about how Hasidic girls begin learning the rules of modesty at age 3, what kinds of clothing are considered appropriate, and how fashion trends are received within the community.

We also discuss:
– The difference between weekday and Shabbos outfits
– How community standards evolve (or don’t)
– Why new clothing styles can become controversial
– And what it’s like to follow these customs over a lifetime

This is a rare glimpse into the everyday experience of Hasidic women’s fashion and the ideas behind it—all from someone who’s lived it for decades.
