I feel really elegant whenever u say “my dear elegant ladies” . 😘
Avni24 Pothani Me too 😌🤣🤣🤣
I also feel the same.
Me too
Yes!
Yes!!
I used to get made fun of for wearing high heels to school and skirts because everyone was in jeans and sneakers and baggy t shirts and tank tops. I became embarrassed and changed to fit in, but now that I’m 20 and comfortable with who I am I love dressing up everyday !
Sophia D you were that girl in high school I wanted to be! Im still in high school and I don’t have the confidence to walk around in heels and skirts I feel like everyone would make fun of me
I was that girl in high school, some classmates started at me oddly, others made fun of me, and some started dressing up a bit more. At first, I was self conscious about dressing up, wearing heels then I realized how I shouldn't care about others thoughts and what they think of how I dress. Be confident and rock your style, be yourself!
i wish i had this option!!! i have a school uniform
@She’s so Lucky it's really just jealousy. They don't have the confidence to show that they care about their looks.
Oh, I wear heels, dresses, and fashion scarves. But then again my high school is pretty chill.
"People aren't really wearing pearls nowadays..." Me sitting here in my pearl choker and pearl accented socks: *sips tea*
My eyes lit up when i read this 😍 i love your style!
Hi
Amen
I hope you're nor drinking your tea from a common old mug 😁
You're too good for the likes of the rest of us :D
When teaching my young daughter how to set the table, I explained that the edge of the knife must always face the dinner plate so that no one gets hurt. That is the essence of good manners… to minimize negative and hurtful emotions in others. Some examples: Jealousy is dangerous for many reasons and we want to minimize the chances of making someone jealous. And many women feel uncomfortable in the presence of another woman wearing clothing which directs sexual attention to her in mixed company, for example. It is good to be respectful of others. Thank you, lovely Anna, for another insightful video!
I tell my children that the fork is the dragon, the plate is the shield, the knife is the sword, and the blade has to face the shield so as to not cut the lovely spoon maiden. Silly, yes, but it works!
@@lindseydorrington8277 Love this; such a cute analogy 😊
Elegance = appropriate for the time and place: formal elegance, casual elegance, hiking through a jungle elegance.
Exactly
That's right!
Right ✅ agree 👍that why I love 🇺🇸
Elegant animal
@@mimminiminiim565 jokes aside being an elegant animal is a thing. When I am in a forest for example, I do feel like a feline, or a wolf gracefully trotting though the tracks, it's an unexplainable feeling of balance between being wild and free, and being soft and delicate
You should do a corporate wardrobe/work outfit ideas
Yes please do that anna
Really need this comment
Good idea!
Yes, please!
YES YES YES !!!
Pearl stud earrings are always perfect for your equestrian outfits
Thank you, Anna! I agree with your suggestions. A little tip: I occasionally wear Spanx but purchased 2 sizes bigger than my size. The Spanx still hold me in just fine but don't squeeze the life out of me! With pearls, it depends on the jewelry style, type and color of pearl, and your overall look. The world of pearls is huge--many different sizes, shapes, and colors. I've worn barque Thai pearls with casual outfits but reserve my traditional round pearls for evening.
The plum color looks gorgeous on you.
I agree, she looks amazing in that color, it is so complimenting :-) xx
That shirt is exquisite
Totally agree! 🌹
Love the color and fabric of choice
😍
Pearls soften the hard look of black.
As someone who wears a lot of black I agree wholeheartedly. Pearls take me from Victorian widow to Audrey Hepburn.
@@cameronbennett5085 yes, and pearls come in such variety from the very tiny fresh water to the big clunky and the 3 strands of Jackie O and the big one strand of Barbara Bush and single 5 mm strands of Nancy Reagan. Some classy and elegant ladies wore pearls. Neither Hepburn or Jackie O was old and Nancy Reagan always dressed on trend while being classy. Barbara Bush took the advice for her age based on with KJ Lane told her and it looked good for her style and her age. We can choose accordingly as these ladies did.
