decorous
is another word for

decorous
is far less common and deals exclusively with what is considered socially acceptable or in good taste.
Decorous
is defined as “characterized by dignified propriety in conduct, manners, appearance, or character,” and it emphasizes a careful respectfulness, as in one’s behavior or language.
