The answer

The aforementioned , "Whoever wears a garment of fame in this world, Allah will clothe him with a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection," was graded by Al-Albani. A garment of fame is that which distinguishes its wearer from others out of arrogance and pride. Whoever wears a garment that conforms to the is not wearing a garment of fame; rather, he is adhering to the Sunnah and inviting to it. If a Muslim lives in an environment where people are accustomed to letting their garments hang low (isbal), and he does not follow them in that, this is not a garment of fame. A Muslim should dress according to the attire of his society so as not to attract attention or seek fame, and he should beware of isbal and garments of fame.
