So you want classic style. It's not suprising, many women want style that will last through trends, and will have people thinking what a classy women you are. Also, even if you have a trendy style, having the know-how for important events is a good thing to know.



Steps

  1. 1
    Pick clothes that compliment your skin tone, body type, etc. If you don't look good in a pencil skirt and pumps, then don't wear them.


  2. When it comes to bright colors, use them sparingly. Both in make-up and in clothing, a little bright color goes a long way, and if you use too much it will look over-done and garish.
  3. 3
    If you have to splurge on the essentials, then by all means do so! Having one great black dress is much better than having a lot of cheesy, over-colored trendy dresses.
  4. 4
    The essentials you should have are a good LBD( little black dress), some quality jeans, both in black and normal wash, a pair of reasonably comfortable and fashionable black pumps, a quality tailored coat in black, white, or grey, a good string of pearls, and a sturdy handbag in a quiet and classy shade.
  5. 5
    Color is key. Using colors like forest green, scarlet, and royal blue are absolutely perfect. Using deep, jewel-toned colors is great, rather than neon colors.
  6. 6
    Accessorize sparingly. Use just one major accessory, rather than three or four. Using too many accessories or patterns will make you look over-dressed.
  7. 7
    Remember that looks aren't everything. In order to be classic with your style, you must be polite and un-obnoxious. Acting properly will get you a long way in life.

Tips

  • Using chunky necklaces and bracelets, as well as plaid scarves, and headbands is great! A classic style is never supposed to be boring!
  • Remember posture! Proper posture will make you look more composed and together.

 

Warnings

  • Don't try to be something that you aren't. If you have a trendy, bohemian, gothic, or any other style, it is absolutely fine.
  • Many people associate being classy with being stuck-up and snooty. Don't play into those kind of stereotypes.
