presentability
Fit for viewing
Presentability is the quality of being fit to be seen or shown to others.
It suggests meeting minimum standards of appearance, cleanliness, or order: She questioned the presentability of her apartment before the guests arrived.
The word often implies just-adequate rather than impressive—good enough not to cause embarrassment.
