What "CLASSY" Really Is?

[@zhangwenyue604]

For me,classy is about good quality fabric and good tailoring,bright colors are not a problem.But like Aly said it varies,for example,Queen Elizabeth II looks classy when she wears bright colors.

[@Woo_Woo_Woman]

Yes, it depends on your natural season. I'm a soft autumn and those colors look good on me. Something bright like bright winter is much too intense while on a natural bright winter type they look magnificent. It's all about finding our seasonal color palettes.

[@DearYoungerSelf111]

For me, I am a deep autumn - all the colors she named when she searched classy are apart of my color palette and are colors that I have worn over the years (pre color analysis) - and was often called plain Jane but now I know different!

[@franci-uz]

agreeed

[@TigraZacra]

Yes I agree with @PAX because classy means you are able to get things tailored to you, aka you are also able to afford clothing only in your natural season and colors that don't clash with you. Classy means you are able to afford clothing that is personalized to you. That is why you don't need distracting embellishments and quirky cuts...you are only showing off the quality of how your items are uniquely yours because you can afford it. You don't have to get creative with styles to hide or show different things...you are elegant and only have items that are perfect.

[@luzguerrero1530]

Does she? Just because is her? I don't think so.

[@CeliaCavalli]

I have friends who buy at thrift stores for low price but they are able to spot quality made items that look incredible. It’s all in the eye for it. The cut, the fabric, the seams…

[@lauragoreni3020]

It also depends on the thrift store. Thrift stores in London, Paris, Tokyo or other big cities, sure they might have lots of cool stuff. Thrift stores in my ugly small ass town only have clothes you'd be ashamed to be seen wearing in public.

What you said about bright colors is so true. When I didn't know my season (deep winter) I used to wear neutral colors like beige and I looked I'll all the time but didn't know why. Now, I have red and electric blue elegant dresses that I think that suit me much better and I think that I look classy on them.

[@mariannerichard1321]

I wonder whether Kibbe and McJimsey's "classic" derived for "classe" and "classy"... because it really look like the recommandation for Classics, simple cut, not too much fuse, thoughtful colors which don't jump in your face first thing you enter a room. Simple but well crafted jewelry carefully chosen... As a Romantic, these always look absolutely dull and boring on me, I definitely need more punch to shine, but on my Classic friends, these always look stunning.

[@svs2914]

Agree! I was thinking about Kibbe body types and "classy" and I had deep thoughts since I am gamine, and dull colors, too much blending do not look good on me. 😊

[@schneeroseful]

With Kibbe, the name of the type is actually the recommendation. Classics look good in classic clothes, the recommendation for natural is often natural (materials, hair texture, make up etc), same as romantic.

[@AB-sm1qf]

I’m a Romantic and anything minimalist or simplistic like that makes me look like a trollop. 😂 It makes all the juicy stuff pop out and make me look like a little kid wearing her grandma’s clothes. But my two SC besties look so sexy in the stuff. While the things that suit me makes them feel like Stevie Nicks in the 1970s.

[@turkoizdog]

I like that you touched on "anti-classy" trends and where they came from. There's some amount of countersignalling too. Ripped jeans used to be thought of as more working class, but now jeans that are "artfully distressed" cost more, so it's associated with wealth. Also there's some amount of, "I'm so rich I don't even have to show off" or otherwise trying to not look nouveau rich.

[@labornurse]

True, most truly wealthy people will downplay it a bit.

[@lavenderbee3611]

Ripped jeans are not classy in my book, I don't care that rich people spend loads of money to look like that.

[@purplelove3666]

They have already done a good job looking trashy lol,you can tell now,you dont even have to wait 20 or 50 yrs later

[@imscanon]

Classy, like sexy, is more an attitude than something you wear or buy. You can't buy class. It's in the way you carry yourself and the respect you give to others and it's knowing your worth without having to tell anyone your worth. A classy person is generally well put together without being showy (unless it's formal night), not too many logos (definitely not covered in them). They remain calm and composed no matter what's happening. If you see someone yelling at a barista, they aren't a classy person. Both classy and sexy are internal rather than external. A classy woman could be covered in dirt wearing overalls gardening and still be both sexy and classy. If it's not IN you, you don't have it. I see so many young women in their sky high heels hunched over and awkward walking in bodycon dresses with their hair extensions and lip fillers and they couldn't be further from sexy or classy. That isn't what it is. You don't wear it. You ARE it. It's a self knowledge, self acceptance and self awareness. It has nothing to do with money as a poor person can have a boatload of class and sexiness. It's not about designers, but appreciating quality in things and in yourself. It's being the bigger person, the kind person, the respectable person, and the dependable person. It's the best you.

