A good posture says so much about your character. How you feel about yourself will determine the strength and confidence you give to the world. Hold your head high, be bold in your expressions, and respect will present itself to you without much struggle. That is about you as a person; in matters of dressing, the following tips will be of help to bring out the elegance and classy look.

Avoid trendy fashions.

Fast fashion is the norm of the day, as it is cheaper and easily available. Fast fashion comes with all sorts of trends, depending on the culture, social norms, and values of the society.

For you to look elegant, surely, you have to avoid these trends. You cannot keep buying new trends daily and expect to pull out some class. Disadvantages of trends include:

·         They do not give you room to have your sense of style; everyone has it.

·         It is too costly, as you get into a cycle of buying new trends now and then.

·         It makes it hard to belong in a fashion tribe (a group of people that dress in a distinctive style to show belonging).

Go for gentle tones.

You do not want to be too loud if your goal is to be classy. Avoid the bright colors and bold patterns that pull the ‘attention-seeking’ character. Tone it down with some neutral colors (hushed shades that appear to lack color). For example, cream, gray, white, black, beige, and brown. You have to look calm and collected at all times.

Lean towards classic outfits and accessories.

-Class and elegance come at a cost. You have to be willing to spend on the expensive designers that manufacture durable and out-of-touch trends. They use high-quality fabrics such as silk, satin, and cashmere.

- The clothes should be knee-length high. Not too baggy, and not too tight, just the right size for your body shape.

- When it comes to accessories, buy statement earrings, sleek watches, elegant scarves, and designer sunglasses.

- A coat can never go wrong, be it short or long. Throw it over your outfit to complete the look.

Be natural

Fakeness does not sit right with elegance.

- Have a natural-looking makeup routine for every occasion. Don’t be too flat, and don’t do too much of it. Nude makeup will do best here. We still want to see your glowing skin; too much makeup will cover that up.

- Regular manicures and pedicures will go a long way. Try out some short nails with nude polish.

- Style your hair most naturally, and avoid being dramatic at any cost.

The secret to elegance and class is being charismatic. Let your presence in a room attract and influence people. Charm your way into being inspirational to people with your looks. Have something to live for and a reason to always dress up for any event, no matter how small. Go ahead and try these tips, and watch how many heads you turn.
