Q. I go to Yeshiva in a large vacation town full with hotels and women walk in the streets year round practically in their bathing suites. During the week I have a car ride, but during Shabbos it is a great problem for me. Is it correct for me to wear on Shabbos a hoodie that covers my head instead of a Shabbos suit to protect my eyes?
A. You may wear dark glasses (if there is an Eruv) or just a large cap. Best is to wear a Taalis and cover your head, even if you don’t normally wear one yet.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Shlomo Miller, Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit’a
