Many members of the Haredi community still maintain styles of dress similar to those worn by their 18th and 19th century European ancestors. Many men have
beards, most dress in dark suits, virtually all wear a
kippah at all times and generally a wide-brimmed
hat (typically black) during prayer and outside. Women adhere to strict interpretations of
tzeniut (modesty, particularly in dress), and hence wear long skirts and armsleeves, high necklines and a form of head covering when married (scarves,
snoods, hats, or
wigs).
Hasidic men often follow the specific dress style of their group, which may include elegant frock coats (
bekeshes), wide or high fur hats (
shtreimels or
spodiks) and generally a
gartel (a long belt wrapped around the frock) during prayer.
As you can see Orthodox Jewish dress has it's roots in Europe rather than Israel.
