Be neat, Philothea; let nothing be negligent about you. It is a kind of contempt of those with whom we converse, to frequent their company in uncomely apparel; but, at the same time, avoid all affectation, vanity, curiosity, or levity in your dress.”

I read somewhere that he also said that a Catholic should be the best-dressed in any company, but I forgot where I read it and couldn’t find a direct quote.
