I wish there were more “wear this instead” solutions.
Amen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
to be fair, she has a MILLION of those videos on her channel, they just weren't featured on this particular video.
Ami Mowris exactly what i was thinking! Like tell us what we should wear to the airport instead??
She has tons of videos on that
Same
"Just because something is trending doesn't mean it's elegant"... This says it all ❤️❤️
She needs to put specific stores that carry these items because even looking at sax it’s hard to find things.
I am guilty of wearing yoga gear on flights…I can’t stop! 😅😫 Please change your standard on this. 😄
😛😂😂🤣😅
Yes
@@mmp495 Why do you care what SHE thinks? Wear what is comfortable!
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.
Though elegance is important, I absolutely agree with your comment.
Completely agree! I also do not believe that anyone should present themselves as the holy grail or something to aspire too. That comes off as elitist to me. What exactly makes someone an authority on "elegance"?
Couldn't agree more.
You say it all
It speaks volumes the fact that Anna didn' t pin this lovely, accurate and truly elegant definition of elegance... 🧛🏻♀️🖤
In a nutshell: Don't dress like a Kardashian.
Ba ha ha you’re spot on. They’re not elegant at all!
so right!🤣
haha you're so right! 😄🤣
👍👍👍👍👍❤️
😂😂
This makes me feel like a new princess who entered a palace and I got a teacher to teach me how to dress so I won't embarrass the royal family
something something Sorry to say but royals wear many of the mentioned blacklisted items, just so you're aware 😜
@@agarildtoft7993 Any examples?
A Arildtoft I also wanna know who?
Lol, we almost has the same username. Thought that was kinda fun.
Couldn't relate more
I'm watching this in sweat pants and a hoody, with 2 different socks.
Lmfao , I'm wearing tracksuits I love wearing most of what she listed especially insta baddie outfits , but I agree with her points.
Elegant ladies dont own hoodies lollllll.
@@VelveteenRabbit77 ya, I'm not sure I'm an elegant lady. More like a cowgirl... lol but it's good information to know incase I want to come out the boots
Can we be friends??? Me too lmao
@@Kimberlyelayyne absolutely
I like it how she always emphasizes that showing too much skin will lower your class or make you look cheap
Yes - some modesty is good thing.
More women should realize that showing a lot of skin is definitely NOT cool. Don't let your bra straps show, either.
I totally agree 👍. Women today are dressing so carelessly and unaware of their appearance. They are NOT ladies, they are Women. Big difference!! Everywhere you go Women dress so cheap and tacky; it doesn't take a lot of money to make the right choices to look put together and attractive! Females all look alike, wearing the same boring, drab clothes: leggings and a tee shirt. She is the epitome of class, elegant and refined!! Gorgeous ⚘️✌️⚘️.
@@firstnamerequiredlastnameo3473 Just to satify other people's judgmental?
It does
Best fashion advise I ever got was from my brother. He pointed to a bandage dress on a mannequin and said “every guy would love to see you in that dress, but they would never respect you.” I took that to heart. Great brother!
Ewe. Your brother sounds gross thinking that he should respect women or not based on what they are wearing. Sorry to tell you, but your brother sounds like a misogynist
But what about when your partner respects and loves you, but also loves to see you in a bondage dress? Will he lose his respect because you look sexy?
to be fair, a man won't respect you either way, simply because you're a woman. it doesn't matter what you wear.
Lol this woman bashed every single thing i own, but I’m gonna be real - i enjoyed it 😂😂😂
I have a feeling she doesn’t like the brand free people! 😂✌️
saandayy But let’s be honest, the woman she showed in the pictures look good. If I had a body like that, I would wear those clothes!
Saame! Lmao HAHAHAHAHA
saandayy 🤣🤣🤣
saandayy hello same 😂😂😂😂
I understand her points. Though most of the things she listed are my everyday wear....I'm not offended because I'm not trying to be elegant everyday. This is an amazing video. I dont understand the negativity.
I totally agree with you especially with the I’m not trying to be elegant everyday. You know just dress appropriately.
Love ur attitude
I'm working on ditching my work at home attire of yoga pants & t-shirts. I have trouble funding comfy trousers, so I'm going to sew my own.
Right....around the house you may not want to be "elegant." lt's good to know what IS elegant when you do want to pull that off.