I think pearls fit more the romantic-elegant style,thus she's pointing out the musts of the elegant-elegant style.
I love pearls. I have several lengths and love the really long look now. I think it brightens the face and makes your teeth look whiter. It is also easy to wear.
They are hard to wear when trying to look modern. Either you look old or royal / aristocratic.
I have always been impressed by how women used to dress in the -early 1960’s. They spent time pulling a look together and looked head to toe polished and feminine. Much attention was paid to how clothes fit, the quality of fabric and it being well made. The majority of women wore girdles regardless of their weight ( talk about uncomfortable!), heavy duty support bras, pantyhose, and slips with skirts and dresses. Undergarments were made to suck, tuck, and mold the female body into an hourglass shape. Fashion now has gone in completely the opposite direction. Cheaply made clothing of poor quality and no regard for fit. Loose sloppy looking shirts, crop tops , holey jeans, skirts and dresses worn with bare legs. Clothes are designed for comfort not style.
Women in the 60s did not work.
Thats the work they had
Even in Europe,
@@UltraYNK my mother worked, took care of us and her parents. She made the effort. By the way she ironed too and cooked every night.

I have always worn pearls ….I believe they are extremely elegant and classic…. there are also many different style of pearls and I think they all add a very special feminine touch 💕
I’m a size 2/4, and I still wear spanx. Just because you’re skinny, doesn’t mean that you are smooth.
Amelia Etienne Thank you!! I wear spanx with any dress that is fitted to my body. It’s how I was raised. Plus I wear hosiery if I go to church or dress up for dinner. I have no problem with this.
Yes! I'm a size 4/6, and I still wear them also. I've had 3 babies by csection and unfortunately my tummy shows it.
😂😂😂
Im plus size and I don’t where spanks because my stomach is pretty flat for a plus size women
I dont have it but i have soft chubby inner thighs So this shapewear is needed in my life when im wearing dress Just so my thighs don't get Bruised
I love pearls, real pearls have many different colors in them and look rich, lustrous, and enhance a woman’s skin. There is a reason why pearls are classic and have always been so desired.
I think pearls are perfect and enhance any skin color as well. Just beautiful.
For sure. I love pearls. Don't agree that it is old fashioned to wear pearls. They are gorgeous.
Personally, I love pearls more than diamonds or other gems, especially in neck pieces.
Love pearls too
Baroque pearls are gorgeous
Generally speaking, after a certain age bare legs are hard to pull off. Veins become much more noticeable, skin is not as firm, and it just doesn't look as nice as wearing hosiery.
Try body makeup. Sally Hansen airbrush legs is incredible, I couldn't live without it. Perfect for summer when it's too hot for tights.
Exfoliate, workout, moisturize like your life depends on it and work out and train your legs
@@beth6717 Excellent suggestion! It covers a multitude of sins.
@@beth6717 does it rub off on chairs and stuff?
@@martineshamzin7535 Not if you let it dry completely before you go out. It washes off quite easily in the shower so maybe avoid using if it's raining :)
A pair of pearl earrings would have looked great with this top!
I agree and love pearls (my birthstone) but I get what she means.
Myrna E she looks exotic with these large earrings
The earrings she have on now look better to me
So true
I prefer her earrings. Pearls are very specific otherwise they can look more dowdy than ladylike.
My grandma was very elegant. She used to do her fine laundry on mid-high heals and wear hosiery at all times, even in summer. One more thing she used to do was to wear a beautiful scarf on her hair when going out on windy days or days where there was a lot of dust outside. She was incredible careful with her hair and her hair was always very clean and had a wonderful smell. I always loved her shoes and her purses. She was so classy in all aspects.... I love pearls so much, specially only good quality, real pearls. I will never, ever wear fake pearls. Thank you for another wonderful video🌺
Homeschooled Around the World Thank you for this moment of refinement :)
@Josephine Bournes elegant ladies correct another lady with kindness
Josephine Bournes english is not everyone’s first language
@@hellomd5046 ITA, MD, and it isn't difficult to do. One can merely use the word correctly in a response. For example, if someone misspelled the word "heels", you could appropriately respond by posting "Yes, my mother always looked elegant in her heels too."
