⢠Dress modestly: if you want to stand out from the rest, you must go against the social norms of the time, ironically, this aligns with modestly perfectly. While our society focuses on praising the displaying of skin and provocative outfits, in order to be truly elegant you must learn to see the beauty in embellishing yourself in more conservative, yet tasteful and of great quality clothing. Opt for pieces that will flatter your silhouette, depict delicate embroidery, and enhance your feminity in a charming manner, modest doesn't have to mean bland or unflattering, quite the opposite actually:
⢠Choose the right color scheme: elegance isn't boastful, when choosing the type of hues for your particular look, pay close attention to the way that such colors compliment your complexion, how they combine with each other, and whether the colors enhance your dainty and elegant image, or not. Safe bets are usually nudes, monochromatic outfits & all black/white looks. When going for an all white outfit, for example, choose a shade that is more sophisticated such as ivory, steam, or white dove, as examples:
⢠Avoid exaggerated accessories: these include extra high heels, extravagant glasses or jewelry. You should instead opt for tasteful yet striking pieces. Heels should be of moderate length, and your entire choice of accessories should serve as complimentary for your outfit, not be the main focus of your outfit:
⢠Do not be overbearing with perfume: much like the previous point, perfume should enhance your overall presence and it's an essential part of a high class lady's grooming, but too much of a good thing can turn sour. With your perfumes be mindful of the places you are visiting and choose the type of scent that not only fits that environment better, but also spray just enough for it to be pleasantly felt, without giving a headache to those around you.
⢠Maintain your nails and overall body properly kept: a woman that is seen with her nails properly styled with smooth skin that is moisturized will let others know immediately that she is high maintenance and her sense of self worth is high because she ensures her body is properly polished and groomed. Similar to the color for your clothing, make sure your nail polish is consistent with the color pattern of the outfit you are wearing. Avoid overly long nails, nails that are falling off or showing signs of major wear, colors and patterns that are extravagant, etc. Colors like white are safe bets, but depending on your skin tone more hold colors like yellow or pink can suit you better as well:
