7 Luxury Items "Elegant Women" Don't Wear... (but I love them)

[@lschultz3022]

Class is character...how you communicate and treat people. Fashion is just expression of mood and personality. You Jess, are classy with lots of personality!

[@adrianna.adrianna]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@Jessiestyle]

😚aw!! thanks lots!

[@TommjRattu]

Bought the clear *HOTDUPS* bag to go to a concert. It was awesome! Got through security easily, and with it crossbody, I could dance and rock out!

[@HereIGoAJen]

Hi Jess! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you don’t take yourself too seriously. I think maybe whoever is saying all or any of those items arent classy and are tacky couldn’t pull them off to begin with because they take themselves too seriously. I like/appreciate every item you discussed. And if wearing my LV monogram makes me happy or putting a bag charm on my bag makes me smile then that’s all that I care about.

[@Jessiestyle]

☺thanks Jen for your thoughts!

[@adrianna.adrianna]

Life is too short to always look classy. Playing with colors and styles, breaking the rules and expressing our individuality in fashion is so much fun.

[@TommjRattu]

Some of my friends own a lot of real luxury brands but live in their own houses. They have their own houses, drive luxury cars, and do buy real mid-size luxury bags, but anything over $1,000, they buy a *HOTDUPS* bag and keep the money in their pockets.

[@mello2365]

The classiest thing you could do is be kind to people, and think before you speak. Someone could be the most minimalist/quiet luxury/old money aesthetic dresser, and on the surface ‘look classy’ (by the standards of certain influencers). However, no matter how ‘well dressed’ a person is… imo if they open their entitled mouth in order to treat service staff rudely/cruelly in a classist manner, expect freebies, or a reserved table/special treatment when the haven’t even booked in the first place whilst wasting other people’s time… that truly is the epitome of tacky. I’m comfortable being a minimal dresser myself. I’ve tried other maximalist styles before, but I feel most relaxed and myself in minimal styles. That being said, I do love seeing others have the freedom to have fun in whatever they want to wear. Variety is the spice of life, and ultimately no matter what aesthetic you love… what matters is your sense of humour, empathy, and personality… you tick all three boxes, Jess!

💯 classiness is mainly to accept others , not being so judgmental and to wear what makes you feel happy

[@baronessboomer3865]

Classy is in the eye of the beholder. I think class refers more to attitude and behavior rather than what you're wearing. And exchange the word tacky for whimsical, especially when you're referring to charming or amusing acessories. 💜

[@Jessiestyle]

very true!! 🌸 thanks !!

[@altacostura3512]

Always love your realistic and self reflexive takes on luxury. As you say: if you like it, wear it!

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks Alta! 😊

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Your style is whimsical, Jessie!

[@Jessiestyle]

💕😍

[@francescathegreat1]

I love cartoons on designer things. It’s whimsical to have charms on a bag and completely gives off a happy vibe! Thanks Jess!

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Yes this is true! You have chosen the same description as me, 'whimsical' is the operative term!

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks Frances!!

[@kerriedunn2573]

"Sometimes I like to dress funny..." Go Jess!

[@Jessiestyle]

hehe thanks!

[@DianeRS66]

If you dress for yourself and not others, and you feel good in your own skin and clothes, that’s all you need! ❤ I love that everyone is different in their own special way.

[@IrisQueen1]

Love this! I love timeless feminine style, but I don’t want to dress in monochrome neutreals everyday😊 I love latin américan music and the style that comes with it and it makes me want to dress in bright bold colours and have fun with it! ❤ Life is too short to follow rules all the time😂

[@hollygrace6814]

everything comes back to how you style and carry yourself

[@KikiCorallie]

Agree with you Jess! Calling myself out here bc I used to watch all those “how to look classy elegant” videos from other influencers and it also influenced me to “hate” on these items you mentioned. But now I’ve become more true to myself. I still love the Hermes clic bracelet and want them in different sizes. I do not like the Cartier live bracelet just on Personal taste but they could be styled elegantly too. I LOVE bag charms 😂😂😂 I’m also staying my own charm collection inspired by you Stay authentic and true to yourself !!!