Heels. Not heals.
Right when i was thinking "good, she's validating my nike's!" She said "no, we don't wanna go as low as to wearing nike's" 😐
"There's too much cleavage in the world today" -too funny!
Funny, yes. But still very true.
“I can’t take anymore body parts!” I completely agree. Too much of it out there! 😮
Absolutely! Less is more! I blame pornography, and burlesque type culture in entertainment! If you put it away a bit more, there is value in mystery!
Cat On a mushroom pornography I agree with! No good comes from that, everyone is so against edited ads and advertisements but no one realizes how altered and edited all of those scenes are. But as far as burlesque goes, being a vintage enthusiast, even burlesque was about the mystery, the possibility of what could be seen and waiting to maybe catch a glimpse....women now adays put everything on full display, I think not even really understanding why, and there is no mystery or illusion. It’s all out for anyone to see
@@sirenelectric143 - Yes, I understand your point and have edited my comment. I am also a vintage enthusiast. I guess I meant the pornification of even that type of entertainment, it's not erotica, it's too much. They have grabbed anything in that vein and pushed the sexual aspect into fashion, and visuals in movies and music videos. The stylised sexuality is so overdone, it has totally lost any appeal. So what I meant was the porn has appropriated burlesque and erotica, and corrupted it. There is a paedofilic tone to it, eg. Victoria Secrets, and advertising, photographic modelling looking for younger and younger, and overtly sexualising them.
I personally think we better skip spanx and never skip gym
Zhanel Sh If that works for you, enjoy. For many, however, this is neither realistic nor desirable. Even while staying fit, many, many women will still feel the need for Spanx or will still be deemed in need of shape wear. Women have babies and their bodies naturally change. In general, most women have squishy parts. We evolved to survive famine, not to look sleek in a sheath dress. For most, our lives are better spent staying healthy, accepting the rest, and getting back to work. A smooth silhouette is elegant, but it can be achieved with the right clothes and the right fit.
@@edoboleyn Not mention there are a variety of reasons that someone *can't* go to the gym. And there are medical reasons why a person can't or shouldn't wear Spanx. I 100% agree that you can get away without wearing Spanx or being a slave to the gym by being clever about the cut of your clothes.
@@sweetyetunrefined9335 I agree! I have had two children I have a squishy belly because of stretched out skin. I use the cut of clothes to redefine my shape by hiding my belly, look balanced on the bottom and not large in shoulder. I am a firm believer that clothes should do your bidding for you, not you trying to stuff yourself into clothes.
Lol agreed!!!
Mere C healthy and fit is better though. I am not perfect, but I will never wear spanks. Just weird. Sorry.
She looks like the lady that catches everybody attention when you go into an restaurant. Amazing, elegant and successful
"we don't wanna go that low as wearing Nikes" I lol'd

Ladies, my employer sent us to finishing school. The appropriate manners, the untaught customs, having my colors done, applying subtle make up, learning modest and demure behavior, has released career success for me. The business and human resources look for the keys that are taught here as being desirable traits of well-employed people. The keys that get you in the door!
MARILYNANDERSON88 Can I ask what finishing school? Are you in the United States?
@@chaes2040 " The business was Avante", a private agency that was located in Sacramento, California. I recently met with the retired owner, and he said: "I like the way you walk." ... Much of their income was from portfolio management and photography. This aspect made it difficult to be profitable providing the finishing school training in the now world of self promotion, so the valuable modeling and spokes model training is lost. I see your niche as having value in creating an advantage for any person regardless of of career, and especially communications and executive leadership.
