<div dir="ltr">Nowadays, I would venture to say that the Israeli who wears a white shirt on Shabbos is fulfilling the mitzva of kavod shabbos better then many people who wear a suit for the following reason. <div><br></div>
<div>Many people (especially non Chasidic Charedim) wear a suit, white shirt and a tie every day of the week. It is very difficult if not impossible to distinguish between their weekday dress (white shirt, suit, tie) and their shabbos dress (white shirt, suit, tie). I understand that these people generally designate specific suits, shirts, and ties for shabbos but the fact is that to the outside observer they look no different on Shabbos then they do during the week. Just by looking at them I would have no idea if it is Shabbos or a weekday. They don't look anymore dressed up on Shabbos then they do during the week which is a lack of Kavod Shabbos. On the other hand, for the Israeli who dresses casually during the week with colored shirts (maybe not even button down) the white shirt on Shabbos is very clearly visible and a distinct indication of kavod shabbos. His dress on shabbos is clearly different and nicer then his dress during the week. You can immediately tell that he is dressed up for shabbos. </div>
