My mom always told me that elegance is about being confident in who you are. She is the most elegant woman I know and definitely not in a traditional way, but anyone who knows her would agree with me.

[@contr4dixion]

Yes... when I was younger, I was very masculine. As I get older, I realised like you did too, that it was to hide my true self which is much more feminine, that I feel vulnerable about. Eventually, due to problems in my romantic relationships, it drove me to really explore and uncover my true feminine self. I've been exploring for a few years, but since I started following Anna, I had much more guidance to do that and it helped me go even further...

[@KimberleySanchez]

You have really good insight into yourself. Very honest.

[@annjay2581]

Weird little story here, but my skin recently became very sensitive to the sun (issues with my immune system) and with the warmer weather I found myself not being able to wear my usual shorts and tank tops anymore, so I started to pick long sleeved white blouses, pretty hats, big sunglasses etc to cover myself. People stop and stare, strangers compliment me and hold doors open for me... it's crazy. Even if I'm getting healthy again, I will probably keep dressing like this, it makes me feel like a celebrity :D Everything you teach about elegance is really true. Greetings and much love!

[@richardheilweil2600]

When I was diagnosed with lupus in 1998 and could no go in the sun unprotected by covering i went on a very very long style journey. My mother-in-law told me to wear big brimmed hats with scarves, sunglasses 😎 lol I started noticing that people were staring and whispering and actually asking me if i was a model or actress. Flash forward to 2020 I am known for my stylish hat collections by all of the people who know and love me! 😁making the best of a difficult situation lol 😂 I just realized that I used my hubby’s acct!!! He’s not wearing the hats, scarves and sunglasses 😎 I am.

[@Vicbjk]

I wish there was channels dedicated to this and men be interested in it

[@AsmaYAli]

I truly think many men also don't have mentors or know how to treat women the proper way. They are not intentional about their lack of chivalry, and manners. They just don't know any better. Like many women, mainstream and pop culture is their reference. I think a video for them on how to treat a lady would super helpful to forward to all our awkward, nerdy, unrefined, and insecure male friends in our lives who I know are hungry for help. The video on why men should always pay is one of my favorites for them. Since explaining this concept that has always been implemented in my personal life, not a single one contested to it. Much love to you beautiful Anna!

[@IevaKambarovaite]

You're so right. I think a lot comes from the upbringing and role models we have when growing up. Very sad, because in America itself more than 22 million children across the country under the age of 18 are being raised without a dad at home. There's just that much a busy single mum can do. I've worked with some guys helping them to learn how to be a gentleman and how to treat a lady. But they're the willing ones..

[@zainajenkins]

Older men or men who grew up affluent seem to know how to treat women from my experience.

[@zainajenkins]

When I say older, I mean old.

There’s a channel Real Men Real Style that’s teaches men to dress elegantly but they talk about attitude too. I recommend this channel to men who want to level up.

Hi Anna how lovely to see you are back. Let me tell you a story ( hope I wont bore you) my father passed away in 2005 he was my best friend and a very wise man a true gentleman. We have a farm and when I was alittle girl there was a lady that owned a farm about 10 miles away she lived alone and was very wealthy but didnt take care of herself she had rough big hands and dont think she had ever heard of a dentist !!!!!!. When she would go to markets men would talk to her like she was one of them !"never helping her to lift a heavy box or holding the door for her. When my darling father passed away she came to see me to offer her condolences. One thing stuck in my mind until this day. She said your dad was a true gentleman and the only man that ever made me feel like a lady. I ask her what did she mean. She said he was the only man that treated me like a lady the only man that did not use bad language in front of her and even held a door for her. I was and am very proud of my father until this day. That is why my sister and myself and my beatiful daughter are stylish elegant ladies today. Being elegant is not being a snub no no being elegant is making others feel good about themselves elegance radiates from a true lady. It's as easy as breathing . Takecare Anna n all.😇

For me how to be an elegant and classy lady comes from my mom, she always had a good taste how a lady should be dressed up, look like and behave. She is a bit more conservative than me, but she is my idol and my very first teacher. In my opinion a true elegant lady is a high value woman, who knows her worth, who treats everyone with kindness, which is feminine and soft, but at the same time have a strong personality to resist unfairness.