Totally agree with you 😊
Thank you for your video. I'm a 75 year old woman and what I am hearing is what my mother use to tell me how to dress. She was a young woman in the 1940s and until the day she died she always wanted to look presentable. I was truly blessed to have her insight. Love your channel and now have subscribed. ❤
I am 72 and this is what my mom told me as well
This is really Beautiful😍✨🥰
The fact that I don’t have to spend big $$ for a stylist and watch Anna instead? Life saving 🙏🏽
me too
Me: *wears a t-shirt*
Elegant ladies: *_You smell like broke_*
Grace H I am broke! lol
lol
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
True elegance and class starts with empathy and kind heartedness....the one person who perfectly exemplified this was Princess Diana
Class and elegance is an attitude
There was also Audry Hepburn, a woman of deep wisdom, love and elegance inside and out.
I agree with the both of you!
She also regularly stepped out in sneakers, sweatshirts, and athletic shorts.
@Carla, absolutely and she would have been SO proud of her Princess Kate. They seemed to be cut from the same cloth. It's hard to describe...serene, beautiful, neat and simple style.
I agree with EVERYONE in this thread. Yes x100
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.
I’m watching Anna Bey videos from 3-4 years ago and they’re still on point. Timeless advice
Guys, there is a difference between "pretty" and "elegant." You can look stylish and not be elegant. Elegance is another style.
@@sabihanahla9841 and i've seen cheap elegant dresses too. Elegance is not about expending more money, is not even entirely about what you wear, but mostly how to wear it.
@@nessyness5447 There's a difference between cheap meaning inexpensive, and cheap meaning tacky, lower class and deserving of contempt. I think that's actually what she was refering to.
@@Jamjar-iu3ji that's actually worse. It suggest that is someone doesn't dress how she considers is elegant, that person is less worthy and classless.
@@nessyness5447 I agree with you 100%. The comment you responded to seemed to be talking about that kind of cheap. And you seemed to be talking about inexpensive cheap. I was just trying to clear that confusion.
I didn't like that she used that kind of "cheap" as the opposite to elegant.
@@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.......
This just made me realise that I really don't wanna be elegant
Who sets elegant standards
So boring
Sameeeee
😂 Yes, these standards are set around a certain demographic of elegant ladies. She’s accurate, though. The millionaire women I know who fit her target audience, and are married to millionaires dress like this.
Agreed
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 that 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. 😃
You actually can. It takes zero percent more effort to put on a nice outfit than workout gear
Then the french are declining
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 a plain T-shirt it’s fine, but once you put prints on, it makes you look a little childish. That might be what she was trying to say.!
@@afreen5058 Yes I think so too or "funny ones"
I am with Anna - sharply pressed clothing elevates. My friends laugh at my ironing fetish yet ladies always ask what brands I'm wearing when I'm a budget girl who just understands presentation is 75% of style :)
Who would take fashion advice from a child?
“yoga pants are not even the most comfortable thing to wear”
me: ...you know what she’s right *gets up changes into sweat pants* 😂
Moooood
👊
The only other thing I could think of too 😆
This comment should have many many more likes 😄
😂😂😂
So she basically described my whole wardrobe
Emma Desgranges lol
Mine to. Whats next, can't wear my Vans because it's something Jackie Kennedy wouldn't wear?
We will, just walk away slowly...
@@tammystiletto 2 thumbs up to that👍👍
@@PumpkinPixie1978 if she had them, she would've worn them, it's the video chick who wouldn't, I dont remember her name, as I prefer to forget my nightmares!!
Elegance is a state of clothing, of mind, and ladylikeness! She made clear at the beginning that this episode was for that genre. Don’t be upset with her or put her down for her own opinion. It is very nice. I’m myself a tee shirt, denim shorts kind of gal but appreciate the differences. Don’t care if I look expensive or not. Keep my skin covered, feel comfortable, know I look nice, this is my bag, not hers, although I agree with her on shabby handbags!!
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.
Thank you for this, I will be sure to use these tips when I find out I’m secretly a Genovian princess
lmaooooo
Hahaha serious Princess Diaries Flashbacks.
Did you hear that movie #3 is in the making?!
