Question Help......About " The West Wing" (2)

How do I understand the phrase " getting spruced up " in this context? Can you give me a few examples about how to use this phrase? Thanks a lot for your help!!!


CUT TO: INT. JOSH'S BULLPEN AREA - DAY
Donna is standing in front of Josh, holding out a fresh shirt and tie.

JOSH
No.

DONNA
Put it on.

JOSH
No.

DONNA
Put it on.

JOSH
No.

DONNA

You’ve been wearing the same clothes for 31 hours now, Josh.

JOSH [OS]
I am not getting spruced up for these people, Donna.

DONNA
All the girls think you look really hot in this shirt.

Josh grabs the shirt and tie. Donna walks out of the office into the corridor.

DONNA
[calling out] Bonnie!

BONNIE [OS]
Yeah?

DONNA
Tell Toby he’s changing his shirt.
