ive posted about this before and i will post about it again. this is not a matter of tznius, this is not a matter of frumkeit, this is not a matter of one jew feeling genuine concern for the spiritual wellbeing of another, this is about jealousy. plain and simple. and you want to know what i think? GET OVER IT!!! if you can’t afford designer labels, DON’T BUY THEM! baruch hashem there are people in our communities who have been blessed by hashem with wealth, and they can do with that wealth what they want, (within the boundaries of halacha obviously) and you have no say in that.
for some reason people always feel a need to pick on the wealthy, to criticize them for the clothes they wear, the cars they drive, the houses they build, and the neighbourhoods they live in. the united states government takes every opportunity it can to tax teh wealthy because the less fortunate (monetarily speaking) are not happy with what they have, and cannot begrudge the wealthy their gifts. GET OVER IT! this issue is not one of tznius. is there designer clothing that should never be worn in public? yes. is there designer clothing that is perfectly acceptable save for the status symbol on the upper left side of the pocket? yes. so teh issue is not about status, or wealth, its about people not being someach b’chelkam. that’s your problem, not the wealthy’s.
