The Poetry of Dress
Robert Herrick, 1648

A sweet disorder in the dress
     Kindles in clothes a wantonness:--
     A lawn about the shoulders thrown
     Into a fine distractión,--
     An erring lace, which here and there
     Enthrals the crimson stomacher,--
     A cuff neglectful, and thereby
     Ribbands to flow confusedly,--
     A winning wave, deserving note,
     In the tempestuous petticoat,--
     A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
     I see a wild civility;--
     Do more bewitch me, than when art
     Is too precise in every part.