Anne Shirley - WAIT WHATTTTT
Anne Shirley - WHATTT. OMG MY 10 YEAR OLD SELF IS SCREAMING
Anna, will you please do a video on proper casual attire? Comfortable, classy clothing that you can wear to grab a coffee with friends, go to a doctor's appointment, or go shopping with your kids. I feel like I'm lacking in knowledge in this area! 😘
Mena Marie if you check out her Instagram page you can get some ideas!
Yesssss
Yesssssss!
Outfits that are appropriate for the uni please ❤️
@@silmm1886 oh yes that too!
I have two toddlers and a three month old and I stay at home w them full time. I’ve switched almost all my wardrobe over to dresses but at this stage and season in my life looking elegant isn’t always possible aha but I do try my best!
Congrats ! I do think that "mama elegant" and "childfree / childless elegant" are different : my sister in law has 5 kids (age 14 to 1) and she has updated her wardrobe to combine being put together and great fabrics with "let's be realistic" . No matter what, I always admire young mothers who try their best !
You are taking the word elegance to a different level; and yes I meant of simplicity; modesty; cleanliness; chic; and yes living with order and self confidence! Just because Rihanna wore it; you don’t have to wear it! Thank you for teaching us; to be ourselves 🙏
“Tshirts are not appropriate for home-wear” I laughed for like 5 minutes i swear to god
Kayla Story If you have an issue with it, why are you here?
Actually they are not ... Towels are made for that purpose ( at least for me ) 😂
Read this and stopped watching the video immmmeddiiaatteellyyy
@heuheuheu hyuk hyuk so true lmao people be like then don't watch it, like I only know I don't like it if I watch it lol.😂😂
Right. No one in my home cares if I wear a Tshirt, but then again I don't have a man to impress, so... 😂
You don't offend me, this channel is about elegance so, if tight gym outfits are not elegant to wear on the streets, that's what it is. That's what I want to hear and learn. Thank you for being so honest to help us elevate our status.
This is the most mature response in the comment section. Everyone else clicked on a video for advice and are offended at said advice even though it's accurate.
Exactly!!!
@@Godongo I don’t do any of the 10 things. But, I am offended by her presentation. She keeps say “why, why, why?” Well, because as you say, but obviously don’t believe - everyone has their own style. I don’t usually WANT to look elegant. Her problem is she really looks down on people who don’t dress like she does and that’s what I find offensive.
@@catajohnson1027 She just finds it weird to wear clothing made for different things. It may seem to her like if you wore a suit to a swimming pool. It just doesn't look right and she's like, "Why?" She's not looking down on anyone, she's just confused why you would wear gym clothes to an airport. Yes, it is a style, but some may think it is weird and there is nothing wrong with that. Especially since some people may not be used to seeing things like that so it just makes sense not to wear certain clothes in certain situations. All of it is up to how you view it, and she's just giving advice on how to be elegant which is a certain style. You can take it as she is putting people down if you want, but she's not.
@@catajohnson1027 do not judge her from this video you can check her other videos
You came not to tell us what we want to hear but what we NEED TO HEAR!
Thank you for another video Anna 🌸
You’re transforming our minds to become the classy ladies we truly are 🌹
I am a man that works with very high net worth client couples. I am constantly looking for ways to understand my lady clients in all ways. Besides being elegant they are all very gracious. I love what they bring to the table in look, mindset, and point of view. Thanks for these great videos.
There’s a thin line between elegant and pretentious.
Gaby Noska correct! Trying hard to be elegant looks forced, cheap and unclassy.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
oooof!!!!!!
Hahaha
Lol.she said move on to the next video😁😂
I came to this video for tips on how to dress on days that I WANT TO LOOK elegant. No one said we had to be elegant every day. I’m shocked by all the negative comments. Take what u can from the information provided✨
I agree. I’m confused by the number of people who have/take the time to be so disrespectful on a channel when there are thousands of other channels. 💐
Totally agree 👍🏾
Best comment! On days that I want to be and feel elegant is everything she has to offer
No one knows what elegance is nowadays... they dress like homeless people and think they look good because everyone is doing it.
I don't really see that manny negative comments, only ppl having a bit of fun on their own expense
Everyone hopes to dress and appear elegant but equally important to be genuine , authentic , well mannered , considerate and kind .
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!
My mom grew up in a poor household in Mexico and we've never been close to rich, but she's always had the same thoughts on style as Anna.
