According to my 1890's Lady's Book of Manners;
" A worsted dress on a warm day or a white one on a cold day or a light thin one on a windy day are all in bad taste.
Very fine or very delicate dresses worn in the street, or very highly ornamented clothes worn to church, are in bad taste. Very long dresses worn in muddy or dusty weather, even if long dresses are the fashion, are still in bad taste.
Deep and bright-coloured gloves are always in bad taste; very few persons are careful enough in selecting gloves.
Light shoes and dark dresses, white stockings and dark dresses, dark stockings and light dresses, are all in bad taste."
