"The robe of the righteous is white".
We never wear big clog shoes. We never wear out our shoes.
We should not wear more than three colors at a time.
We never go out of our homes without the proper head covering. We may wear our headpiece or hat (M.G.T.). We do not have any hair what-so-ever sticking out of our headpiece. We strive to always be with the garment the Messenger designed for us when leaving our houses.
We wear a camisole top and ankle length petti pants under all our garments. (We wear a long slip under a lost-found long skirt.)
We wear conservative clothes. We wear soft pastel shades
We always have our clothes neatly pressed and immaculately clean. Shoes shined and properly soled. Pocket books clean and shined.
We are not dressed if we do not have gloves. A well-dressed M.G.T. does not leave her home without her gloves, as she knows that gloves complete her garment.
Our nails should be trimmed and clean.
We do not wear hanging earrings as this is out of place with the refined and tailored M.G.T. look (they may be worn at home).
Our hair should be clean, combed and well-groomed.
Our teeth should be given daily care in the form of teeth brushing and Bi-annual visits to the Dentist.
We make sure the day before we wear a garment, that it is properly mended where mending is needed.
We must have our garments well tailored. As it is undignified to wear a garment that does not fit properly or that is made improperly.
We must strive to look clean, neat, well-pressed and well-tailored each and every day. Not just for special occasions. For when we appear in public, they (the public) do not look at us merely as individuals but rather, they see us as representatives of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. You will hear them say daily, "there's one of them Muslim sisters, you know the Muhammad followers." As Muslim sisters, we must give a good impression of Islam and our leader and teacher, whenever we leave our home.
We must remove spots and soil from our garments, check our hemlines and necklines to make sure they are in good order.
