Keep in mind that Spaniards consider personal charm and first impression immensely important. The company is being judged through the prism of a representative. Thus, demeanor and appearance are no less significant than the quality of the product itself.

Clothing is related to this as it creates social status in the eyes of Spaniards, similarly to a house or a car. They have a liking for classic elegance without significant eccentricities. It is a matter of course for men to have a perfectly cut suit made of first-class fabric with clean shoes. Women show up mostly in classy costumes on official occasions. In the autumn and winter, they like to present their expensive fur coats. Perfect appearance means impeccable make-up and clothing, which is typical even for informal matters such as shopping for both men and women.

One has to be more conscientious than usual during packing their luggage. Negligent clothing can cast doubt on the firm's condition or one's position in the company.

May I ask what is wrong with the expression "a matter of course"? I found that this was exactly the meaning I wanted to express.

I imagine the original message was that the clothes are crumbled from packing the luggage if one is not careful enough. Does this still qualify as "poor clothing"? Because that's why I said "negligent". Maybe "sloppy" could be an alternative. What do you think?

Can we say if something is less or more eccentric? In the sentence above, I wanted to say "more eccentric". I am not sure how to express this.

Where did you find this phrase? It makes no sense to me here.
