Clothes that are in Good Taste

"Good taste is not a matter of luck. To have good taste, a girl must develop an understanding of colour, its harmonies and contrasts. She must have imagination, a sense of proportion, a flair for line, a knowledge of fit. She needs an eye for design, an appreciation of texture, and some initiative in using jewelry and other accessories in an individual way. Simplicity – a clean-cut, uncluttered look– is the keynote of good taste.
Knowing what to wear for different occasions is art of good taste. As a general rule, wear a hat and gloves to church, to a wedding, to a funeral, when a guest at an afternoon tea, and to ceremonies of a formal nature. Wear them when traveling by train, plane or bus. Gloves, with or without a hat, are usually worn on a city street, summer or winter.
Jewelry can add or mar the harmonious effect of a costume. Pearls have come to be acceptable for wear with virtually everything. Plain metal jewelry is for school an street wear. Colored stones, brilliantly cut, should be reserved for dress-up clothes. Rhinestones are correct for evening wear and for dressy afternoon affairs."

Clothes that are in Good Order

"The time you spend in keeping your clothes neat, clean and in good order is time well spent. You also look better and feel better when you know that your clothes are neat, clean and in repair. Having your clothes in good order encourages a feeling of security, because there is no need to wonder if a hem is down, if a missing button is conspicuous by its absence, or if spot is noticeable.

Being "casual" in what you wear does not mean being careless. "
