Yes, even I feel Zara is expensive. No, I think it's over priced. It doesn't give you for what it promises you for

[@RevitalHN]

It really isn't. It was at the beginning offering a more affordable choices yet with time they got new and cheaper lines. In Manhattan store you can see the difference between the high Zara and low Zara very clear. Just pay attention.

[@Yararar]

That’s because Zara is a value market clothes shop. In order from high to low there is: Couture, Ready to Wear, mid market, value and then second hand.

[@arianaxo2905]

i also think they have clothes that seem to look classy, but i think supporting fast fashion companies isn’t classy at all.

[@thalia7104]

@@arianaxo2905 Agree with you. And, as a matter of fact, not necessary. Save up some money for a few, good clothing pieces that will last you for years to come, and now and then, if you have some money left, you can add another piece to your wardrobe. I started with saving up my pocket money, now my wardrobe is complete. Some pieces are about 25 years old, still in perfect condition. My blazer needed a new lining, so I brought it to a tailor. Haven't bought anything for about three years, just didn't find anything nice I wanted to add. (And I prefer classic pieces, so nothing really goes out of style 😉.)

[@lizzyt1248]

Thalia another option is buying consignment designer clothes!

[@thalia7104]

@@lizzyt1248 Yes, that's another option! I think by now, we know what fast fashion does to the environment and the workers, it's a waste of money and very often - waste! And so many people say, I can't afford expensive items. True, not everyone can go to Dior and buy the latest Ready-to-Wear, neither can I. But buying less items, therefore good quality, will save you money in the end, because it holds up much, much longer, and you don't give the greedy companies who don't have good working conditions, pay much too less to their workers, even have child labour, your hard earned money, just to throw the items in the bin after a few times washing them. Preloved route is good, building up a wardrobe slowly, just add one good piece, when you have saved up some money. It is possible.

[@theveronicasfan95]

@@thalia7104 just wondering but as far as I know designer clothing from names like Louis Vuitton, Chanel etc is not necessarily made under better working conditions or more sustainable material. The upside is the longer lasting aspect of those clothes but not the process of fabrication, as far as I know. Would that be true?

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

[@rebeccaiop9061]

Hi there, I go shopping at thrift shops because where I live it's impossible to find good quality stores mostly fast fashion shops here. I've found a lot of good quality clothes from Veronika Maine, Mark & Spence and others for less than K10 (US$2.50). I think what matters is finding good quality like fabrics, colors nor washed out, buttons and stitches still on, etc. Best wishes and know that elegance is a mindset.

If you’re saying they “don’t need to worry because they have time to grow/mature etc.” that’s not fair. The earlier one starts, the better.

Clothing is a "first impression" thing. It will attract men, but then you need to show your inner elegance to keep them. You also need to know how to dress appropriately for the occasion. It's ok to wear humble clothing in regular life, but if your wealthy boyfriend asks you to go along on a conference weekend at a posh resort, you need clothing that shows you know how to play the social game at the right level.

JLD Reactions I’ve never found form fitting things in thrift shops. It’s all over washed items that were once trendy or T-shirt’s. The best thing to do is get a sewing machine and learning the basics to customize things for yourself. Also cool isn’t always classy.

Loved the video and would like to see more like it! Also, I'd like to hear your thoughts in a different video about divorcees with children who are trying to level up their look and life. Should they even bother to find a rich man or just give up and settle for another average Joe?

[@kellyli9973]

Elegance belongs to everyone, not only the wealthy class. We don't need to try to "look wealthy" in order to adopt elegance. As someone else said, elegance is found not only in style but also, in definition, from grace within. I think something needs to be said about the portrayal of "what is elegant." The creator encourages the idea that a person's level of elegance corresponds with their displays of subtle wealth, showcasing constantly in every video how to display an expensive lifestyle. Consciously or subconsciously, the women suggests every time that the value and worth of a person corresponds to their display of elegance. I'm going to take a deeper dive and mention the wage gap in America and how it directly correlates to race. Poverty is systematic, and its proof is in the existence of Affirmative Action. Affirmative action is a college admission's preference for minorities over traditional students to break the cycle of poverty for those who are systematically suppressed. Having said this, this constant idea that a display of wealth = elegance sets boundaries for who can be considered "elegant" in society. Those of lower socioeconomic status are often considered "not elegant" due to their lifestyle and poverty. According to the women, elegance seems to be correlated with worth. If we correlate elegance with worth, that would insinuate a worthlessness of these minorities and create almost a "sub human" category for them. This just fuels the fire for negative stereotypes of minorities and other suppressed races (Native Americans, African Americans, Latinos). I think that is why there is something inherently unfair and disgusting about these videos. Minority races in poverty do not have the option for true elegance under her definition. I believe we need to look at the definition for elegance again and ensure that this women does not take away from its true definition with her personal expressions that has only exacerbated negative stereotypes. Of course, people enjoy her videos and kudos for her to making videos that people enjoy. I guess just take what you can and leave everything else. Just something that I haven't seen mentioned.

[@starrix4712]

That’s true, although I just want to add that she lives in London/United Kingdom (and greater Europe around it), not America. She has never associated with American culture. In the UK most of our working class are white ethnicities and always have been.

[@kellyli9973]

-your mom sells arbonne- hi! That's exactly what I said HAHA. Your mentality that elegance = emulating wealth is exactly what I'm pointing out.

[@kellyli9973]

Starri X hi! That's interesting! I was more so referencing her projection of the misleading idea that being wealthy = elegance. Classicism also exists in the U.K., but I understand that race plays less into its structure compared to the role of race in America.

[@irairod5160]

Agreed! I've bought hideous second-hand jackets for $5 just to get the buttons. Good looking, good quality buttons can elevate a so-so piece. (EDITED to add: I do not waste the rest of the jacket, of course. I use the fabric to make zipper pouches, shoe bags, purse linings, bookmarks, headbands, placemats, handbag organizers, pockets for sunglasses, fabric flowers...sometimes, even the ugliest pattern does not look half bad when used in minimal quantities.)

Exactly my thought! And for those of you whom don't sew, an easy fix through your dry cleaning person and/or tailor.

[@niconicouana]

My mom was a fashion designer and she always pointed out things, as you have. So true. The darts (sewn seams from breast to waist) in front of a blazer offers the hourglass (and slimming) look, rather than the boxy cut (which flatters absolutely no one). Buttons really are critical. You can swap them out (like handles on a dresser) and instantly make a blazer look better. And pattern continuation (like a stripe matching the stripe past a seam) are a solid sign of quality. You have good taste and an excellent shape. Thank you for pointing out faux pas. You can absolutely dress well on a budget, if you pay attention to such tips. Just one thing...I find blond women in black turtlenecks, coats etc look fabulous. They are positively striking. But, I understand your preference for lighter colours. Thanks for the video. Please keep making such videos.

[@CALinial]

Yes, I wish she had said to buy nicer buttons and swap them out on the yellow double breasted jacket at 3:57. She’s talking about a lot of things that most “fashion bloggers” don’t bother with-and that are important for looking expensive (put together), and more importantly, sustainability.