MARILYNANDERSON88 it’s like training puppies
@She’s so Lucky Thanks for asking! Having 'colors done' is attending a session by a 'color specialist' that is a person who is educated and has a method of comparing your skin and hair color to colored squares of cloth, or different color backgrounds of your computer screens to your own color of skin hair and eyes, and chooses the colors that flatter and enhance your own natural colors. People look really pale, or grey when wearing their 'off colors' and look vibrant and healthy when wearing their special colors, due to the way our eyes see. It is a scientific method to help people see you in your best light! For example, light golden blonde takes away all the color in my face, however ash blonde gives me a healthy glowing skin color, subtle yet important! Saving money and looking great due to a tiny bit of color by purchasing the best colors for you is the way to go. Have fun!
@She’s so Lucky Hi. You can easily pick up a book such as "Color Me Beautiful" for a clear, concise explanation of how to determine which of the 4 "seasons" your coloring falls into and select your color palette accordingly. The benefits of effect, time & $$$ saved is amazing. Check it out. You'll be do glad you did!
Sadly people are so disconnected from family and friends at times. People sadly dont get any good advice that challenges them as a consequence. You are like an aunty that is reminding women how to behave. Thank you for helping the orphans. Orphans need help too!! Lol. ❤️
For my wedding my Mum in law gave me pearl earins, brooch and necklace that used to belong to her mother. I wore it at my wedding, and I am wearing it with jeans and jumper now, I think pearls are super chic and go with everything really 😊
Totally agree
Literally, you get prettier every day.
I love when she says 'My dear elegant ladies!'
I totally agree, When I know I will be walking a lot, I wear pristine white sneakers with khakis and a polo shirt or with dark jeans and a cashmere sweater, I don't think that sneakers are not elegant, it's the way they look and how they are integrated into an outfit.
I love that she speaks pausingly,it's totally beneficial to our comprehension
I just turned 30 and I love wearing my pearls, I fresh salt water pearls! I wear them at least 3 times a week. I think pearls are so chic and timeless.
True. Especially earing
Pearls are timeless.
I love my pearls especially in the winter when I wear heavier fabrics.
Nofretari I always wear pearls!!!! And I’m in my 20s
I love pearls I have an antique 3 layer thin strand necklace it is beautiful, with matching stud earrings. I must wear it more!
I love pearls but my mom says I look like a grandma in them. 😭
@El perhaps start with small pearl stud earrings or a necklace with pearl accents instead of a string of pearls? Pearls also come in many colors now, pink, purple, even black.
i agree.. always looks classy..
I’ve always loved and worn pearls. I wore them when I was young when nobody else wore them but secretly wanted to. I wear three strands sometimes and a string of pearls around my wrist. I do believe pearls are for the day and diamonds are to be worn at night but diamonds can be worn in the day as well. My thoughts are that if you are wearing what you love in a tasteful manner or it happens to look great on you then you are enjoying being a woman and expressing your true sense of style and that my friends is what all ladies want to do. That is how beautiful trends get started (not tacky ones). Being a woman is a great gift and I don’t want to dress like the status quo but in the direction my imagination leads me.
I am so old school, I love these guidelines. Back when there was more of a hosiery industry, they made very light weight summer pantyhose. It wasn’t uncomfortable! I am so glad you brought up hats…..the problem is there is-no place to put your hat, so I think keeping it on is definitely the least awkward way. Thank you Anna.
What I do with hosiery is, if I need to wear it, but it's hot out, I wear the old-school kind, where they're like socks. Sorry, I don't know what the correct word for them is. I guess you could call them knee-highs? But you know what I mean, the kind that don't have a panty-part on the top, you just put them on like socks, and they have a tight band around the top of each ''sock'', so they stay up. The kind that people used to wear with garter belts. Except now you don't need the belt (although I do have one) because the hoisery has these tight elastic tops, so it stays up that way. I just find that this type of hoisery is MUCH better in the heat. In fact, I wear it in the cold, too, actually it's the only kind I wear. Why? Well because if you want to avoid unpleasant things such as yeast infections, you should only wear breathable, cotton under-things. If you want to get some type of infection, wear regular panty-hose in July.
