There is one major chiluk btween those Litvishe who rationalize their laxity in mitzvos by the fact they are learning and the “chasidim in dress only”.
We all know the Chazal “Halevai oisi uzvu vetorosi shomoru shhameor shebo machziroi lemutov”
And besides those Litvishe are being busy with good things e.g. horreving in torah, albeit lax possibly in other things. You can’t call them not spiritual just missing in some.
But someone whose whole yidishkeit is only in dress is a different story altogether.
I don’t see the comparison.
That is unless you go with the hard core Chasidish shita that all such torah learning goes straight to the Sitra Acher. I don’t know though how that shtims with the Chazal above…
