True elegance comes from within. It’s politeness, kindness, compassion, respectfulness, clear communication, being able to maintain your composure despite the situation at hand, poise and taking care of your self. You do not need high end clothing, makeup or accessories in order to achieve this. Ladies, inner beauty never fades. It’s radiant! Be authentic. Know your self worth. Live within your means. There are women living well beyond their means in order to live a high society lifestyle. You can achieve an elegant look without going beyond your means.

[@marymusic8920]

@@Jamjar-iu3ji Chanel's Karl Largerfeld, said "If you're Cheap, nothing helps....." Cheap is an ingrained attitude, and a spiritual flaw.... Not the "Miley Cyrus" cheap, which is actually vulgarity, or perfectly nice, albeit inexpensive, clothing; it is a personality-driven, infection of the soul..... (e.g.) I had a very wealthy client, who displayed (literally) all the accouterments of showy vast resources.... She was loathed, by business associates and service professionls, for her smug condescension, controlling manners, and snobbish demeanor; all of which are polar opposites, of Elegance..... Impossible to please, never tipped the wait staff, a single dime, and had such terribly high standards-----for everyone, however---not herself...... Contrast that presentation, with another (absolutely filthy-rich) client, in her late 70s.... Genuinely warm, authentically sincere, charmingly appreciative, and universally kind.... Clean, neat, wearing tiny jewelry, while always dressed in Ralph Lauren (green label) "barn" clothes, and beaten-up old ballet flats..... At the entrance door of a swanky establishment, or business meeting, she looked like someone's nice Grandmother, visiting from "The Sticks...." Yet, people literally fell over themselves to serve, assist, and just chat, with this true lady...... She made time, for you.... A (subtle, very quiet) huge tipper, very "aware of people," gave secret "just because" presents, to her laundress, the doormen, delivery drivers, the janitor, and just about anyone who crossed her path, who needed a bit of quality time, and acknowledgement of their efforts... Most importantly, an interested listener... She conducted herself, as a "Lady," and treated everyone else as a "Lady, or Gentleman," as well.... An army of people showed up, for this lovely lady's funeral.... And, it was not a sad gathering; everyone had a sweet story to tell, "about the time, she........" Cheap can define "first impression" careless appearances, but the moment one opens one's mouth, their true character is established..... (Cheap, or "Worth Knowing...") People evaluate quickly, by sight.... However, it is by the hearing, they know just exactly "who" you are.......

Traveling in yoga pants and workout clothes feel comfy in stressful times. Sometimes putting on something comfy can make stressful tasks a little more bearable.

[@ue2267]

Elegance for me is just people who are clean. They smell clean and look clean. And when you look clean, generally you clothes are well maintained (no wrinkles, stains etc), your hair is neat and well kept regardless of texture, and your body/skin appears neat. Nothing on them overly stands out, you see them as an entire person. Most importantly their aura shines. Something about them is light, friendly and positive.

With respect to t-shirts. No long ago I was watching a video on French dressing style. What do French women wear and stay nice and elegant? A pair of good quality jeans and a t-shirt and perhaps a blazer on top. Yes, that's a casual style which I would totally embrace. There's nothing wrong with it. You can't wear elegant clothes all the time. It would be totally weird to walk to the supermarket wearing anything other than t-shirts, sweaters, jumpers. Same for a casual coffee meeting. It's all about context. Unfortunately I feel that I'd waste my time watching beyond this point. However, ladies, don't forget that class, confidence and elegance come from within. 😃

[@sarabrown56]

You actually can. It takes zero percent more effort to put on a nice outfit than workout gear

[@monsieurgolem3392]

[@HeyTitouvideos]

The thing is that (and I say that as a French), I think the French style values a very high quality cotton tee shirt, perfectly ironed and paired with elegant pants, nice jewellery, hair and light makeup and good quality shoes. It can be very elevated (thinking Audrey Hepburn or Brigitte Bardot casual, not trashy)

I think it’s great that you are giving out advice to help others find a more “elegant” style of fashion, however making distasteful comments on clothing pieces just because they do not fit the mold of “elegance” is not very nice. Different pieces of clothing are staples for different styles, one style is not better than another, it is purely based on a person’s preference. Just because it is not your style does not mean it is appropriate to trash on them. It can come off as a little pretentious and disrespectful (one may even say not very elegant!) But I still appreciate the content itself, it is definitely helpful to some people. I just believe it can be better without the unnecessary throwaway comments!

