About This Book

The manual advises high‑school girls to prioritize practical, modest, and durable clothing for the classroom, arguing that school is a workplace rather than a style show and that simplicity indicates good judgment. It recommends garments with simple lines and washable fabrics—jumper styles with removable underblouses, gingham or linen for easy care—while warning against transparent, delicate, or faddish materials and excessive ornamentation. It also stresses coordinated color, sensible accessories, and careful grooming, especially hair, to produce a unified, serviceable appearance.