@@Julia-nl3gq I believe that they're just called stockings
I strongly disagree about your opinion on pearls. A lot of young fashionable classy women wear pearls. It depends on the style. Pearls are elegant especially the gem quality ones like South sea pearls.
What country do you live in? I live in Holland and I haven't seen anyone
I haven't seen pearls in years 😂 I see dainty jewelry more often
@@Latte-girly90 you should look more. Start with pinterest...😊

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Spanx sound like those old-fashioned girdles I heard about when I was a little girl. Horrid!
I was taught elegance by a grande dame, my grandmother from NYC, and sometimes my tastefully and elegant style made people in the west and midwest of the USA uneasy!
When I was little I learned from my mother and grandmother to always wear hosiery, apart from the times when you wear sandals. Never wear hosiery with sandals! So there you go: in the summer we go bare legged because of the sandals, and in the rest of the year we wear hosiery.
I’ve seen women wearing coloured hosiery in the summer with sandals 🤮. It looks so bad!
Pearls are definitely having a moment in the USA. Not so much in traditional necklace form but in headband, earring, accents on clothing, etc. I absolutely love them and so glad this is trending here. Thanks for your lovely video :)
Same in Australia. Pearls have been everywhere for at least 6 months now here. Handbags, hair clips, earrings, necklaces, shoes.
I received my first pearls when I was 10yrs old
So very glad you mentioned pearls... my daughter's wedding which was this past weekend 14 bridesmaids looked very beautiful with pearl earrings of all different styles myself included.... and looked very effortless and elegant... they are coming back for sure!
I am 46 and definitely think it is good to stay on top of trend BUT make sure it works for your body and is tailored for you. Mixing classic pieces with things that are modern is a great way to make sure you're not getting into an old lady rut.
Why I continue watching this channel? 😄 I don't chase rich men, I think I'm well off in terms of elegance and the way I dress, but I come and watch every video from 1st minute till the very end. Why? Three things here: Anna looks beautiful, Anna speaks beautiful (her voice kinda calms me down), and she sometimes speaks about obvious things that I don't mind hearing over and over again. So YES, here we go again! New video from Anna ON! 😄😅😅
Sometimes I feel the same, but I think that we get inspiration not only from the content of the video, but from Anna - the way she carries herself throughout life, the way she speaks etc. And this is awesome too!
@@flavia9464 exactly ;) personality is everything.
I agree with your sentiment.... Plus it is nice to have sophisticated conversation, especially in this day and age 🌹💎
@@Tina-fi2wy absolutely! I miss that in my current surroundings.
Olga Pogozheva me too 😢
Can you make a video on younger style tips? I'm 23 and I sometimes feel that this clothes and rules make me appear more "mature" and that is not something I want to be at university
I would love watch a video about this, i'm 20 and having a hard time finding the right pieces..
Maybe you should look into preppy style.
Chinos or ankle cut trousers, knee length skirts were my go to on days when I didn't have to be in a laboratory. I loved my Guess canvas sneakers and wore cardigans and blazers. Don't fall victim to the hoodie and jeans or even worse pajamas to class trap
Search for images of Kate Middleton wearing jeans.
I would love this as well. I am still in high school and I love Anna because of her fashion tips and how to be a lady but I am not trying to be extremely elegant because it would be too much for college of school. I want to only have sparks of elegance not too much (like hair and nails always done, a little bit of makeup that suits my face, nice coat or two (well shoes and bags too but my country is poor so I can't afford designers things))
Anna, I love how you bring class into the world I love how you have standards without being judgemental We aim to be more like you and elevate our standards!!! You do great work Anna, thank you!!
i feel so special being referred to as an 'elegant lady' 🥺🥺💖
Men are allowed to be elegant too 😁
@@carolannemckenzie3849 thank you (:
I can definitely relate to the 'seeing too much skin' sentiment
I'm a male and I've watched a lot of your videos. What intrigued me initially about your channel was my curiosity about what advice a sophisticated woman would/could give other women about becoming more attractive to (wealthy/successful) men. Were your suggestions just a bunch of baloney or were your recommendations really worthwhile and useful? Speaking as a successful (retired) man, I'd say you almost always hit the bullseye or are always pretty close to the mark. I'm particularly impressed with the thought you put into the advice you give. You always give a well-thought out explanation and the reasoning behind your particular position/recommendation. I also like your central premise that it's important to strike the right "balance" in one's approach to everything really and to avoid both extremes. It's unusual to hear someone argue so articulately in favour of following the middle path. It's not an easy sell but I think it's very sound advice. Congratulations on a job well done.
