Where it comes from and what it means

Bon ton (good tone) is a term that comes from French and everyone knows it as the label that consists in defining the behavioral rules that are the basis of a good education. It indicates what to do or not to do in certain situations, among other things how to behave in society or at the table, for example how and when to start eating, how to toast or ask for salt, how to approach certain types of pasta such as cutlery or how to place the napkin. With the passage of time, however, the various meanings have been extended and today, if we heard about bon ton, we would think not only of education, but also of a particular style or, better to say, fashion.