Wisdom is a form or wealth.
Me too
For all the people complaining: She is not “judging” people. She is just teaching what u should not wear if u want to look classy and elegant, which is a style she clearly knows about.
Exactly
Agreed 👍
Well there are leggins and jeggins which looks elegant. 😝
Ikr. it's same as telling people not to wear oxford shoes for hiphop/street style of fashion.
She is not teaching... she's judgmental and comparing. What is her definition of classy? Thats my question
I just want to say I love how unapologetic you are in your opinion. It's a breath of fresh air to hear advice that isn't holding back. I love you're advice even if I don't agree with all of it and now I'm subscribed!
There are only 2 things I don’t agree with here: 1) no cartoon/ animal pictures on your clothes, not even pajamas?! I think I deserve to be “childish” in the comfort of my own bed. 2) No t-shirts, even at home? In my country’s hot weather, that is the only thing I wear at home!
I guess I don’t have an elegant soul. 😂
You spoke my mind!😂
You have a happy soul haha🤭😊 if it makes me happy I'll wear it
So basically DO NOT follow the Kardashian’s look if you want to be elegant 🤣
There is NOTHING elegant about the Kardashians. The way in which they became famous just proves that
😆😂😂
Kardashians are anything but elegant.
Sinds when is a model elegant??they are more trashy
Fiona Moon 😂
I fail to understand why the women in the comments are calling her judgemental yet are on a channel called School of AFFLUENCE!
She's right on everything! Especially Bandage dresses,they ARE revealing and only attract low calibre men or men who's mission with you are unsavoury.
Loved the video Anna❤️❤️❤️,haters and the delusional can watch something else.
I don't wear any revealing clothes only comfy, I dont like dresses or any that's revealing
I agree 🥰 these are standards. Some aren't going to register. That's ok with with me, makes it easier for the cream to rise! Keep up our chic.
It speaks volumes Ladies 🗼
Honestly, I like bandage dresses, tbh I don't think so that you have to wear this or that to look elegent, elegance can be in your manners too. She isn't being judgemental but it seems like that, people who wears those dresses or outfits feels like she is looking down on them. Tbh it's her opinion and ig she should have said that it's her opinion and she isn't judging anyone.
What if you wear bandage dresses because you like the way you look in them and not because you're dressing for a man? 🤷🏾 Some men like women that dress in fashion and they were in fashion at one point.
@@MaryLou913 exactly! Perverts get attracted no matter what you wear tbh. I personally love bangde dresses, idc how people look at me or what they say, I dress up for myself and it's okay if you don't like bandage dresses but how can you call it 'cheap'? It's offensive to the women who likes it and wears it. We can simply dress however we want and everyone has different tastes, you cannot force your opinions on people and it could simply be a 'guide to elegant fashion' she could show what is elegent dresses or outfits are like instead of showing what you should wear or not. Tbh I think elegance and class are something that should be within us and not only in what we wear.
I'm soooo happy it's okay to wear a t-shirt when digging in the garden! What a relief.
Yes! I always travel with my travel steamer! The relationship with one’s dressmaker is worthwhile! Thank you, Anna.
I love her so much even tho she just dissed my whole wardrobe haha
Same😂
Same
I Know right
facts lmaooo
Same
elegance and casual wear are not mutually exclusive. YOU CAN DO BOTH and still look amazing.
My mother quite often wore t-shirts in rich, vibrant colors with dress slacks, accessorized with jewelry or a scarf. She was an incredibly elegant lady -tall, slim, beautiful. She looked incredibly "put together" and elegant.
**jUvEniLeClOtHiNg**
@@victorialandert5396 You never met my mother.
1887 wants you back.
Yeah you can do both and look dazzling yk but there’s a difference between elegance/fancy and being casual
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.
Something that I love Is how Jacky O wore t shirts that made her look elegant... walking on the streets of NY
She looked amazing always ,just like Caroline Bisset!
I don't like how she doesn't give an answer to her disagreements. "Instead of wearing yoga pants to the airport wear ______ ." Don't just bash on the clothing. Give a solution to try. Otherwise it's not helpful LOL
Madelyn Z Yeah exactly, I was waiting for her to talk about alternatives.
Trueee👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Madelyn Z agreed!!
