My Emily Post book from 1940 advises readers not to attract attention to themselves. It also advises women who are in doubt to "wear the plainer dress."
I'm not sure if I read it there or somewhere else, but someone said that by overdressing, you show that you don't have anyplace else to wear your nicer clothes.