Its true that its better to rather be alone than with someone you dont feel good with. However, I do think a woman deserves love and the happiness of having a loved one, a partner. Well, you are actually missing out in life in my opinion. Maybe youre looking in the wrong places to find the right ones?

[@That-Wanderer]

Thank you ladies! It's a spiritual thing for me too. I want to have all those things with the love of my life. I dont like the idea of sleeping around, it just isnt lady like. I also want it to be until I'm married to have sex, it seems like the more proper more lady like way for me. I have however recently met a guy, it is a long distance thing. I met him thru a friend at my job, he lives in California and I live in Oklahoma. He is going to college there to be a pediatrician. Hopefully our relationship will work out, he is nice so far! 😊❤

[@BiancaBojan]

Please never compare yourself with anyone else, everyone's journey is different with different destinations so there is no general timeline. The next part of my comment you will not like, but I hope it will help you: we usually attract what it is in us (law of attraction), so if, for example, you attract only lazy man, think about how you treat yourself: are you too lazy to work out on most days and eat healthy and you preffer take out? This is just an example. If you want a real man, focus on being a real woman first, by taking care of yourself, having dreams and aspirations and working towards them and trust me when are fully busy with living and enjoying you life, a great man will appear out of nowhere, it has always worked like this for me.

I have to disagree. We women must say that women and girls are equally valuable and deserving of respect regardless of how much skin they are showing. Also, we risk validating others when they judge us for not being “demure,” enough.

Thankyou for reminding us to strive for higher goals, to be authentic. To be her best, and never embarrassed, never making others uncomfortable. To be dependable, to know the right way to act and behave that brings out the best in others, makes them feel safe with you. Create an aura of being in control of your emotions and your life, in a quiet way. Always thoughtful and observant, considerate, even slick at handling situations with the least amount of friction. As if by magic! This is elegance with good humour. Unruffled! Pre empting, and moving like a martial arts ninja!

I was reticent when I first encountered Ana's videos, but I'm realizing the more I watch that she is promoting feminism and femininity, also with self-respect and a myriad of empowering views. She managed to turn a skeptic into a fan.

The power is in our hands.

[@eluby]

Hi, Anna, A bit or constructive criticism, if I may? I don't know if you have a new video editor, but things look different... I feel like there are too many quick "close-ups" and "zoom outs" all throughout the video, happening all too frequently. It makes it a little difficult to watch. I realize that it's done to emphasize certain things said or certain phrases, and generally it's a great technique for editing and really works well, but in this case it's just happening all throughout the video and at times too much and too "choppy" . The sound and lighting are still great, and it's very nice to listen to the video, but when you try to watch it this becomes very distracting. A certain smoothness and easy flow of your older videos is gone. 🤷 P. S. You look great. ♥️

Thank you Ana, as an Italian my family is quiet close to me.. but I am embarrassed by them I have to say, when I think to be part of a high society. They have a construction company since two generations and I never take part of that because I couldn’t stands the grossness of the people I should have been surrounded for the rest of my life. I rebelled than many years ago, I studied philosophy, left home at 21 and started my journey. Next step is traveling more (corona permitting). At times I am insecure about putting effort in finding a companion of that level because of introducing the simplicity and roughness of my family behaviour and thinking. I feel as i may have no support from my side when relating to a well educated man probably coming from a family of culture that benefits of a such a support. My family is hard work for me. They are laud, talk non sense at times and unrefined. Sorry to be so direct, but these are my insecurities and I thought to share them. I never express openly this issue of embarrassment, but in this video you nailed it and I was thankful to heard that, that this things exist and I am no the only one and there may be acceptance, regardless ones background.

And finally, when I think about elegance somehow Audrey Hepburn comes to mind. Confident and understated.

I am American and dated a Bulgarian guy who said it was normal for he and his girl/guy friends to openly talk about sex and their sex lives. I thought this was strange and viewed this as personal and private. Just the thought of his friends knowing that much detail about me felt violating. It seems nosy, because I did not share that same interest to know about their sex lives. Of course I told him I wasn't comfortable with that. I wonder if this is a sign of lacking elegance. If my friends and i talk about sex, it is about our interests, not about our relationships. We talk about private matters if we are seeking advice. Love your videos. Would love more vids of you going into stores and looking for elegant clothing and shoes! :)

Depends on the Bulgarian really. It was a thing for the older generations (like people in their thirties) but it is dying out. I personally feel the same way, I strongly dislike it and so do my friends, so I feel like (and hope) that this trend is going to disappear.

