Bedeutung
Putting on clothes.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Dressing 'politely' (แต่งตัวสุภาพ) is not just about fashion; it's about showing respect to the host or the institution. In temples, this means covering shoulders and knees. Uniforms are mandatory from kindergarten to university. The act of 'แต่งตัว' for a student is very standardized and strictly enforced. Some Thais still choose their clothes based on the auspicious color of the day (e.g., Yellow for Monday). This influences how people 'แต่งตัว' for important meetings. Many Thai offices have 'Casual Fridays' where employees can 'แต่งตัวสบายๆ' (dress comfortably), but Monday to Thursday is usually quite formal.
Complimenting
Adding 'จัง' (jang) after 'แต่งตัวสวย' or 'แต่งตัวหล่อ' makes the compliment sound very natural and friendly.
Temple Dress
Always 'แต่งตัวสุภาพ' when visiting religious sites. No shorts or tank tops!

The 'Style' Shortcut
If you want to say someone has good style, just say 'แต่งตัวเก่ง' (tàng-dtua gèng) - literally 'good at dressing'.
Uniforms
Don't be surprised to see adults in uniforms; it's a huge part of 'แต่งตัว' in Thai professional life.