Didn’t she give an alternative she said instead of wearing yoga pants you could try trousers which are more fashionable and can be comfier
She's just judgemental. She hates alternative people, or really anyone who isn't a clone of her and she really REALLY doesn't like happieness. That's why.
in other words-
"Don't follow the Kardashians"
I never really got the hype with the Kardashians so that's ok
Best comment on CZcams!!!
Yup
An expired bags belongs in the cemetery 😂
That is so true. Kim dresses like Mortisia.on The Adams Fsmilly.
Prints like mickey mouse print, animals print, strawberries are so much fun. It just makes me happy looking at my shirt. I think some prints bring happiness.
Feels wonderful to know people who can be correct at the idea of elegance. Thanks a lot for this!🌺
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. Everyone's style is different and if you don't agree with her I understand what everyone is saying and fashion is a little different nowadays but she is right on some stuff about elegance and modesty
100%! It is all about the context. Also, what you wear in your early 20s and what you wear in your 30s - are completely different things. Add a formal occasion to the story...and voilà!
Exactly! It's fine to wear crop tops, your choice, but don't expect people to view you as elegant.
Also, you can be fashionable but not elegant
Yes 👏
You can wear whatever you want all the time not only when you are at home...
She means basically being modest & wearing the appropriate outfit in every situation? She's right.
That's my take away from the video too. And I also agree.
I think she wants people to put some effort into looking like you are intelligent, deserve respect because you look respectful, enjoy looking beautiful. You can be comfortable and wear good fitting clothes.
Do I follow her advice myself? No, most of the time I am working with my dogs, working in the yard and taking care of the property. But if I want to go downtown her advice is spot on.
@@lindalarsson1436 She's not pretentious, if you feel that way, you're just i.n.s.e.c.u.r.e. Deal with it.
MsSisi9898 i think it’s slightly pretentious and it has nothing to do with insecurity. i can think someone is being pretentious without being insecure. i think you’re projecting...
this entire video is created for high society so it’s safe to say it’s a little pretentious. not enough to call her on it (imo) but enough to say it’s there if you ask.
And yet being predictive on motives of why people do what they do and unnecessarily filling in with her own narrative doesn’t really deliver that exact message. If a person knows how to communicate they don’t need disclaimers and white knights on horses such as yourself to teach us how to read between lines. We all know the mean girl trope. She knows it too. She can select better ways to communicate what you think is being said but yet she didn’t.
Wow, I was a teenager in the 90s as well and I hated most of the fashions from then, so I fully hear you!
I love your videos anyone that gets offended by your advices is not elegant and don’t belong here anyway. Thanks so much Anna Bey I’m in my 40s I’ve been watching your videos for a year now and I love how I’ve changed my look even when I go to bed and feel great about it. Love love love it beautiful lady 💃🏼
I believe my grandmother totally agrees with her.
@Amara my thoughts exactly 😂
I don’t think my grandma would either! 😂😂 Mines a badass
Not even my grandmother agrees with her lol
Even my strict grandma disagreed with her
😆
Imagine being her daughter LMAAAOOO
Mira Sultan yikes. No thanks
Worst nightmare
She would probably be a Punk :D
@@sososesar5154 that's what I thought! The first thing I'd do would have been cutting my hair with awful bangs, completely rainbow colored and only wearing ripped everything, hippie style and shoes from the garbage lol
@@vanessafranzel4864 okay, you just described me, but yeah 😂
I’m just starting on this journey to elegance and I’m super lucky to have stumbled upon your channel Anna….change is never easy but knowing I have your channel to guide and shed light on a lot of dark n grey areas on the path is surely a boon and a blessing. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to share your wisdom!
This is fun! My grandmothers were so hung up on dressing to avoid looking beneath their social status. I like to combine a hint of that stoicism with my love of oversized men's clothing choices, and maximalist taste.
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!! Try to learn about different things, astronomy, art, history or anthropology... something!!!
KrazySexyKool good, sound points
I fully agree ^^
"Perfume" is often the mark of people with no class. A hint of frangrance is fine, but being crisp and clean matters more.
@@sidehustletips what you are describing - this overwhelming scent that is not classy - most often comes from either cheap perfume or simply lack of knowledge where and what kind of scent are ok. "Perfume dresscode" so to speak 😉
This is what the video should have been about....
