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.