Donald Speller I agree, her reasoning is really what gets through to me
Welcome to the elegant ladies club Donald! 😁
So in my understanding, to sum up, dressing elegantly should be balanced. Probably trendy but with class, and neat. I always like to use and share the Manilyn Monroe (or was it Edith Head?) quote with my friends: 'Your clothes should be tight enough to show you're a woman, but loose enough to show you're a lady.' I feel like this describes elegance and balance, doesn't it?
I love that we are finally getting back to celebrating and practicing elegance. I'm so elated to see beautiful young people (male and female) coming back to a place where presenting your best self is appreciated.
Balance is key, and there’s a time and place fir everything.
İ agree with you everywhere is naked people which is really so boring
I love pearls!I I think we can update their look by getting creative and wearing them in unconventional ways. For example,we can wear a pearl necklace as a bracelet or hair accessory. It depends on what we're wearing,what we're doiing and our personal style.We can even wear them as hat accessories! 😁 The sky is the limit when it comes to wearing pearls in a way that is elegant yet creative,unique and practical.
I love when she says “my dear elegant ladies.” 👑
The point about the hat surprized me a lot. I was always taught, that wearing a hat inside is rude and impolite (I‘m german-polish). My family as well as school were very strict about this. Wearing a hat during dinner would have never crossed my mind!
wearing a hat indoors reminds me of the Victorian era.
yes! i would actually think its kind of rude to wear a hat during dinner.
Wearing hat inside is banned for men. Women can wear hat even in the church.
Osteopauli I’m also German-Austrian and my grandfather would scold even grown men for wearing hats or hoods indoors, I could never imagine wearing a hat indoors
That rule only applies to men. Women have always been allowed, sometimes required, to wear a hat indoors. For example, in Europe, it's still required for women to wear a scarf or a hat in a Catholic church. Traditionally, it was considered modest for adult women to cover their hair indoors and outdoors every day.
"There is just too much cleavage in this world." Hilarious.
😭
Yes...many people trying too hard 😳🙄😁
Yes....yes there is. Especially when women have those mounds right over the top of their dresses. It always looks odd to me. Stuff those back inside the casing.
Kim Rogers yup j lo
Mehitable Storm yup
Pearls look very good on the executive office look. I wore gray pearls necklace and tiny diamonds for earrings for a job interview and I totally nailed it 🍀. I am 33
Thank you, Anna! I need this kind of advice in my life. Absolutely love your silk blouse !
Im only 22 and i love pearls so muchhh ♥️ I live in Indonesia where pearls are so easy to get fresh from the sea, and pearls jewelry here have a beautiful design, not a plain one, but very modern style. so elegant! I have some collection and i use them almost everyday. 💖💖✨✨
I think its really cool you can fish for your own pearls.
@@Princess0ftheLight I don't think that's what she means. Pretty sure she doesn't fish for her own pearls lol. I think she means it's easier and maybe cheaper to buy pearls in Indonesia since it's a coastal area.
@@msl1689 I don't think that's what she meant...but who knows! Maybe she does! I've gone oyster fishing in Hawaii and Japan and gotten some amazing pearls. If I did that as a tourist, why couldn't Fifi do the same at home in Indonesia?

Thanks for sharing all this tips with us. The world became sort of tacky nowadays and it's so refreshing to have someone on KZhead reminding and explaining about style and elegance
You look flattering in this video. Stepping out of the comfort zone and trying new things does good for your.
I once heard If you show one thing everything else should be covered. For example if your back is out everything else should be covered
I think it makes sense.
sashakimi31 I like this.