[@Jessiestyle]

that is one of the most important things you can do!! to be authentic with yourself!

[@CarolCreates]

3:00 I love my Click H bracelets. I have 3 - 2 in rose gold and 1 silver. I’m a casual dresser and I find wearing a Click H subtly elevates my look. I agree with you to have a balance. But sometimes “tacky” is great if you can pull it off 😊

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Whatever style your comfortable with is Whatever you want to do ❤😊

[@MakeupAgain561]

I will never think the LV canvas is not classy. The Click Clack bracelet is so lovely. True- the Birkin will be the aspirational bag for years to come! I love your bag charms! They are so whimsical! I think the person wearing the item is what makes anything classy. A “classy” woman can make wearing a brown paper bag classy by the way she carries herself and her kindness, unpretentious behavior. Like would anyone dare say Audrey Hepburn was not classy if she wore any of these items? No! She was the epitome of class and could wear whatever she wanted and elevate it.🌸

[@Jessiestyle]

loved reading your thoughts makeup!!

[@ballet07]

You are very classy, in my opinion. Every statement you made, I'm right there with you. 😊❤

[@ratgirl13]

Don’t let the “gatekeepers” tell you what classy is, it’s not something you can put on and take off-it comes from within-in my day people went on and on about about being ladylike-and people make things up about such things for whatever reason-anyone can be classy and ladylike no matter how much money they have (or don’t) have fun with your accessories-nothing is tacky if you enjoy buying and having it and wearing it. Also it’s not childish, it’s whimsical.

[@davidsanchez9632]

Those types of videos irk me because its a bunch of non rich people telling us HOW to look rich is honestly pretty ridiculous in itself😂 when did buying things u love and use become tacky? Having your own style is what should be celebrated

[@Chicandstylishbylena]

I think ppl take things to extreme! You can wear an LV canvas bag and look classy, or wear a click h bracelet and looks classy as well. Being classy has nothing to do with wear a specific item IMO. Great video Jess!

[@ruthh8121]

Love this video Jess! Everyone is going to have their own opinions and I am so glad I wasn't brought up that way not to be put in a box of what other people defines but have the freedom to own/wear what you love and yes not to take it seriously! I think that people who can't do fun bag charms probably take themselves too seriously! 😂❤❤❤

[@corikay]

I love the Hermes Clic H bracelet!!!! I wear mine all the time and get compliments on it every time!!! Mine is the thinner version, and I have stacked two of them, but normally it’s one with other bracelets.

[@sheilacarlislepyreneesmom]

Great video!

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Having ‘class’, in regard to fashion, is simply dressing appropriately for the occasion. No you wouldn’t go to business meetings with colourful charms hanging off a bag but you might meet a friend for a weekend brunch while wearing every colour of the rainbow. There are many facets to our personality and we express them in different settings. The only thing I’ve ever found ‘tacky’ are super long, acrylic nails - looking at you, Marc Jacobs 👀.

[@missmaryblack1990]

I love how open you are to all,the.things fun and joyful. Personally, I think the classiest thing is to like what you like and not yucking other people's yum. Classy people don't sht on other people's choices imho.

[@nadja5749]

Love your hairstyle 😍 you look amazing in this video 💕

[@Jessiestyle]

oo thanks!!

[@katherinebrewer4654]

We have a very similar view on this topic. I love the collabs and the whimsical aspects. Bag charms are my life! I want to have a little Xmas tree with Pegasus and rodeo charms one day!

[@Jessiestyle]

oooo!!! thats a good christmas idea!!!

