Woman leaving the home wearing attractive clothing

Q: When a woman covers herself when leaving her home, is it forbidden for her to cover herself with clothes which are decorated or clothes which have patterns or clothes which have designs? Would it be permissible for the clothes to be decorated or have patterns or have designs to a very small extent? If yes, what would be regarded as a very small extent?

A: A woman who leaves her home should leave in clothing that is unattractive, in fact somewhat untidy.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
