R Aharon Rakeffet calls all such wearing of uniforms  black hat, black suit white shirt, tzitzis out  chassidus. He says that even the Litvisher yeshiva world became chassidim, Chassidus won.

But he doesnt begrudge it. In todays world, something that creates a sense of belonging to a culture that still retains allegance to higher moral and spiritual values is very important.

He tells the story of a Lubavitcher chassid who was formerly a sailor. The man still cursed like a sailor, but now did so in levush! He is much better off. Now he has an anchor to something holy, something pulling him in the right direction.

So perhaps its not far fetched to answer your friends grandmother (who can hopefully still get berakhos for a long and healthy life) that yes  BECAUSE back in Europe, everyone was so much more religious than us American kids today, they didnt need to wear their tzitzis out.

The uniform may be worn to impress others. But the value is that it also impresses ourselves.

very interesting, especially the historical info about wearing tsitsis out vs in.  growing up, one of my friends grandmothers, a holocaust survivor, would always yell at us when we wore our tzitzis out; she said that back in Europe, where everyone was so much more religious than you American kids today, no one ever wore their tzitzis out
