I might try to find some flats with black toe. I have seen them in another French ladys KZbin chanel, and they are really nice. My crocs are only for the garden, I then chose comfort over elegant. In the cold winter of Norway I will still chose warm over elegant too, I have my very frown upon seal skin boots, but I need them to keep warm in the winter.

Great video. The keywords here are French elegance. Going to a prize ceremony, first dinner with potential in-laws, job interview at a fancy workplace, upmarket art gallery opening... these kinds of occasions. We don't have to be elegant all the time, but when we need to be, these are perfect tips. I have lived in France - outside Paris - and you are absolutely right. I feel that nowadays people are trying too hard to express their personality through flashy clothes. Elegance is not boring, nor is it taking away one's personality - it's letting your intellect, kindness and other qualities shine. But when you don't have those, it's true that the clothes need to do all the 'shouting'. Keep up the great work.. Loving your videos so far 🙂

Or maybe it's quite the opposite. A well-thought-out style with bright accents requires much more intelligence, erudition and courage than dressing in clothes with a complete lack of any character. Elegance is a good word to cover up your mediocrity and at least due to this to feel a little higher than others, which these people who wrinkle their noses at any bright accessory clearly really want. And of course, the more complexes a person has in his head, the more he tries to go out of his way to give the impression of belonging to a higher economic stratum.

I agree about so many points, but I think there is a couple of warnings to underline. First one: classic is classy, but it always needs a touch of fresshness not to become old and a little boring, expecially if you're in your sixties and over. Second one, what you wear needs to be coherent with who you are. As an artist I feel the need to always have a "point of interest" in my outfit, may be just an unconventional jewel or a surprising colour in my very classic shoes or bag, for example . It might as well be anything else, but I need it. And you have to cope with your body, too. For example I love flats and ballerinas and wouldn't wear anything else... but I'm petite: if I wear too low heels with a formal dress I don't look elegant at all and seem to be wearing slippers. So sad but so true! 🥹 Thank you for your video, it's always a pleasure to have a nice talk about style, isn't it? 🌹

I'm 68, and I can certainly relate. I'm actually afraid of falling if my heels are too high! My way of coping is wearing a flat with just a hint of a heel - maybe one inch. I just bought a pair of shoes that have a heel of over two inches, and will probably save them for dressier occasions, but the heel that they have is a bit chunkier than most, and, therefore gives me a bit more confidence than a skinnier high heel would.

Classic isnt boring it is timeless. Thats why its classic. There is a difference between old frumpy and stuffy ... and classic. If you believe in yourself you dont need flashy. If you are very artistic and expressive it could be you dont want to express yourself as understated which is perfectly wonderful and fits your style and creative intelligence. Classic is understated and maybe understated doesnt reflect the freedom you want to express who you are. What is considered elegant does have a constricting restricting element to it as its associated with money status and certain restrained inhibited behaviour relegated to societal constructs and expectations. At the same time plastic carries a cheap image not just related to price but to its identity, and lack of innate value and beauty.

@@FuchsiaFire444 a personal touch can be a silk foulard, a bag or a pair of shoes with a surprising color or pattern, as Pucci teached us many years ago. Or a vintage jewel, as well. As for plastics... Iris Apfel nobilitated it, with her unique talent for mixing and matching rich and poor materials. She was a queen of style and followed her own personality, I don't think it's a good idea to try and clone her. But one of her incredible pieces alone is able to upgrade an outfit, even the most classic of them.

I am very petite (5'0") and hardly ever wear flats, but the thing is when it comes to a heel, a platform is much more comfortable. I like it best when they are an inner platform (meaning covered with leather and built into the shoe rather than stuck on the bottom) and this type of shoe does not have the look of stripper heels which is an extreme look. I've heard this before about platforms, and if comfort wasn't an issue, I like the look of sleeker shoes better probably, but they kill my feet in a fraction of the time.