Anna’s style is exactly like mine. I don’t like Insta baddie outfits. I don’t mind other women dressing like that, I just won’t wear those outfits myself :)
Thank youuuuu
I seem not to understand the comments sis is basically giving us the how to pop up your look
I feel the same! 😊
It’s a personal choice, but I am like Anna as well. I have a style that I am comfortable with and I may add some inexpensive trendy pieces to add, but I stick with my basics. I learned that lesson early. Trends come and go, you don’t need all of them, but choose a few that you can add and that are inexpensive. Spend your money on items good quality clothing and alter, alter, alter!!
It IS possible to be respectful and let others still feel good about themselves and their styles when doing videos like this. But she is not. Otherwise there wouldn't be a 2:1 up-/downvote ratio. You know, there's always a reason behind downvotes. Maybe you don't want to see that because she's clearly not attacking people like you here...
Same. It's boring seeing girls wear the same things (crop top, leggings, messy bun). It's refreshing to see a girl wear something not very common like a modest dress.
I always watch your video's to prepare for job interviews haha, I dress like a slob usually so these are so helpful! Ignore the haters, you're the best Anna!
My style is the opposite of almost everything in this video. My style is eclectic, but leans heavily towards edgy...so 90s fashion, stylish graphic tees (yes those exist), and leggings/athletic pants are my thing. Although I like to pair casual clothing with luxe accessories. I also typically do not wear the color pink unless it is styled in an edgy way. A lot of people think I look expensive, even though a lot of my clothes aren't designer. It's really about the whole look, how well-made each item is, and how you present yourself.
When she asks.. "Why?" my best answer is.. "Poverty". Lol
Theres no excuse, my grandparents were dirt poor and still dressed classy
I will hold on to my excuses just to wear a t-shirt. Lols
karen conda 😭😂😂😂😂😂
You don't have to be wealthy to dress elegantly.
@@abi1021 again, I will hold on to my excuses just to wear my t-shirt. Lols
she’s not saying this is how you must dress, she’s just suggesting how you should dress if you wish to present yourself elegantly no matter the occasion
Only difference she doesn't know what elegant fashion is.
That butterfly dress was as ladylike as it gets.
Shorts are definitely not. They are screaming the opposite of "ladylike, elegant or classy".
Though I agree with ditching the horrible blue shades.
Exactly! It's simple yet so difficult for most people to understand. It's true that "common sense isn't so common after all".
@@dOVERanalyst Ladylike and elegant are close but different I think. That butterfly dress looks like a dress I bought on Amazon for 20 dollars 🤔
@@dOVERanalyst honey this is her pov of what being elegant is…
@@eduardasartorio8932 but she stresses her pov of elegant is dictionary definition of elegant. And no it's not. Shorts are never elegant.
If someone wrote elegant in dresscode no Idiot will wear shorts there. It's so unacceptable.
I love your style & knowledge on true elegance & etiquette. I get so tired of seeing women in tights & tee- shirts, work out clothes etc. It’s refreshing to hear from a lady who has a classic perspective on how to dress, that never goes out of style. Keep on doing what you’re doing! I’m so happy to have found you:)
Learned to tailor my own clothes because I was tired of looking frumpy.. it's amazing what one or two extra seams can do.
All of you taking offense don’t understand that this lady is an etiquette/ affluence teacher. These lessons are not for you! She said don’t listen to her if you don’t agree. Is that so hard?
Ella Akehurst we don’t care about your life. If you don’t like the video, don’t watch it
I agree. If it's not for you then don't watch this video.
@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.💓
@Ella Akehurst I also noticed that you stated that everyone's opinion is fine with you, and went on to explain YOUR own view. Folks, why should we have a problem with this. She said that your opinion is fine, and stated her opinion. Elegance does not judge harshly.💓
@@Stinoco very mean you are.
Fashion is one thing, class is another matter...
Amen! I've met some beautiful fashionable women who have no integrity and operate on a low vibration. Fashion can cover up insecurities, class comes from within.
Truee
Some ppl have fashion but NO class! Lol
BlowItOutYourCunt just switch on the tv (or internet) to see a couple of very famous examples 🤦🏻♀️
Exactly... there's nothing classy about judging people for what they wear...