So well said, Anna. Thank you for this video and for your channel - I think you are doing women an excellent service with your insight. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was very insecure and did not think I was attractive so I thought I had to dress very scantily to attract attention. Unfortunately for me, it took me many years to see that what I was attracting was not what at all what I wanted. I am now secure in myself and feel beautiful and confident and without any need to dress/behave like that anymore. In fact, I feel more attractive than ever. Listen up ladies, she knows what she is talking about.

[@OjitosChiquititosmaquillaje]

I’ve learned the hard way! Men shouldn’t be over stimulated, they will despise it over time.

[@GalinaMilkovaBekiaris]

Elegance begins with knowing who you are, what your values are, what you are aiming for and why. Elegance is working on yourself! Elegance goes hand in hand with intellectualism. Knowing the arts and actually having a character. It is about discovering yourself and respecting yourself and others. Personal boundaries are important, guidance and stability are important. The looks come in the process and afterwards. If none of the work is done - one turns into a snob.

Dear Anna their are so many that’s copying from you and teaching but they don’t realize that you’ve been here first and I’ve been following you for sometime which has helped me so much thank you Anna you are a gem! In all honesty it’s a repeat elsewhere you are the original love always Sumayah

[@fstarr9923]

Such perfect advice! An elegant person can be extremely sensual without venturing into overtly sexual / vulgar dress and behavior

[@preranab3627]

This pola dots look so cute on u...😘🤗💝

[@Saniyasweetest]

This is the most positive n motivating thing I heard since lockdown🥰

[@dianalee9890]

I don't know how I found your channel. And now I am starting to watch all of your videos. Because it teaches me a lot. It inspires me. Not to have a billionaire man but how to be elegantly successful in life. I am 21 and a scholar in a university here in UAE. And I am very grateful that I found this channel.

[@LatifaBarka]

I've been acting like a watered-down version of myself a lot lately to be accepted but i feel like people dont want me around as much compared to when i was just 'myself'

[@parneetkaur2579]

U could be "watered-down" to the point where ur not even existent, and ppl will still not accept or value you, you should simply start only caring about how you feel about yourself and be your best version. :)

[@jeannestrauss946]

Me too...

[@contr4dixion]

Then have a good look at these people around you and decide if they are good for you...

[@dhanashreepandharpure4853]

I hope more and more ladies will start following what you teach. It's a blessing to have a beautiful and elegant lady like you to teach and inspire us. Thank you so much.

[@healingwithdanae1294]

So well spoken, compassionate, and diplomatic 💕

[@meghnaahuja9390]

Such a beauty! ♥️ You’re my inspiration. Although I have found my man but I still look upto your content. I think people really misjudge you and your work; because it is about refining oneself so that one can stand upto anyone and everyone in the society without feeling any less, rather than just about finding any sugar daddy. Keep inspiring! Love & wishes from India 🇮🇳💕

[@stephaniegati1051]

I was here when Anna had few subscribers now she’s at 600k +. The progress yessss🥂

[@irinapreda5850]

Elegance definitely stems from who you are inside. Polish that first and the rest will follow. It's not about stiffness or elitism or arrogance or perfection. It's about what you feed your mind and soul. What are you watching? What are you reading? How are you treating yourself? What are you learning or teaching yourself? Plus, I also think it's a work in progress. We change. We learn. We add layers through experiences. I'm definitely not who I was in my 20's . And I think that's natural.

[@greenlimabean]

You are what you put in your consciousness. I'm careful to eat mostly high vibration foods and I won't let in media images and messages. I protect my consciousness.

[@juziazonk]

Check out how Grace Kelly was dressing and you will never look boring or vulgar 🥰

[@er_5406]

Oh!!! Thank you! thank you! thank you!!!!! ♥️❤️❤️❤️♥️ I've found a rare pearl 💋😘

[@sunshinedayz7032]

Right! And she was not boring. She was feisty. But in an elegant way

[@wiktoria5863]

Or Dita Von Teese, my idol. So graceful and elegant even considering that she wears low decolletage and yet somehow makes it work perfectly.