Merrill if the hiking look is AOK for your use purpose (they’re 3 season, non-Alpine hiking boots). TODs, if price is no object and if not put off by their cautions on at least some boots and shoes (and handbags/briefcases), on “avoiding water.” Some TOD boots I got that look like some “young people’s” ideal of fashion, and that everyone I consulted told me to KEEP, including for wear under trouser suits etc. are superb in terms of COMFORT. The TODs boots are apparently often made with comfort in mind (and not only their flat “driving shoe” which is great if your feet aren’t already too far gone…). They don’t look like what to wear “for first impressions” unless rocking a “cool” vibe will work. They DO “fit” in multiple senses for other city/business use scenarios. They can be worn hiking but are not hiking boots… definitely rec serious hiking boots like LOWA, or MERRILL, for serious outdoor sports esp LOWA for Winter (made in or via Germany, available via CT and AZ stores and online in USA). GOOD LUCK.

Although I agree with the esthetic point of classy looking shoes, one thing a lot of these aren't is practical or better yet healthy for your body (we are talking joints, posture, bone structure etc.) I believe it is more than ok to wear them from time to time but is not something that should be worn daily 'cause in a long run they are not good for your body

VIVAIA shoes are superb in terms of comfort, and one can even wash them in a washing machine on their own of course. (One cannot dry them in a machine however… leave in a shaded place to dry). Most are made from recycled plastic (bottles etc), though they do not appear to be. Great shoes for feet healing from injuries, late recovery from surgery, bad bunions, etc. They are not THE most beautiful shoes, however I’m very glad these shoes made your list due to their simplicity and perhaps also to give those who can’t worry only about the appearance of their shoes an extra option… (with your mark of approval). PS VIVAIA doe shoes and boots come in many colors, which is “fun.” PLUS EASY TP SMASH INTO A SUITCASE without any worry about damaging them!

What I noticed about your makeup is the LACK of it. I am 68, and completely agree with this. It took me years to get here. When I was young, I wore WAY too much makeup, instead of just accenting my natural beauty. Now it's just a touch of concealer for my under eye circles, some cream blush, eyebrow pencil, and lipstick. For evening, I add a touch of eye shadow and mascara. And that's it! Oh, and sunscreen moisturizer - I have worn this for 40 years! By the way, Vivaia shoes are lovely, and they make them in Narrow width, if you need them! How refreshing! If you are also a Narrow foot, you could try Vaneli, although they are a bit pricey! (I get them vintage). For sneakers, I always order a regular width, but one half size up, allowing for movement when you walk fast, and, because you can pull the laces tighter, this pretty much takes care of the width issue. If you were a narrow width and ordered narrow in sneakers, you would find that the shoes would fit too tightly with a sport sock. I keep praying that shoe manufacturers don't stop making Narrow width shoes. They seem so hard to find!

I don't like the chuncky sneaker but this one is more like a platform and with a light bell bottm or boot leg it looks more refined. I do like the suede booties with the lace. I have them and pair them with a pair of jeans with a blazer or blazer like sweather with a nice loose scarf it is quite elegent I feel no to showy.

Bought my first pair of Vivaia flats a couple of months ago. My only real complaint would be the “no blister” pad at the back, which actually gave me the worst blisters ever. The fake suede inside produced balls of lint that made my skin blister within 15 minutes during my first wear; they even rubbed holes into the protective skin tape I applied, and dislodged bandaids. I advise applying some friction prevention cream (got a stick from the pharmacy), VERY GENEROUSLY, so that it absorbs into the fake-suede fabric over the first few wears. Another minus would be that there’s no genuine leather at all, and I find the interior of shoes much more comfortable and breathable with leather insoles and lining. But they definitely feel great in the front part, especially not compressing my bunion. The rubber sole feels a bit heavy, but absorbs shock pretty well. Now that they don’t skin my heel raw, they’re great flats, and very stylish ✨

Just found your channel. Love the ideas in these videos. Re: Vegan shoes - Vegan shoes are typically made from plastic. I understand vegans believe we humans should not harm creatures for our pleasure (style, food, etc.). But vegan shoes (and handbags) put plastic into the oceans and landfills, so creatures are still being harmed. I hadn't given much thought to my beloved sneakers being mostly plastic. Food for thought. I will have to rethink the sneakers I buy. Thanks for your channel.