It depends on so many variables, I guess...
Exactly, I used that rule for most of my life and it works like magic. I notice, that if I wear shorts with a shirt (button up thin and not tight one, as well as not too sheer) I always look so good and put together, better than just tank top and shorts. Or when I'm wearing something more revealing at the top, I tend to wear pants or midi skirt to balance things out. It is perfect formula, same as - one voluminous item with the "slim fit" one, or as one print item with solid color item. The simple but well thought out looks always make person look elegant, her clothes look more high end.
Sve Tiko This is great advice! I took a little screenshot of your comment to remind myself. 8p I used to wear pencil skirts and sheath dresses above the knee but I’ve been sold those on and replaced them with slightly longer options. If I wear a mini skirt, I feel more comfortable in a light, loose-fitting sweater. It’s all about proportion, in size and shape but also in the skin you show. I mean, when you’re dressing normally. If you’re at home, you’re choring, or it’s too hot, I say put on whatever.
Your Chanel keeps evolving, you are very inspirational! Thank you
Thank you so much. I found your channel this morning and I can't get enough of your content!
Most of these rules are really about the way a lady should look, in order to fit in polite society. Fashion changes over time. Inner elegance, of carriage, behaviour, demeanor, and inner nature, is timeless. 💛
Can you do a video of ur advices u think we should know immediately after high school? Please
Yesss..!!!
I would love that as well!
Yeees
YES
Pffff... Why I didn't have those advices?! I am so sorry that I had etiquette lesson in my school, but the teacher didn't know anything about that. Or maybe we've talk obvious things, but nothing about what to do in a hotel, or in other country, what to do with other cultures, etc.
“An expired bag belongs in the cemetery” 😂🤣😅
Thank you for another interesting and inspiring video! Your comment on how certain people might have an extreme apprach to elegance made me think, and while it is fine to have a very strict approach to these subjects , if it only applies to one's own person, I find extremism in the way we might judge others on how elegant or not they might be is definitely not elegant. And it makes me appreciate even more your work and your approach, because even when you have a clear idea on a subject, it does not come across as extreme or judgmental. I do not tick all the boxes in the ideal elegant lady rulebook, but watching your work is always a pleasure and gives me food for thought, and I try to implement what is possible given my reality and my personality as well. So thank you again!
Good evening ladies🌷I am a lady in the latter part of my 50s.. Yes, I wear pearl earrings everyday because I love them. I love timeless attire( I don’t show cleavage much) and I look 15 to 20 years younger than I actually am 🌷A younger lady that I work with is always trying to re-do how I look with the “eyebrows and nails” in which I’m perfectly happy with the natural tones that isn’t as noticeable as the ones she likes me to wear( I have to keep reminding her, I’m not her age). I love your videos, not to attract an affluent man or relationship, but to refine myself as a feminine lady, and to be a beautiful reminder to the man I love, that I will always stay in good shape, and dress like a classic woman would🌿🌷🌿
I am turning 50 this year and finding my preferences are now switching to more neutral and soft. It's a natural progression. I used to have an edgier style since I was a teen in the 80s and very influenced by the new wave music scene. It's quite cute that your young colleague is trying to relate to you in this way, even if you are in different stages of life. I'm really into aqua fitness and I love the camaraderie and support in the change room afterwards. We have women of all generations running around in various states of undress and sharing tips and tricks about undergarments or hair products or whatever. A few cheeky jokes here and there, all in good fun. All health and happiness to you and the man you love. I have that too and wish everyone to have real love in their lives.
Oh, that purple colour and silky fabric are gourgeous 😍😍
I do love, and have pearls. Have some family heirloom, and I wear some of them. Mostly earrings or a pendant, rather than a necklace, but sometimes for formal events it works, with a dark dress.
You're wearing a color that looks absolutely beautiful on you.
I love pearls. In fact, my first jewelry purchase as young a child was a pink-pearl necklace from a dime store. Now I have real pearls. I never have enough pearls. Earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, in every color and size.
