 Be dressed up fit to kill:

The idiom "Be dressed up fit to kill" is a definition used for very elegant and well-dressed people. The word "Be dressed up fit to kill" is used about people who take care of their clothing and attract attention with their elegant clothes. In Turkish it means "Iki dirhem bir çekirdek" It is also a nice compliment to say this word to elegantly dressed people. 

Story of the idiom:

Carob bean is one of the species whose seed does not deteriorate and whose weight does not change among plants in nature. These carob seeds were used as a unit of measurement in the Ottoman and Arab world. The carat expression in the diamond measurement corresponds to an apricot kernel. The seed in the phrase "two dirhams and a seed" is the carob seed. 16 carob seeds were called one dirham. The weight of old gold coins was equal to 2 dirhams and 1 core, that is, it is a kind of gold ascription for a stylishly dressed person.
