Ruby obviously dresses the most modestly, given she's the youngest and doesn't really seem to care too much about appearances, but Weiss always presents herself in a very "proper" manner, always using proper, refined grammar, never wearing anything too "obscene" or revealing, and while she does tend to have an attitude, she has been working on that a lot, and will probably grow to become a people person once she's improved her social skills.

If you look at all of the other female characters in the show (aside from Ruby and Penny), they all tend to dress a little more "out there", so they stick out in a crowd, and their personal presentations are much more abrupt and less "refined". I can see where you're coming from. She is a symmetrical, elegant person who appreciates order and class, and she doesn't wear outlandish clothing. It's especially evident when you look at characters like Emerald, Roman, and oddly enough, Blake (who really stands out, I think, especially with her Intruder outfit).

Weiss' ponytail, meant as a symbol of her rebellious nature, however, defies that image, which illustrates what I like about her appearance as well as her personality. She's a complex person with many layers, but it's not always obvious.
