I like your name, the Trashcan suits it well 😄

[@ThePatriotNurse]

Your method works, dear! Was at a conference recently and received tons of compliments to the effect of, "You look so ELEGANT!" My response often included the phrase, "Let me tell you about my friend, Anna..." 😁❤🙏🏻 Thank you!

[@cottagemommy5116]

Cracking up, because I watch both of your channels!! I have noticed you looking more elegant & feminine on your channel lately PN, but didn't realize you were watching Anna too. I'm in good company- says another Tn. Mountain gal. 😉

[@katieoliver2469]

As someone who grew up with “rocker” parents, rock music always playing etc, I’ve found this video so helpful! Because I consider the whole “rock” kinda vibe part of me but I also love elegance so I love how you advocate individual styles. I’ve now learnt how to wear slightly ‘edgier’ clothing that fits my personality whilst maintaining elegance. Thanks Anna for thinking of all types of women!

[@eleonorafusco.3608]

I feel exactly this way too😂

[@july994]

Look Simone Simons, she always dress elegant but keeps her Style too.

[@ashserj7906]

Same. Having recently married I felt the need to include elegance yet not loosing myself. Good luck to you!

[@etrebelle9812]

This is(makes you) actually very interesting

[@libertylady8462]

Same! I’m a rocker chick at heart and wasn’t sure I could combine the two but love that you can be both!👍🏻🦋

[@milaces1323]

I believe elegance is a simple mix between wearing the clothes you truly feel comfortable in and making that they're appropiate for the places you go to or events you attend.

[@Whitesilver1970]

Exactly

[@nafee-sa910]

Wish I had this in my late teens/early twenties. I went through so many stages that didn’t feel comfortable. Finally found my niche around age 24/25 and learned that I feel most comfortable in a cross between elegant classic and classic feminine. As always, great video.

[@GlossyMuse]

Nafeesa Jenkins Hey 24-25 is such an young age!

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

Me too! There was a reason why some girls felt confident with super tight skinny jeans and I didn’t. I hated people looking at my butt. But I thought that was the only style I could or would ever feel beautiful in because it was so in style at my high school. Wrong... I love being girly and feminine and modest. Rather than tight skinny jeans, I wear pencil trousers or linen pants now and I feel confident and safe

[@epicafan123]

Nafeesa Jenkins Same. At the age of 23/24 I found that elegant classic is what I feel most myself in

[@khushbuyadav8542]

it’s insane how much i’ve changed over the past few months since i started following you. thank you.

[@marquisedetassony1879]

The type of elegance I feel more close to is something more "a la garçonne". See you tomorrow my elegant friend ♥

[@salmabsl3565]

Hey Anna, can you please make a video on elegant flat shoes (not sneakers)?

[@michelleclark8099]

Dear Anna. ❤️. Yes. This is not discussed enough. And then on top of figuring out our particular type of elegant style, we have to incorporate our body types. And then our coloring. I wish you would come to NYC, when things open up. We would love to meet you. We need help in this very confusing City.

[@imsaubia]

I think she made videos on both types already

[@michelleclark8099]

Random Girl I know. But, you are completely missing my point. My point is that it is a lot of info to put all together, for some of us. No worries. Anna always understands my point. Thankfully ❤️❗️

[@michelleclark8099]

Ariekon_ Hair I know her work. But, for me , Anna is best to put it all together for elegant ladies and their leveling up goals.

[@Artbug]

If youre in the city, look up David Kibbe. Hes a professional stylist that does consultations. He has a book called Metamorphosis, its about finding your body type not on pears and apples, but based on old hollywood glam style. My sister saw him for a style/shopping/color/makeup consult; i 100% recommend!

[@michelleclark8099]

Artbug I know his work. But, Anna has something extra special to me. Anna is my “OG.” We probably all have one. The other’s, to me, are Flankers.

[@jodieroberts7882]

I'm 64, happily married for 41 years and just now trying to find my classic. Raised 2 children and now living in Florida, I finally have time to focus on myself. Anna, I thank you for all your tips. God bless you.

[@Felineblood]

I’m 55 and I love this channel. Wish she was around when I was younger.

[@krisis.management]

I love the last one! I realised I don't take myself seriously enough and that's why I've been dressing so 'boyishly' and not for my age nor body. Time to upgrade my wardrobe to the elegant feminine girly style :)

[@ellebean759]

I hope you're doing well with your wardrobe upgrade Kristiana ✨️

[@emmawarner3184]

I love your spin on the classic Kibbe body types. I've been doing a lot of levelling up research into my own style and I really sit nicely on the Classic spectrum. What I've learned is that I have to balance my Soft Classic body with my slightly more Dramatic Classic face in order to not appear too masculine or overly girly, and it's such a fine line to tread! To feminise the Elegant Classic more, just add in one element of either the seductive, girly or feminine classic styles. This I think would allow us classics some elegant flexibility whilst still remaining "minimal" and not too over the top. Thank you for this Anna as always.

