Summary "Appropriate Clothes for the High School Girl" by Virginia M. Alexander is a guide written in the early 20th century. This book offers valuable insights and recommendations regarding suitable attire for high school girls, emphasizing the distinction between appropriate school wear and more elaborate fashions suited for social events. The book serves as an informative resource aimed at promoting good taste and practicality in the clothing choices of young women. In this booklet, the author discusses the evolution of fashion among high school girls and critiques the tendency for extravagant dressing in school environments. Alexander asserts that a school is a place for learning and development rather than a venue for fashion displays. She advocates for dresses made from durable materials that allow freedom of movement, recommending styles that are both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Key themes include the ideas of simplicity, individuality based on one’s body type, and the importance of personal comfort and health in clothing choices. The book also touches on the significance of appropriate undergarments and accessories, illustrating how they contribute to a well-rounded and tasteful appearance for young women.
