They are best dressed, whose dress no one observes.

Summary

This quote suggests that true elegance and style comes from dressing discreetly and subtly, to the extent that one's attire does not draw attention or become the focus of observation. It implies that those who are truly well-dressed are those who possess an effortless and understated sophistication, as opposed to those who seek attention through flamboyant or attention-seeking clothing. The quote highlights the idea that sometimes less is more when it comes to fashion, and that true style lies in the details rather than the showiness of one's outfit.
