What we call standards shouldn't have much to do with "frumpiness" or how we look to others. Wouldn't that be a matter of pride? What we call standards should be about how we appear to God. I look frumpy in anything I wear!

The answer is quite the opposite. In most cases it provides a FEELING (or an illusion) that the inward holiness is there, without it actually being so. All because the attention is so laser focused on the
externals based on a written or unwritten church rule book.