[@shikmabonfil286]

Me leaving the house with my lv bag with Charm on it and my Cartier bracelets don’t care what other people think about it 🎉 ❤

[@nitajoesplaytherapy4639]

I love all your charms ❤❤❤

[@minwade5436]

Hi Jess I wear regular clothes (not designer), but use a bag to make an outfit pop. A tennis & thin love bracelet is hardly a “giant stack”. It’s horses for courses, wear what you want as an individual not what some faux “elegant ladies” YT channel deems “classy”. The old money vibe used to be “cream, beige, black & white” & any tonal variation. None of us are sheep, embrace what you love & be the best version of yourself (some days may be a struggle if unwell). Great vlog. Have a fabulous morning, afternoon or evening 😘💐

[@seabreeze4559]

it's a myth beige is a neutral it's too warm

[@Jessiestyle]

have a fab day too Min!! 😍

[@MissJIF]

You have great points Jess! You're right at work or meetings can't rock a cartoon print, but on your time why not? I like some items labeled "quiet luxury" but as a trend it can get extreme. People can go broke trying to embody this as easily as buying too much unaffordable statement luxury. I'm no princess, there's no trust fund or title backing the clothes😂 Why pretend?

[@Jploveslv]

You deserve a love bracelet, Jess 🥰

[@Jessiestyle]

😂thanks JP!

[@sarahgee6690]

Love this video! I have a set of scrunchies from Fendi and I just love them. Interestingly, the set of two from Fendi was cheaper than getting just one scrunchy from Prada and/or Chanel. ❤

[@crustyrash]

I see the Goyard tote everywhere these days, it’s almost the new “it” bag.

[@user-bg9ws7ys4k]

I would never buy goyard....compared to lv never full the goyard is supermarket ware...

[@MarianaOrsi]

I think a lot of people takes classy as something boring and without personality. But I think it is possible to use cartoons pieces and also elevate the outfit with other things to have a balance.

[@Divinenubian]

Bag charms are cute on some bags, but I don't like too many on one bag. I prefer twillies 😊

[@Restless318]

you are so classic miss Jess fashion what ever we want I so over all those videos

[@Jessiestyle]

☺aw thanks!!

[@sams3015]

Your energy to me is 21st century fun Audrey Hepburn. You always remind me of her (physically) & some elements of your style but then you add whimsy

[@francescathegreat1]

I think Emily in Paris copied Jess vibes.

[@seabreeze4559]

flamboyant gamine?

[@sams3015]

@@francescathegreat1 I can see that …funnily enough

[@constitutionalcarrot3720]

You are still my hero even though we have diametric aesthetics! I’d say my style is masculine - black, blue, grey, green - even gold and etoupe are too light and fluffy for me. I might even start collecting from the men’s section - Hac a Dos will be my B25, videopoches my MK, etc.

[@Jessiestyle]

thanks!!! your style sounds very nice 😊

[@constitutionalcarrot3720]

@@Jessiestyle Thanks! I can’t wait to see you unbox your dream Cartier Love bracelet one day!

[@zeljkabozic]

I like your stile...I am similar although much older

[@mizmelbourne]

I like most of those “non-classy” pieces too, with the exception of scrunchies and cartoon collabs worn outside the house (having said that I did just purchase a snoopy-Uniqlo collab sweatshirt to wear as loungewear)

[@Jessiestyle]

HAHAH yesss!!! I almost bought a kids snoopy uniqlo top the other day but I stopped myself for some reason hahahah

[@mizmelbourne]

@@Jessiestyle that range sold quickly. I went to the store to check it out, but the piece I was interested in was online only so I purchased. A week later I’m online again and notice there’s hardly anything left in the range!

[@mello2365]

ITA re your point about the Margaux… the Birkin is from a well-known heritage brand. Will The Row still retain significance after the Olsen Twins are done there? Who knows! Also, afaik the Margaux isn’t hand stitched, doesn’t have iconic hardware, and I’ve seen some people complain about how flimsy the bag strap attachment area is. I still think the Margaux is a beautiful bag, but for the retail price (which imo doesn’t match the build quality)… I just don’t see it as a ‘future Birkin’. If anything it’s sort of like a current day YSL Sac du Jour. An Hermes Dalvy would imo be a better purchase than a Margaux... sort of similar shape, has a heritage connection, is hand stitched, and cheaper than a Margaux. Definitely a low-key IYKYK bag compared to the viral Margaux.