[@LoralLee]

I bought that book when it first came out and I've never regretted it. I'm a Soft Classic in personality and body type, so his theory works extremely well for me. I have to overlay it, however, with my Winter coloring, but I've been able to make it all work pretty nicely.

[@lynneturcotte124]

I can’t wait. I have trouble finding nice clothes that aren’t polyestef

[@annanas8162]

Same here! My body can't handle any plastic/artificial materials so I only want natural fabrics. But it's difficult to find nice dresses and top that's not Polyester, even higher end brands :(

[@michelleclark8099]

lynne Turcotte Yes. It is a war that I too am fighting. We women have been sold out by the fashion industry.

[@lenamaximoff5484]

The struggle is real. Every time I’m shopping now I always look at the material tag and every-time I see polyester I’m like 🙄😩

[@Artbug]

Try to find rayon. Its also an affordable fabric, but made of natural fibers and the different grades can look like the different textures of polyester. Otherwise, secondhand/thrifted is the way to go to get nice clothes in good fabrics at a good price.

[@babayaga3782]

There's nothing wrong with polyester, it's a sturdier replacement for silk and other shiny fabrics. As long as you choose the right texture and design design, and take good care of them, they look great and last a lot longer than silk. Although they are not as warm during the winter and cool during the summer, they can be worn during spring and autumn. It is nice to have some clothing made with natural fabrics in your wardrobe, but not all your clothing has to be made of the finest material, if you can make it work, go for it!

[@ShadowSiren88]

I would like to say I'm between Elegant Flamboyant and Elegant Feminine. I love colors, prints, and have only recently been exploring more fabrics and textures.

[@fairdose]

I love Elegant Beatnik, if I could call it that. The style goal here is Kim Novak in the film "Bell, Book and Candle", her wardrobe in that film hit it out of the ballpark. Another one is Molly Ringwald in "Pretty in Pink" (except for that horrible prom dress at the end!).

I'll be definitely joining your new program with other like minded ladies 💃! Your absolutely right about style personalities! You can actually mix these which I do on a daily basis!

[@trojanette8345]

Am still working my way through your Elegance Workshop videos. Since I don't have IG, or FB I wish to leave my comments for, "The 4 Pillars of Modern Elegance" video here: Your descriptions of your (youthful 20's) gala, fashion nightmare incident sounds a lot like Princess Diana's fashion faux pas when she was 1st formally introduced to high society. Remember the wide, flouncy, off the shoulder black dress she wore. You could immediately see that, she too, was very uncomfortable and very embarrassed. But WOW what a 'difference a day makes'. Once someone or many someone's pulled her aside and talked to her about how to adapt fashion to her / her body type and how to 'accentuate the positive' -- BOY did she get it right. No more fashion nightmare experience's after that. Great advice once again, Anna.

[@mayzoro3545]

I love Ralph Lauren! Forever classic with lots of old money vibes ❤️❤️❤️ your videos are amazing Anna!

[@FanStoryVideoStudios]

I really appreciate you talking about this! I always see people talking about the Elegant Classic look, which is absolutely not my style. I'm definitely an Elegant Flamboyant! I've been part of historical costuming groups for a long time, which is probably where I developed the idea of detailed and well-coordinated outfits being the ideal. I'm also fond of 1920s evening fashion--subtle was out, bold was IN, and there was rarely such a thing as "too much." I love collecting vintage accessories and jewelry! There's definitely a lot of range in my wardrobe, colors anywhere from neutrals to pastels to bolds, and some outfits that come out very masculine--which is completely by design! I like playing with expectations, and I find that a nice suit with the hat I got from a men's hat shop makes me feel very confident and classy!

[@jeanmi5045]

Wow I like all these looks!!!😍😍 they all look so fun!!!

[@monique1778]

Dear Anna, your division of the elegant style is perfect! Finally I've found the true description of mine. I'm an elegant feminine seductive, also leaning towards feminine girly on some occasions. I have done several tests and tried many systems of style but none of them have been really fitting to me. It usually would classify me as "sexy style" but results didn't match me because I don't like vulgarity or overtly sexual clothing. Also, the example of Monica Belluci on my type is spot on! I love her style. Thank you, this video helped me very much. I hope you talk about it more in future videos. 💗

[@jennavanvolkswagen2822]

Could you do a video on elegant fashion for maternity or larger women? Not extremely overweight or obese (unhealthy!) but those who are truly just curvier or bigger framed, pear shape, etc.

really glad you mentioned the flamboyant style! I love bright, over the top and very unique clothes, think runway Gucci (not the streetwear stuff). I am working towards becoming more elegant and finding more respect for myself because after having certain trauma I sometimes feel like I can only get respect or attention from looking and acting sexy, but the opposite is true!
