Would a سترَة (garment) that has been modified with a white stripe be considered a لباس شُهرة (garment of fame/ostentation) if it resembles سترات (garments) available in stores but attracts people's attention?

The prohibited garment of fame (libas al-shuhra) is clothing that deviates from what people commonly recognize in terms of its color or shape, thereby drawing attention to itself, or that is very poor in quality, or that contravenes Islamic law. The Salaf (pious predecessors) disliked two types of fame-seeking garments: those that were excessively ostentatious and those that were excessively humble. The aforementioned modest clothing (sutra) is not considered a garment of fame.
