Sunday Best

Phrase used to describe one's finest clothing.

How It's Used

"Once upon a time, traveling by air was fun. Passengers dressed in their Sunday finery. They were able to board their flights without disrobing at security checkpoints, and meals were still served on china with real silverware, including knives."

J. Lynn Lunsford, "Even Coach Was Nice: Recalling an airline era when the skies really were friendly," The Wall Street Journal, 15 May 09, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124234128426421219.html.
