ITEMS THAT MAKE US LOOK MORE EXPENSIVE AND ELEGANT AS LADIES
Many women find it challenging to choose certain items without worrying about appearing too old, boring, or lacking the guidance needed to achieve an elegant and sophisticated look. Looking elegant and polished can significantly enhance your overall appearance and influence how others perceive you. You don’t need to rely on high-end brands to look put together; often, it’s about how you style what you already have. This blog is designed for anyone looking to elevate their outfits while embracing their unique style without feeling pressured to conform or compare themselves to others. I hope you find it enjoyable and helpful!
Wardrobe must have in your closet:
Cashmere
Turtlenecks
Blazers
Silk dresses
Cardigans
Black trousers
Button up blouses
Designer handbags
Scarves
Sunglasses
Jewelry
Diamonds
Classy styling is timeless:
The navy shift dress and nude/ camel-colored pumps you buy today will still be wearable ten years from now. Buying one good pair of pearl/diamond stud earrings outweighs the 10 pairs of trendy statement earrings that will be passé a year after you buy them. Having a sophisticated and classy style means that you can wear your outfits to work, Sunday brunch, a city shopping trip, or traveling the world.
Bold patterns and prints can definitely work in a sophisticated and classy look, but you may not be comfortable with such patterns if you are just beginning on your classy style journal. Neutrals are your friend in this case. Solids are plentiful in the stores (and probably your closet), easily combined, and help to stretch your wardrobe.
Typical neutrals are white/beige/cream, navy blue, black, and gray. Now, don’t think you have to dress head-to-toe in black (or other neutral). Monochromatic (different shades or tints of the same color) allow you to vary a color but remain classy.
What to avoid:
1. Activewear: wearing gym clothes when you’re not doing sports. People have become lazy and they don’t make that effort to get up earlier in the morning. Get your exercise done and change into proper clothes and do your hair to be presentable. No proper lady wears sports clothes when she is not doing sports no matter how comfortable it may be.
2. No crop tops. They are juvenile and can look very cheap. Showing too much skin especially around the stomach is not elegant.
3. Writing all of T-shirts’ cartoons and pictures all over clothing. It’s tacky and childish, it does not make you look ladylike
4. Ripped jeans and shorts. Unless you are going for a beach or casual look it is not sophisticated
5. Denim shorts. Opt for white shorts or white jeans for a more expensive look
6. Handbags with wear and tear.
7. Wrinkled clothing or hanging threads. It shows disregard for you clothing. Invest in a hand held steamer.
8. Bulky cheap looking jewellery. Always wear accessories especially small and discrete. High quality gold and white gold looks best. Such as a Cartier bracelet and diamond earrings.
9. Stop wearing jeans. Invest in pants, get them tailored or opt for skirts. It’s more feminine and elegant.
10. Classy women do not wear sandals in winter conditions.