I think too that people can take inexpensive items and make them look classy. I think it's how someone carries themselves as well and their attitude. I do like some classy looks, but to me it's a different way of living or lifestyle. I'm an average person that has to do every day tasks. I'm not going to dress classy for those things, plus I think I look better in relaxed items and love my curly/wavy messy hair 😂 It looks better than when I straighten or blow dry it. I think people need to embrace who they are and not strive for something that's just not them. Be yourself and don't think of life as a competition. ❤

[@sally-annparker6744]

The term ‘nouveau riche’ is a deragatory term used by entitled people to attempt to maintain a particular social order in which they themselves have a vested interest in maintaining. It’s to try keep those who have succeeded through their own merits in their place. There’s nothing to say those who have made their own money through hard work or talent are less ‘classy’ (cheap sounding word if you ask me) than those whose forbears made their money. Personally, I have more admiration for those who’ve done it themselves than those who had it handed to them on a silver platter. And beauty is a beauty does. ‘Classiest’ people are those with good manners who are kind and considerate to others. They may not be beautifully dressed. But real class transcends garb.

[@molls127]

right!!!! it doesn't matter what you wear, it matters how you treat those around you. i feel like aly sometimes makes assumptions about people from what she has seen in movies and magazines that might not be the most accurate and it comes off as judgemental. i am not sure if it is a cultural divide but i do not think she is trying to sound that way. some people do not care about what people will think of their style and I think it is important to cater primarily to those who do rather than judge those who do not

[@luckystone2293]

Perfectly put. I'm quite sick of hearing people equate inherited money with class.

[@karinlawrence6500]

I enjoyed this thoughtful and highly original video very much! Largely because the "upper class" is today comprised mostly of those of great wealth - rather than good pedigree - the classes are increasingly fluid. With wealth we can all move up and, if we lose our wealth, we go down. And it can happen faster than ever before. I feel that as a result we've arrived at a time in which it's far easier to identify that which IS NOT classy, rather than what is. (Rather like the "non-U" words of the 1950's, which immediately identified one's place in society.) I would suggest that in the very near future, plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures that exaggerate parts of the face or body will be considered an indicator of one's very SELF not being "classy". (Large implants in the breasts, behind, lips and cheeks, for example.) In the near-past such "enhancements" were only available to movie stars, celebrities and the very rich... but now they are available to many. And anything that is easily available to the masses soon ceases to be desirable... and finally becomes "cheap". (For this very reason many once-favoured luxury brands of the wealthy have now lost their cachet.) Coco Chanel was perhaps supreme in her understanding of the nature of style, elegance and of fashion, and she said: “Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.” So perhaps the lack of any trace of the vulgar or common is what we are perceiving when we consider a person or thing as being "classy"?...

[@bic00]

You're absolutely right about cosmetic surgery, celebrities are already giving it up (Kim Kardashian, for example).

[@augusto7681]

I don't know. Maybe some kind of expensive body modification will become the new trend for the rich and a definite way to divide the classes. I feel we will get more crazy before "natural is the new chic". We simply can't sell "natural" for people you need something to sell to feel vip. Maybe with new technology we will revert age in a celular level and people with 70 years old will literally look 20 forever. This would be expensive as f**k and ageing would become the ultimate sign of not being wealthy.

Very well said, I believe “classy” is when that person doesn’t blend in with the crowd, but in a good way, because they rise above all the trends and just wear what looks good on them and only high-quality.

I can imagine 😆 Some night clubs are pretty classy/expecting expensive clothing, others not so much/more bent toward another style where "classy" might look a bit out of place. Maybe try something simple and clean-cut PAIRED with something sort of flashy? (But not gawdy.) That might help with the office-like aura. Bold jewelry, a little color in your makeup, heels you would certainly NOT see in an office setting ;) Just some examples. The rest of your outfit could stay a little more on the conservative side in it's simplicity and let the accessories do the talking while at the same time it helps the whole look not come across as too loud or cheap 🤷‍♀️ I guess it would depend on what you pair with what.

[@FreshCreativeFrog25]

The thing that changed my life was to get things from the source. On Pinterest, search up things like "1960's Sears catalogue" or "1950s Montgomery Ward catalogue." You will find *authentic* pictures of what people dressed like in that time period/ what was advertised to the avgerage person during that era. Not only do you see the clothes (texture, fit, colurs etc) but you also can see how they did their hair and makeup. Those catalogues are all great because they show that colourful clothes can be extremely classy and eyecatching when done right. *DO NOT* look up "classy outfits" or "old hollywood outfits." *DO NOT* search up "how to be elegant" or "how to be classy" on KZbin. It cannot be understated that the results you will find are significantly different from what you were initially intending to find because what comes up are pictures from bloggers who post about what THEY *think* is "classy": no colours, all neutrals, etc etc. It's not authentic, it's regurgitated over and over again. Also, it's a one way ticket to look exactly like everyone else because how many other girls do you think are searching up the exact same thing as you? A huge mistake I see people make is they search up "classy work outfits" and they go with the first few things that pop up. This isn't the best because truth be told, people these days really DO NOT know how to dress in terms of fit, colour, hair styling, makeup, etc. Going with what a random trend-following blogger suggests will not give you the same results as taking inspiration from an authentic 1950s catalogue. DIG DEEP and look for AUTHENTICITY when considering class. Class is simply a way of being, not a way of dressing. When you listen to music, you will know this. When you listen to how people speak, you will know this.

