What Shall We Wear?
(Suggestions taken from Vogue’s Book of
Etiquette.)
What you wear helps to tell who you are.
Too few of us stop to think how far this
matter of the appearance of the person
counts.
To dress in keeping with the general sur
roundings of one’s life, and make no pre
tence about it one way or another is a
pretty safe rule.
The moment one finds oneself dressing
for the kind of part someone else is play
ing, one is dressing vulgarly; for nothing
more surely indicates lack of character and
breeding than for people leading one kind
of life to adopt unbefitting accessories from
people leading another.
There has been a steady trend toward less
formality in world customs, and costume has
been no less affected. Simplicity is the key
note of all dressing.
People do not change their clothes to
change their personality. Many people have
been so much affected by this idea that
when they change from a work costume to
an evening costume, they assume a hyper
sensitive posture, modify their methods of
speech, uttering many unnecessary, gutteral
sounds, acquire short, quick steps, impossible
to maintain throughout their ordinary walk
ing and are snobbish persons, to say the
least. On the contrary, thinking people
change their clothing in order to be clean,
neat, and as attractive as possible when
they meet for whatever occasion is at hand,
and maintenance of personality is first in
consideration.
The Vogue editors have given fine
answers to many questions which are Iteing
asked constantly by a careful society. A
few of these are printed below:
What is good dressing?
Appropriate dressing with good taste. It
is not good dressing to wear anything too
fine for one’s occupation or surroundings.
What arc some c.ram pies of nui/>propriate
dressing f
The wearing of satin or light suede high-
heeled slippers in muddy or snowy streets
or of gay, elaborate clothes for office work.
What are some examples of appropriate
dressi n g f
Perfection of detail, freshness of any
white that shows, cleanness of gloves, well
polished boots, and the trimness of every
day garments.
Is it always necessary to change one’s
clothes for dinner?
It is always well to do so, if possible.
Not to do so is lazy and provincial.
Do women always take off their hats in
theatres?
Yes, because hats interfere with other
people’s view of the stage.
What is good taste in jewelry f
That it should be appropriate. No matter
how becoming precious stones are to a
woman, she would, in the daytime, wear
only such pieces of jewelry as might be
considered suitable with the dress she has
on and the occupation she is pursuing.
Is high polish on finger nails considered
good taste?
Upon the most distinguished fingers, nails
are neither too much colored nor too var
nished looking.
When are gloves necessary?
In the streets and when traveling.
If you have some question that you would
like answered, send it to us and we shall
be glad to answer it through this column.