[@SadiesAriel]

I’ve spent pieces of my life working in sports bars where we can always wear jeans and some type of sports t-shirt. everyone always asks me why I’ve been “dressed up”. I get nicely fitted shirts (or cut / tie them), nice jeans that flatter my body, and always have my hair done (even though it’s in a pony tail) and makeup nice. I always get better tips too. And I feel better which shows. It makes a difference!

@Ella Akehurst you make the best point! I knew a young girl whose boyfriend died in a car crash. She was still in high school. She was extremely upset for a very long time. Some months later, her friend stated that someone ( I don't honestly remember who), had died and it was the worst thing she had ever experienced. My idea about this is that both experienced a great loss to them. But the first girl shamed the second girl on social media. For the second girl, this WAS the worst loss in her life. For the first girl, her boyfriend's death was HER worst loss. Everyone has different experiences in life. It is a battle. I have health issues that prevent me from enjoying life as I did before. We should not judge another person, but always put ourselves in their shoes. How would I feel if I had a stroke? This would be much harder to deal with than my present illness. This way of thinking puts things in perspective and allows us to be more empathetic to the human condition. God bless you on your journey.💓

I think she's defining her style as elegant but not really describing what elegance is. I don't think her style is the gatekeeper of elegance and depending on the individual, her style can age you and make you look matronly. Here are my tips: 1) always dress for the occasion 2) Avoid cakey, Instagram makeup 3) smell good, invest in good perfume 4) Iron your clothes...she was spot on with this 5) you can show a lil skin but not too much, find your balance 5) dress for your body type, please read up on the kibbe test, you can check out alyart videos, it changed my whole vibe! 6) your hair should be neat, neat does not mean straight or slick down, just combed 7) Read!!

Just found your videos and appreciate what you are doing. Sadly, many women have the wrong ideas about how to dress their best. It doesn't take a lot of money or effort. I am 70 years old, and because of health issues, am on SSI. I don't have a lot of clothes, but most of them are good quality and in good shape from the thrift shop. I dress carefully and neatly in mostly neutrals, keep my hair in an easy classic cut, wear minimum accent jewelry, and make sure my few pairs of shoes and purses are neutral and in good shape. I often receive compliments on my appearance from strangers as well as from friends and family. Just because my health and finances aren't great, doesn't mean I have to feel bad about myself and want others to pity me.

I can see why everyone is kinda telling her off, but she's honest kinda right on some of this stuff. Elegant woman are more modest and crop tops, booty shorts, and cartoon t-shirts really aren't elegant. I think its okay to still wear whatever you want when you're home though because you're not around anyone and you can be comfortable. Leggings is a big thing too and if you want to wear them ya whatever I wear them too but most modest women really don't wear them and if they do they cover their butt. You can still be modest and elegant without wearing old lady looking clothes too you just have to kinda have to shop around and being elegant doesn't mean you have to buy the most expensive clothes.

A sweatsuit is NOT elegant. 3-inch nails are NOT elegant. Bootyshorts are NOT elegant. There is a CODE to elegance just like there is a code to etiquette. You can’t just “do you” and expect others to read you as elegant. These things signal that you are part of, or can be part of, high society.

LoL. I have that look on my face a lot. People's clothes say a lot about them. I try to look elegant as I can. You never know who you will meet and network with.

That's because respect and politeness are two different things my dear. They were short in money so they had to cut the respect class

How about when she said "shoot me if you don't agree" lol!!

I don't wear them because I don't like them, but I disagree about the t shirts. Jackie Kennedy would wear them with capri pants and jean's and she always looked fabulous. Needless to say she was the epitome of elegance!

marilyn fernandez me too

[@bebop54]

a silk tee with french seams will always look great ...

[@rach5516]

It depends on the t shirt and the style. The 90's style is not particularly classy.

[@turena8745]

Yes a well made t shirt and well fitting is not only appropriate in warm weather but looks very classy as well, particularly with a nice necklace.

Really you are going with Jaqueline kennedy as an icon of elegance, please! Not even 👎

I haven't finished listening to Anna's explanation. I just paid attention to her overview about her subject. So I haven't looked into the details. Why? I'm sorry Anna I'm so attracted to what the viewers' were saying. And there are many interesting and inspiring views brought by these lovely ladies. I truly enjoy reading the comments. I feel as if I'm looking at mirror at myself when I'm reading their ideas. And then I found myself as one or two of them. My own idea is no matter how classy a dress will make me, I still put the dresses which make me feel confident that I look alright and nice. Dresses that I'm sure will get appreciation though may be not much admiration. Now I'm going back to Anna's ideas i'm sure they will open my mind to the world of fashion I have not known before. Thank you ladies thank you Anna..
