Wife Wearing Other’s Clothing

It says in Shulchan Aruch Evan HaEzer Siman 21 Sif 1 that it’s ossur to look at the colored clothing of a woman that you know even if she is not wearing them, lest one come to “hirhurim”of fthat woman.

What about if someone’s wife borrows a dress from her friend that you know, is it a problem then to look at one’s wife when she is wearing that dress (or to specifically look at the dress).

Answer:

The problem of looking at colored clothing is that a person might come to improper thoughts.

Where there is no concern of improper thoughts, there is no prohibition of looking at clothing.

Therefore, if one’s own wife is wearing the clothes, and there is no concern for improper thoughts, there will be no problem.

Best wishes.