@ annabey , lady I just by coincidence saw your channel and this is the second video that I have seen. I just want to say AMEN! to everything that you have mentioned on this video. I always thought that I was so old fashioned, and I'm born (unfortunately) in the 90s!. Thank you for this post and keep up the elegance work❤️
I completely agree with these pointers, thank you for your tips! I don't know why people are watching this if they get triggered by this kind of advice. This woman is a class act, and classic elegance is her expertise. That's the kind of advice shes giving. Its not for everyone but thats OK.
Agree on elegance points but rule of thumb is to Invest the money in your education, make money and wear whatever you want.
Yes!!
Education which is expensive these days in many countries makes many people heavily indebted and broke, so I would stick to: earn enough money somehow and wear whatever you want.
Well let’s say average high end Prada purse is $3,000, one online course at Harvard is $1,500. Hypothetically you meet that rich dude - he sees prada purses all day every day, but when you start talking about what you are learning, your goals etc he will be much more interested in you as a person, not just a dressed up doll. Spend your hard earned money wisely.
@@Drinkyourownkoolaid ok i agree with you to an extent but in my experience a lot of rich men aren't that great lol they don't care about your education, especially if they already come from a background of rich people. they tend to look down on women (again, in my experience) and don't care about what they have to say. i'm on my third degree and the last rich dude i wason a date with didn't really care or ask about it when i brought it up, but he complimented my hair and face like 6 times. bottom line: get your education FOR YOURSELF. rich assholes aren't worth it, and you're better off getting your own damn money so that you don't have to answer to anyone.
stephanie santos true that! Cheers!
An elegant woman for me is one who takes care of herself. Like brushing her hair, ironing her clothes and looks put together. I do not think that elegance means having one type of style, or having to look like a grandma. It's mostly how you carry yourself, how you talk and how you treat other people.
I 100% agree with you...finally someone thought in my direction
Someone that takes care of themselves, hair, clothing, etc. but may be in a T shirt and jeans, you would think them elegant?
@@Mikyda3 yes. As long as the person wears appropriate clothes according to situation/place/event.
Tottaly agree with you! It's not about the style of clothes it's about how you care yourself and set the clothes, or maybe what sigh send to Others! ❤️
She said she was making this video for those who want the information. She also says an elegant lady must be nice to the core and non judgemental. She's not judging those who dress that way. But she wants to help people who want to know how to dress traditionally elegantly how to do so.
Oh wow 95% i dress like elegant ladies!! I would never wear almost all of those things you mentioned !! I totally understand your point!! Love it! ❤
I don't even aspire to look elegant but I just found this channel and it's quite nice to hear this lady talk
A truly elegant taste is generally accompanied with excellency of heart.
Henry Fielding
Love, love, love.
Wow! I love this and so agree. Elegance is not about hair or makeup, but character, the content of a person’s words, thoughts, values etc. Looking great is so important too tho!
@Adriane, I really like that!
Has he met Anna Wintour?
@Jean, he really should. She makes this woman look tame.
Her videos are meant for a specific audience. I don’t see why everyone is so worked up.
For audience who want to look "classy" and to get a rich housband, that doesnt make a lady from woman.
AGREE.
Yes, pretentious people who can’t attract men with their personality
Emerson Riley I was thinking the same exact thing! It’s like move on people !
Mainly because some people wear these clothes & like them - and she's been slightly caustic about the clothes, (at least I think it's just, the clothes and not the people wearing them)
People are bound to take remarks like "please! I'm bleeding from the eyeballs" personally. Women start to see veiled insults in what other people are saying.
All entertaining for people-watchers
I agree with most. I wear a few of the things you said. I don't like to wear most of the things you said. And since I live in a tropical country, there is a difference in the fashion trend.
So in other words if I don't have the clothes to look elegant all the time for a certain event I should stay home and let it pass by .. well sometimes I look elegant and sometimes for the similar occassions I look casual, maybe due to my busy exhausting work week and still need to attend an event..not everytime elegance will be in my dressing but it's in my approach to people and situations...thanks for sharing ur opinion👍🏽
I want to know what pants are comfier than leggings?
Catherine S right!!! Lol
Sweats. But that's probably not what she meant 😂
Cotton blend baggy pants.
@@bubbz7351 Agreed. Sweats are the best! Leggings are next.
Cullottes?🤔 to me they are more comfy because they are loose and leggings tend to be too tight for me
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
a silk tee with french seams will always look great ...
