Clothing that is forbidden by the ultra-Orthodox rabbis include: Tricot shirts, Lycra shirts and skirts, open-collared shirts, short and tight skirts, skirts with a slit, skirts with a straight cut, long or bulky earrings, clothes and bags in loud, flashy colors, wigs that are too exclusive, transparent or colorful stockings and clunky shoes.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how a wig can be exclusive (or otherwise).

Would mean the wig stands out to much. Does not easily blend in with the wigs the other ultra orthodox woman are wearing. I have a female cousin who wears such a wig. They moved to Israel

Is wig-wearing an ultra-Orthodox tenet?

And why "exclusive"? That has never been used to mean "loud" or "flashy" or "attention-getting."
