[Avodah] Wearing Red Clothing

Red Clothing

Many women wear different color garments during the summer months. The color
red is not permitted to be worn by a woman since it is a sign of 
pritzos. 36 Included in
this is a red headband, or red stockings. 37 If a garment has a 
minute amount of red in it,
then it is permitted to be worn.38 Some quote the opinion of Horav 
Yaakov Kamenetsky
zt"/ who maintains wearing red is permitted today since it is not 
viewed as a garment
of pritzos. 39