[@Bakerygo]

You can be sexy even if you are showing very little skin. My goal is to manage to pair elegance with sexy in subtle ways. The starting point is the shoes.

[@Mme_Chantal]

Thank you Anna. I always believed that elegance and femininity are a state of mind.

[@elegantgrace4996]

Hello Anna, thank you so much for this video. I started following you last year and I just want to say how much your work has changed my mindset and I think the best thing from this transformation is that I have truly begun to love myself. I don't want to be anyone but me. Through your advice, I'm just levelling up in my elegance and grace without going against my belief system. Plus, I love the tips you give on how to ooze sex appeal without being vulgar. I can't wait to show the world the new me!

[@greenlimabean]

Elegance Grace. What a stunning name

[@elegantgrace4996]

@@greenlimabean Thank you!

[@yohann8114]

The editing cuts zooming in and out is quite too much. I can’t even watch my eyes can’t handle it. Please keep edit zoomed out the whole time so I can focus on what you’re saying! Thanks

[@izabelabozanic6825]

I actually found the zooms funny and interesting

[@seebzt]

Typical Karen behavior...

[@MultiAyame]

I second this, it's a little bit too much for an elegance channel...the zooming in and out all the time gives it a cheap vibe imo maybe some smoother transitions would look better

[@izabelabozanic6825]

I do agree that maybe there are too many zooms, but some of them I found funny. So maybe making the cuts more smooth and less of the zooms would be perfect!

[@vvatherton]

I agree. Had to switch off. My eyes couldn't handle the constant switching.

[@YesItsAndromeda]

Really such a beautiful and intelligent woman! Watching your videos has shattered all my assumptions about the upper class and you have shown me that classy/sophisticated does NOT mean snobby and close-minded!

[@olaweq915]

Anna, please show us how to wear elegant outfits in the everyday scenario! :)

[@sisterlavender1188]

You are such an articulate, perfectly well spoken and virtuous woman.

[@danbilee7247]

Virgin Mary is the most beautiful elegant and sophisticated feminine woman that ever existed. Whilst being the most lovable human to ever be created, she displayed her inner beauty through her life of humility, purity, kindness and self sacrificial love. Inner beauty and other beauty. She elevated womanhood to the next level.

[@odalysalvarez305]

I love that you're reminding us to stay true to who we are, not to obsess, & just really everything you said was so supportive. Definitely one of my favorite videos.

[@RoaringMind]

Thank you for the video, Anna! I have two questions that piggyback on what you said: 1) What if our natural personality is one that is not typically seen as elegant? For example, if we’re a little bit silly or childlike. 2) Can you talk more about having embarrassing or inelegant family members?

[@tanyachernichenko8568]

RoaringMind only you get to choose who you want to be. You either choose to be silly, or grow emotionally and respond differently. No one is confined to their personalities, we are allowed to change. And that doesn’t mean loosing yourself, just upgrading.

[@sarahalhares8982]

I like the last part when you mention it is not about your background, it is about you! Have a style and own it 💜 sums it all 🙏

[@beverleyroberts1025]

I don't think anyone should try too hard because then comes across unnatural. Good manners, walk properly, stand properly, dress elegantly and think of others and show consideration for others. And smile 😃 x 😊

[@briana14333]

So true, Anna! It's so much more of an aura than what you're wearing or doing, and you actually emit the opposite when you try too hard.

[@kathtrimarchi6266]

I would like to know what celebrity or person you consider elegant and had/have influence in your transformation. You're my mentor in elegance ❤️ 😍

[@yourlehrness]

Kath Trimarchi the Dutchess or Prince William's wife Kate

[@beautybyfuri5636]

I feel every woman should learn from Anna! It's like we have to re-learn these things as a society. I am trying to level up for career purposes! Thankfully, I have already found the man of my dreams!

[@cc1cc175]

Please do a video on what elegant lady should read to be more informed. Thank you.

[@sheila4035]

I have traveled to some many places in my life. It's nothing for me to get up and take a road trip some where. My goal was to go to Hawaii for the fall, but plans are on hold. Elegant women are adventurous not boring. You can't see people personalities through the internet. If we we're in quarentine, I would be meeting people outside social media and traveling

[@Lullalies]

Elegance is being able to be independent from having to wear or use luxury brands.