There are many vegan shoe and handbag options now that are not “plastic” (or are made from recycled plastic) and are beautiful! You just have to look for them.

As a vegan I weigh up the impact of everything I consume carefully. My main aim is not to eat anything made from animals because that is very much a daily decision that could cause the greatest harm. In the same way I try to buy my food plastic- free. My shoes are a quite different matter. I usually buy my hiking boots every seven years or so. Even if they are leather they often have plastic elements (for example - the soles). I wear canvas pumps throughout summer and they generally stay looking nice for several summers. They are machine-washable too! It is a challenge to be plastic-free. I imagine even you find it challenging to find berries in cardboard containers or to buy all your daily groceries plastic free. I'm incredulous that people always zoom in on vegans and the plastic shoes they may, or likely don't, buy once every few years.

Nice video and great info! Imho opinion ballet flats are not nice or flattering (pun inntended) at all, just a little better than crocs, but just as Lazy, sleepers that are somehow allowed to be worn outside. There are a thousand options to replace them (you showed them) it surprises me to see them in an elegant shoe list. Fortunately for me I don't see them often since they're not trendy anymore as they were a few years ago.

I HIGHLY recommend Jeneba Barrie (she is also a lawyer) shoes; I own two pairs since I tan easily to match my skin in summer and winter. She offers a very large range of skin tones, in multiple heel heights including flats. I ordered the leather swatch book (the cost is credited to your first order) to be sure I got the best match. The shoes are beautifully made.

I'm enjoying your channel so much and, about this video, I'm stuck with the boots with laces. Not only because I love them too, but because of the sexy thing. I don't know... I feel more like sporty/traditional when using mine. Maybe not elegant, but definitely not sexy at all. They are not exactly soldier boots, they are dark-brown ankle oval lace boots and they evoke to me something earthbound, something solid, neutral and safe, and they flatter my silhuette in some balanced and discreet way. They are not chunky, you know? About the other items: I perfectly got your point and they all make sense to me and I couldn't agree more - there is a reason why I don't go outside with my home crocs after all. :D

It really depends on your lifestyle. I love my new balance 990v5. I wear it when I walk my dog or when I go food shopping. Of course I also wear sling backs, Mary Janes and boots when I go out but most of the shoes you’ve shown is either tacky or doesn’t suit many body types.

I think she did not refer to dog walking, or gardening (Crocs). That said, having worked for many years in France, their elegant shoes are designed for walking long distances, over cobblestone streets and up and down a lot of stairs. This means the arch is supported, the sole has discreet padding and the angle at ball of feet is not as sharp, even if the heel is high. The wonderful thing is that because they are easy to walk in, people walk A LOT. Taking elevators for less than three floors is considered morally lax. So, overall, you will see far fewer people having a certain body type.

There are certainly situations where being elegant is not a priority. For some people, it's never a priority. If being comfortable is your priority, go for it, especially when it comes to your feet. JMO, of course.

I live in Toronto and have noticed lately (since the pandemic) that sneakers, even chunky ones, are much more acceptable in the office. Even senior lawyers wear them sometimes to see clients, which I have a hard time doing myself. I wear sneakers to walk to work but change into more elegant shoes when I get there. I do own shoes in flashy colours but always in a classic style.

@@valerina01 The white sneaker (even clunky) are seen much more often since the pandemic in non-casual and non-sporty situations. However, senior lawyers in Toronto meeting clients is a surprise. Was surprised to see so many young women in dresses and large white sneakers in Italy last year and this, but they looked put-together and comfortable, though not exactly elegant.

@@hm4184 to be fair, I am referring to in-house corporate lawyers, not senior partners at law firms. But then again, the men hardly wear ties anymore so the whole business vibe is much more casual. Maybe the pendulum will swing back.

Great tips for those who like the "French", elegant, classy style but could never get it right. Of course there's no law that you should always look like that. Maybe that's just not who you are. Maybe you're an artist or an athlete or into subculture and that's ok! I never realized about the "teacher boots" btw, didn't even know that they're called that, so thank you
