What does it mean to dress in a way that reflects cultivation and virtue?

The phrase "to wear clothes to carry the way, cultivate the body and bright virtue" is a traditional cultural concept that emphasizes that dressing is not only to cover the body, but is also a kind of cultivation and moral character. This phrase implies that one's dress should conform to social customs, reflect one's own taste and cultivation, and one should be careful not to be overly ornate or revealing. By doing so, a person can show his or her inner qualities and virtues on the outside, thus gaining recognition and respect from the society. This concept is very important in traditional Chinese culture and is still widely inherited and applied today.