I love them too! My 19 year old daughter does also, and to my surprise, when I returned to college last year, I discovered many of my younger classmates love pearls and wear them daily, but not exactly as their grandmothers did, there are many nice options today.
I love pearls, I think they are classy.
I appreciate your “sneaker” point. Well done. Also, I wish pearls would come back and YES, know when to take off your hat ♥️ I feel the same way about sunglasses. Side note: I LOVE your KZhead channel. You make me feel like I can do anything. Thank you
You have made me aware of so many things that I was never taught when I was younger. I am able to teach my daughter the things you have shown to me. Thank you for all of your wonderful information.
Same here!! I was never taught and now find myself “catching up”, at almost 50 years old. I don’t mind, however, because I want to be elegant and classy!! ❤️❤️
What? I love pearls... Their definitely coming back in fashion
I never got their leave notification
@@sarahsarita4852 😂
sarah sarita Pearls have re-entered the chat 💭 🤣
I never knew they left
I agree, they are extremely in style right now and have made a huge come back - especially the “baroque pearl” look.
I would LOVE a video about where you get your clothes, favorite brands etc.!
I just wore a pearl necklace with a lace dress on my baby shower few months ago. Got so many compliments. Depends how you dress pearls.
Excellent tips! I love your approach to keeping standards high. Actions will elevate as well and so will results!
I wear my pearl earrings all the time and don't feel old 😂
Me too!
Me too
Pearl earrings are the epitome of elegance!
Me too I find them classic and lovely
Count me in on pearls. They don't have to look matronly or old.
Love pearls, they go with everything & add class. When i'm in a hurry & don't have time to pick & choose, i tend to grab pearls, easy choice.
You are soo right about the hosiery. So many, if not most women do not have flawless legs. When I see women wearing a nice dress and they have bare legs, with the usual flaws, I think why would you ever go out like that when you could just put on some nude hosiery and cover all the flaws and have beautiful smooth legs. It's almost the same thing as having a filter on your camera.
When we all start our capsule wardrobe I will keep a pair of capezio shoes, an espedril sandal, an over knee boot & a pair of kitten heeled sling backs 💕 + hosiery!!!
That aubergine color is fabulous on you!!! Question: if one is wearing shorts, is hosiery still required?
shorts are only for the beach.. :)
@@Chahlie that's right.. and also the shorts that looks like a skirt from the front...
Skip on wearing shorts all together.
Shorts are for girls under 18 or the beach/pool. A dress or skirt is far more elegant.
I wore shorts with hosiery in jr high and high school in the late 80s-90. It was a very popular style. I don't think I've worn shirt since I was at least 20. They do not appeal to me. Even at the beach I wear skirts or dresses as cover ups.
I don’t wear heavy sneakers outside the gym. But I have some cute light fashionable light sneakers for when I have to do a lot walking.
Nofretari I agree. I think clunky running sneakers should never be worn out. They just clash with everything, even casual jeans
What brand are they? I’m looking for cute ones. 🙃🤗
@@becuteforme I like Vans or similar slip-ons
Meee too my..,,(Enter Run DMC) Myyy....Ahhhhh..:.Diddas! Adidas
selective outrage thank you! I will check it out.
You are really putting your color courses to work, I love the purple!
Fantastic class Ana . You are an elegant Swiss beauty. Because of your upbringing , background, journey in life , & professional training ,you are very qualified to teach etiquette class.

Fantastic class , Ana. Goo video. Happy New Year.
I love youu!! You are so coool! Thanks for this beautiful things that you share with us💓💓
Back in the 60s that was elegant dressing with the hats gloves pearls.Jackie Kennedy And Audrey Hepburn was so elegantly.
Wearing all that made young women look older than they were.
Diamonds at night we are talking heavy jewelry.. not a tennis bracelet and a small diamonds necklace
I love these videos and I agree with all of your talking points. Thank you!
I'm in love with your earrings! It would be nice if you could list some item/brands you are wearing in each vid .
