There is no shame in being poor, only dressing poorly!
— Zorro, the Gay Blade · 1981

What it means
Our interpretation.
A vain, comic pronouncement that poverty carries no disgrace, while dressing badly does. The joke elevates fashion above finances, treating style as the only moral standard that matters, with the speaker's snobbery played for laughs.