[@drsana3867]

My Elegance receipe = Confidence + Fitness + Independant finacially + Have a big potential goal to upgrade life + Mysterious + Open minded + Humarous + Kind & Most Important Self Love❤️❤️❤️❤️ ... that automatically radiates💥

[@humanityandme]

My mother is an elegant woman and she is also outspoken. I feel that aspect needs to be spoken about more. Elegant does not mean being passive it means having boundaries with people and respecting yourself. You should talk about this Anna

[@MJS.94]

NEVER BEEN HERE THIS EARLY!

[@helloitsme4701]

Anna, I am still shook of how well spoken you are, your way of talking, your view on life and your content make you stand out from others on youtube ♥️

[@isabellade8356]

I appreciate your videos so much !!

[@lydiasimeane8331]

You got so much power in your voice Anna and you know how to deliver a message. I was feeling so sloppy and hearing you speak about elegance motivated me and I really felt that elegance comes from with in first and no matter how my surrounds are I have to stay elegant in the way I act and think. Thank you.❤️

[@isabellabaig9763]

Would you ever consider doing some kind of retreat? Like a weekend retreat.

[@tatianamedeiros8662]

Anna, I always miss your videos so much. I wonder if you can talk about time management... I'm sure a lot of the elegant ladies that watch your channel have a job, classes, child and all of that busy stuff. At least for me, sometimes it's hard to find time for some elegance tasks. Now, during quarantine, I'm having a lot a joy spending time taking care of myself, but I'm afraid I won't be able to cope with that once life and work gets back to the busy mode. Thank you, always!

[@dorottyazsofia]

This has been my favourite video so far on this channel - some people just cannot sense the subtleties in these "tips for being classy" videos and think that "oh my god, if I have a cardboard tissue box out, I'm trashy". I also like the thought of elegance being more of a mindset, and making 1-2 mistakes or not following a certain type of elegance does not make a person not elegant. What I see in my surroundings, the things I would add to the common misconceptions: - especially about elegance in affluent circles, where the man might be the breadwinner provides for the woman: that elegance is about holding "values" from the past, being traditional... which in some ways is classy, but there are cases when it is just too much. I especially mean when elegant ladies are expected to feel inferior to men, are expected to talk only about fluff topics like travel, weather, cutesy hobbies, children, home decor, and that they should believe that it is only men whose opinions matter in more serious topics, because they are smarter. I don't necessarily advocate talking about politics or religion publicly, unless someone is with close friends, but I see this with topics like science, psychology, education, the workforce... ladies, we are not living in the 1950s anymore, please do not feel unelegant for sharing your opinions in any topic more serious than which color you want your living room painted. - also on holding values from the past: I see some people thinking that elegance is, among other things, inherently about elitism and snobbishness, and about a voiced preference for older classics, no matter the topic is. That you can only read classic fine literature in your free time, you can only listen to classical music, only watch classic films, only care about classic fine arts, classic types of fashion... that id you are care about anything contemporary, especially any contemporary media or art form or piece of art that is considered to be valueless by some hyped and snobbish critics, you are, by default, trashy and uneducated. There is no issue with liking more "fluffy" things to cheer you up, or finding the beauty in certain books, movies, films that are looked down upon by some old-fashioned people. - that elegance means having a full face of make-up, wearing dresses or skirts with high heels and jewellery and having "graceful', bird-like movements all the time, and you cannot be elegant if you are not like that 24/7. There are obviously times when appearing this almost ethereally elegant being is just not as important than some other things. If you are really late from your only sibling's wedding for whatever reason, or you have to save someone from getting hit by a car, there is nothing with running like a madman. Or if you are being really sick at home, it is nothing wrong with not being all dolled up with perfect looking skin and freshly styled hair. And also, people should think about the occasion as well. I have seen people showing up full glam on funerals where you don't want to bring the attention to yourself if you are truly of class, or wearing heels and dresses to go on a hike.

[@linbeek815]

YES!! To what you are saying at the start of the video. elegance is a general code of conduct to live by, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself or let your hair down from time to time

[@shaghayeghrezaei1378]

Oh Anna it is amazing how you look so slimmer, I am trying a combination of the intuitive and fasting diet, and it's worked out!

[@3CQuinn]

🤗😍🤗

[@nicole4589]

I appreciate your realism in this video especially and just presenting both ideas with your opinion, it really helps you understand these ideas better
