Orthodox Jewish men are easily recognizable by their hats, plain black wardrobe and payos (long hair by the ears.) But this wardrobe is something we honestly never thought would inspire a high fashion magazine spread – apparently we were wrong.

Polish fashion magazine Viva! Moda used model Greg Nawrat to show off their interpretation of Orthodox Jewish clothing using this season’s high fashion menswear.
The spread was photographed by Rene Habermacher and features tallit katans and yarmulkes alongside skinny jeans, a printed bomber jacket, and some cloud-patterned pants. Nawrat even uses a tefillin for prayer in some of the pictures from the spread.

In a weird way, we feel like we could see a young hip Orthodox Jewish man wearing some of these outfits, but tradition speaks for itself so it may never happen.
Take a look at the full Orthodox Jewish inspired spread from Viva! Moda magazine in the gallery above. What’s your take?
