Is a garment of notoriety related to the wearer's intention, or to the fact that it distinguishes him from the people of the land even if he does not intend arrogance by it? And is it obligatory to wear a specific Islamic dress if it draws attention, while there is another Islamic dress that is rarely worn?

The criterion for a garment of fame (libas ash-shuhrah) is that it is worn by a person to distinguish himself from others, or that it deviates from the attire of his countrymen without a valid excuse. The attire of some countries may be considered a garment of fame if worn in another country. Islam has not specified a particular dress code, but rather has laid down general conditions for clothing.