Classy doesn't mean expensive. Type 1960s London or even 1970s NY or California. Do you see the contrast? In general people were classy compared to now. The clothes are not sloppy the people are put together. People were cognizant that there is a difference in dressing out in public that around the house. Even the medical profession, like nurse wore dresses, hats, nylons and polished shoes. Now they look like they're in pjs and it shows in the sloppy attitude. The hair colors were in general solid, blonde, brunette or red head, not with many tones which can look dirty.

And they spent far less than nowadays we would to achieve that polished yet simple appearance, money can’t buy you class and distinction !

[@ellakaraban7136]

Classy is a way of thinking about the world and yourself. If you feel the constant need to change your outer self by following the trends you can never be timeless. It is also a matter of taste.

Freaking love this video so much. Thank you for taking the time and effort to educate.

Am glad you mentioned the contributions from different cultures that are "hidden" in plain sight in what we now call modern art. Mostly we think it is European due to lack of history, when in reality many cultures from different parts of the world makeup the modern style that we have but little or no credit goes to them.

im a theatrical romantic, fitted and bright and ornate always look classier than anything washed out or plain.

I have bought $20 jeans that were better made than my $1000 jeans 👖🤷‍♀️ just saying we are all different shapes and sizes and different brands fit better than others and for me a good pair of jeans tailored to fit me right can be cheap but may be better quality for my body shape. Does that make sense?

To me class is all about demeanor. It doesn’t matter if you dress impeccably and then you’re rude and a show off

rude is relative if somebody starts on you, self-defence isn't rude

Thanks for the interesting videos. It's interesting Thinking about 'classy' as a way of identifying class vs looking elegant. Maybe an addition to the list of synonims - that opposite of classy could be crass?

PLS one video on how to look classy for the body types, expecially SOFT NATURALS! I feel they always look like "undone" / SHABBY

[@dragonnymph]

love love love your video topics!

[@isabelleskiss]

What many do not know: The story of how a strong guy came to power over the country describes the emergence of the knighthood (which were often robber barons too in the beginning!). But in the very early times, even before the Middle Ages, the kings were mostly elected by their tribes, only later did the practice emerge that the claim to power is inherited.

Can someone tell me who the woman is next to Priyanka in the video?

[@CampLJNC]

I only watched and "liked" this video because you made it, and I always find your stuff interesting. However, I never look good in "classy" stuff. It never fits well, and I find it looks so boring on me. Give me the bright colors! And at least something interesting to wear. I think I'm a Theatrical Romantic in the Kibbe system, perhaps with some ethereal thrown in, that might explain my looks/feelings.

[@unrulycrow6299]

I dress in a very unusual style, heavily Edwardian-leaning (sans corset because I can live without it, despite appreciating the garment still), like really I'm a elementary school teacher from 1905 who jumped in a time travel machine... And I collect haori, traditional Japanese jackets, because they're beautiful and I can adapt them to the season and my skirts and blouses. Anyway. I look very eccentric, but thanks to the simple and precise 1905 silhouette and decorative haori, I don't look tacky. Quite the contrary in fact, older people love me because I look very elegant, and people in general perceive a small lady with an impeccable, curated appearance, which provide me with lots of positive reactions.

[@missmia196]

Lol your examples of "shabby" remind me of cottage core

[@micheleboschert175]

What about the quality of elegance?

[@rozepyracantha5574]

One does not need to go to a very expensive store for decent clothes. Tailoring is not too pricey when you shop in your budget. I resent the "expensive is best" idea. It's all about how you wear and present your makeup and hair, body language, smile, tone of voice, words choices...I am still working on it. Btw, this picture is 10 years old.

[@jermwerm2575]

Classy is an effortless, elegant, timeless vibe. It can show sensuality without being overly sexual or tacky.

[@shirleyhyland4308]

Class is something you are, not what you own or how much money you have. Expensive clothes are about the quality of the material and how well it’s made. Usually well made clothing fits! There are rich ppl who are crass w/no manners, no taste,and NO class!

[@danapnmk]

"Classy" is more the preppy look. All things are solid. You don't wear promotional belts or clothes like the nouveau riche. Don't wear anything that shows too much skin. The colors are coordinated, very subtle. You don't wear plastic stuff, but leather, silk, cotton, linen. Nothing should be obtrusive, everything has to be rather subtle. Less is more. And very important: puffed lips and pumped up breasts are not "classy". Being classy also means having character and decency.

[@wilson8979]

I absolutely love this

Can you do a curly hair classic styles . Reeeealy curly hair not wavy hair but so curly

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

Generally speaking, more seams equals better fit. Wealthy people are more likely to go for fittings by appointment to get their clothes custom made rather than buy off the rack. The colors will be more subdued. The cloth will be high quality and durable. If it's a good coat,blazer or trousers it will be kept and used for as much as a decade. Sometimes even longer. If they lose weight or find that the lapel is no longer to taste it fashion they may have it tailored. It's nice to be "Classy", but it can be constraining. You are in a box you can not escape.

[@ocvlvs]

Class isn’t outward; it’s developed inward and works its way out.