[@andreav2175]

[@am143-g1m]

It´s not "tacky", it´s playful! Elegance it´s a question of how you carry yourself, not only how you dress, because I know very "elegant" people that dress demure and "classy" and are not elegant at all!!! Elegance is not being boring, the same and unoriginal! In the past, classy ladies used genuine fur coats, Louis Vuitton/Chanel bags, pearls and gold jewerly. Now fur coats are not elegant in this modern vision and logos much less... I´m passionate for history and fashion and I don´t participate in this stupid trends dictated by influencers. So stupid! Btw, love your silk scarf. It´s beautiful on you!

[@nitajoesplaytherapy4639]

I've met so many older classy women who wear monogram LV. I think if you wear a nice bag in any brand you shouldn't roll out of bed and think the bag is going to make up for looking like a mess 😮 basic bracelets are such a nice touch with mostly any outfi.

[@JoleeSO]

Class and money are two entirely different things for sure😊

[@KT-lp1ek]

Quiet luxury....forget that...nothing wrong with letting people know you can afford and others cant.

[@catherinekoja187]

Life is short. Enjoy your cute charms.

[@IceCream-hp7mm]

Isn’t it mostly a confusion of terms? Classy equals cosplay as super wealthy? A lot of examples of quiet luxury dressers are not classy, at all…so yeah… yes to the scrunchies & cartoon collabs, no to the claw hair clips 😂

[@Jessiestyle]

😋 haha!! thanks for your thoughts!

[@1left2live21]

I love jewelry…. I rock two Miami Cuban bracelet daily. One on each wrist.

[@Jessiestyle]

OOoo fancy!

[@meggammacisaacrylie7869]

Classy isn't in what you wear, but how you present yourself. One can be dressed in what is traditionally seen as classy and be a horrible person that no one in their right mind would want to associate with. Also, life is way, too short to worry about that sort of thing, IMHO. Wear what you want, have good people around you and be kind.

[@Jessiestyle]

totally agree!!

[@totesgene]

The Margaux will never reach Birkin status.

[@vivimaria7243]

I never look classy. Even if I try, I look boring and not myself. Classy is not for all! I'd rather look like myself: playful and down-to-earth, with a hint of sensuality.

[@detlef3000]

to me it's always so funny that the ladies, who are making this "how to look classy" content, are not wealthy or classy them self. On the other hand, ladies who do normal fashion content often times appear so much more refined and classy than those pretentious elegance youtubers.

[@Waltaere]

Jeess 😃

[@Jessiestyle]

morning!!!

[@seabreeze4559]

I saw that same video and it was ridiculous. I live in a posh area, a royal area, and yes, people wear scrunchies. Nobody cares. You can tell most of them are just making it up to get clicks so don't worry about it.

[@hollygrace6814]

Dita von teese is the epitome of classy with her fashion sense. and yet she has such style. most of these 'elegance' videos are so freaking boringgggggg .These beige influencers make me fall asleep

[@Jessiestyle]

ture!!! Love Dita's style!! Her house is also amazing!

[@Bananaswatching]

I love Louis Vuitton idc 😁 I hope ppl really do start not liking it so the prices go down and I can buy more hehehe

[@user-mp5ww2bt7q]

Quiet luxury? Why? Flaunting wealth, only upsets the once who have less. - LV monogram is suitable for luggage, but lacking class when used in all other products. Goyard is more expensive and rarer than LV, but still not class. - Hermes H bralette, is a bit last season, new money look and not great quality compared the price. - love bracelets are ok, expensive and classic, to me is class. Nothing tacky about a lady, wearing over $50.000 in bracketed alone. - branded hair accessories, too inexpensive, achievable for everybody, no go. - Birkens will forever be an icon and shout class and money, only once not understanding it, is people who can’t afford it. - a bag charm…!im not into the look, but if one has soo much money to spent on fun, then go ahead! - cartoons? Not classy for an adult. But hey, each to their own!

[@deborahcurtis1385]

BTW I'm not a fan of the click clack Hermès bracelet, it's too generic and it scratches very easily. So I see no point to it.

[@Jessiestyle]
