Seems to me the discussion here regarding married women’s headcoverings is all about tznius. And tznius is not as simple as it sounds. Our Chachamim have provided us with general guidelines, but every woman has to find with her own heart and her innate wisdom the path to observing this mitzvah correctly, modestly, and pleasantly. There is no way to define with mathematical precision the manner of speech or dress or behavior that will attract too much attention. While I appreciate (as always) the learned CR members who kindly provide the relevant mareh mekomos, I think we’re better off leaving the sheitels to the ladies. And I hope nobody will mind my asking some of the ladies reading this to take a good look in the mirror next time they’re about to go out shopping or to a simcha, and think – is this how I want my husband to see me, or how I want everybody else’s husbands to see me?
