Morphology
The meaning 'a neat and well-organized look' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'tidy' (clean, well arranged) with 'appearance' (outward look). This adjective + noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Tidy appearance comes from the simple image of someone fixing their clothes and hair to make a tidy and neat appearance before meeting others. That's why it means 'a neat and well-organized look'.