It depends on the t shirt and the style. The 90's style is not particularly classy.
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 dont know, maybe cause Im from California, but we definitely love our laid back style and leggings while Im going with my kids in long flights. I think dressing depends on the occasion, mood and location also. So for me, Im definitely gonna keep wearing my yoga pants on flights unless Im going to Europe or Asia.
I'm exactly wear the same dresses as she says elegant. My friends at times complain me I'm covering all my body parts but I love being respectful
A classic fitted white tee is absolutely appropriate layered under a jacket.
Mint & Tea
Yeah if you’re a man

I do dress with some 90s style, I like some aspects of grunge style also but I generally agree with your reference photos. Our aesthetic goals are very different so I understand that you are dressing with intention. You are very level-headed in your approach to explaining these topics and I really like that about your content.
I'm an androgynous-dressing lesbian and I still value this content, it is very interesting to learn about different perspectives and widen my own in the process.
I'm actually grateful for these tips. I wish I had seen it in my early 20s because looking back at how I dressed for work back then makes me cringe. I did dress stylishly but compared to how the others in the office dressed, I looked cheap. The ladies who wore elegant clothes the most were the ones who had a religious and strict upbringing. They were very into fashion but they dressed modestly and stylishly, while looking expensive. I wish I could have been friends with them at the time so they could have given me advice on putting together an outfit for work.
I love the way she is always polite but looks disgusted when talking about what to avoid 🤣
Epitome of affluence. Diplomacy is an art.
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!!
@@aurelie-paulinempenda6838 That makes no sense..
A true elegant lady is kind, loving and caring. I find that very "elegant".
M Alba True however it’s difficult to express that love an caring nature in butt shorts with your butt cheeks out. Elegance is both inner and outer beauty and class otherwise even strippers would be elegant and we know they are not.
@@MsAfricanbeauty100 totaly agree! Its truly ridiculous when people call themselves elegant while wearing so called recent trends like booty shorts and ripped cropped clothing.
We're not talking personality, we're talking fashion here. Catch on!
Wow........kind and caring no longer in style. Judgement is...😮
I learned a lot about elegance and about myself. One thing I can say for sure is always aim for what you're comfortable with
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!
Why did it take me so long to find a honest classy lady like you ........thanks for teaching us .....
I know your words are for only a small group of women ...
Am proud to see my fellow Africans on such educational and informative programs
Yes o sister Betty
Right♥️
Exactly! Love her channel.
The only thing I don't agree with is how she said: why? Why would you wear this or that?
It was a bit strange because many people wear different fashion, including her. We shouldn't be disrespectful to anybody's style. She shouldn't either. Let's just state facts without dissing other people/things
Agreed
But also the question “why would you wear comfortable clothes on a long haul flight? Why?” Um why wouldn’t you!? Maybe she’s not travelled and hasn’t actually been on a long haul flight 🤷🏽♀️
@@christinagriffin5154 exactly
I mean it's quite simple. Why would I wear that? Because I like it and want to wear it. Done. And that should be enough🤷♀️
@@rica_ria I respect what different people want to wear. She said herself she wasn't born in high class society and she slowly started her luxury lifestyle, so she probably had different fashion when she was younger too. Judging others is ok. But being sarcastic and rude is not nice. Respect is also a lady rule! Hope she sees the comments and understands that we are not hating her, but expecting respect especially from a lovely lady like her!
“Embrace being a lady” I loved!! ❤
Thank you for these beautiful tips. You are the epitome of a lady…full of grace and kindness and elegance🌸🌸🌸
Being elegant and classy doesn't have to be so so plain and boring. You can still have Personality in your fashion and be very elegant
Chantelle White elegance stems from kindness
Chantelle White like Blair Waldorf? 🙈❤️
Yes!!
Yes agree.
I think she means look elegant for women over 35 ? Thats is right and make more sense with no rip jean , animal print or crop top ??
When she said not to wear leggings I remembered Blair Waldorf saying “Leggings are not pants” HAHAHAHAHA
I love Blair
😂😁
I saw a WOMAN at a store yesterday who wore leggings w/out underpants & a skirt so short one could see the family jewels from the bACK. iS THAT ladylijke???
@@valeriea.larsson1687 I am pretty sure that isn’t ladylike hahahaha
