Limits of a man’s clothing.

Question:
I am a student of knowledge, eighteen years old, and praise be to Allah. I love the Sunnah and I wear a garment that reaches the middle of the shin or close to it. I am not strict about this, but many of the students argue with me, saying that I am young and that this clothing of mine is a form of showing off. What is your advice to me, knowing that I did this in following the Sunnah?
Answer:
Answer: The Sunnah is to the ankle, meaning between the middle of the shin and the ankle. This follows the custom of the country. If the people of the country, or the majority of them, wear it to the middle of the shin, then wear it like them, because this is the Sunnah. If they wear it to the ankle, then wear it like them, because that is also the Sunnah. Or, between the middle and the ankle, wear what the people of the country wear. If you differ from them, it becomes clothing for showing off.
