Modesty in [[Judaism]], called [[Tzniut]] ({{langx|he|צניעות}}), is important beyond aspects of clothing. It extends to behaviour in public and in private, and depends on the context.{{CSS image crop

====Women====
[[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] and [[Haredi Judaism|ultra-Orthodox]] Jewish women usually wear skirts that cover their knees, with blouses or shirts covering the collarbone and sleeves covering the elbows.<ref name="Patheos">[http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Modesty-Not-Just-for-Women?offset=0&max=1 "Modesty: Not Only A Woman's Burden"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161028021508/http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Modesty-Not-Just-for-Women?offset=0&max=1 |date=2016-10-28 }}, ''[[Patheos]]''</ref> [[See-through clothing|See-through materials]] may not be used, and clothes are expected not to be [[Form-fitting garment|tight-fitting]] or "provocative".<ref>[http://www.modestworld.com/laws.html The Laws of Jewish Modesty] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510043220/http://www.modestworld.com/laws.html |date=May 10, 2015 }}</ref> Less strict [[Conservative Judaism]] recommends modest dress, but this is not broadly observed. Less restrictive branches of Judaism tend to adopt the fashions of the society in which they live.

It is the custom for a married [[Orthodox Jewish]] woman to cover her hair in public, and sometimes at home. The hair covering may be a scarf ([[tichel]]), [[Snood (headgear)|snood]], hat, or a [[Wig (hair)|wig]] called a [[Sheitel]].

====Men====
Standards of modesty also apply to men. While some Orthodox men will wear short-sleeve shirts in public, ultra-Orthodox men will not. More modern Orthodox Jewish men will be more lax in their dress when surrounded by other men (if it is not in a religious environment). Modesty for men most often translates to covering the torso and legs with loose clothing. Different groups of Orthodox Jews have different dress norms. But all have men dress in a head covering ([[kippah]]).
