Hey friends! This is a bit of a fun video on elegance! Elegance is in the eye of the beholder, what is classy to one person, is not classy to another. But these are just my thoughts, and a few hacks on how to look elegant on a budget 😊🥰❤️xx

Elegance comes from within. You are correct that elegant people don't use bad language. Stop saying that you are sorry for being correct. No need to apologise.

Anyone who is in London and interested in being professionally fit for a brassiere needs to go to the Rigby & Peller shop. It’s quite an experience, and you will come away with a perfectly styled under carriage. A corsetiere will pop you in a dressing room, chat about your concerns and have you strip to the waist. She will then just stare at your shape for a minute, NEVER even pulls out a tape measure, and leaves you for a bit, returning with a fabulous selection of PERFECTLY fitting bras which are all stored in walls full of tiny drawers much like Olivander’s Wand Shop in Harry Potter (at least the Knightsbridge shop is like that). It’s amazing. Best fitting EVER. Too bad they lost their royal warrant.

Uniqlo is amazing for good quality affordable basics. My mum also taught me to never wear clothes that have frayed seams, pilled fabrics (from too many washes) and wear bras with good cutting/structure. it’s okay to bring off the rack clothes to a good seamstress to alter them to YOUR body type. A few inches off a dress, a little cinch to a waist or neckline works wonders on how an outfit looks on you!

I buy most of my bras from Primadonna and it is so nice to have bras that you don’t have to constantly adjust. In addition to language and posture I think clean skin, and healthy hair and nails also go a long way in making people look ‘expensive’.

Someone once told me, "Cursing is a sign that you've lost control, the same as raising your voice in anger." All of my underwear are skin-toned (beige, in my case), with smooth cups (I'm glad to see the gingham pattern- lace cups look lumpy under my clothes). In my opinion, relaxed confidence is classy.

I've found wearing a corset helps me not slouch and reminds me to sit up straight. I find clothing that skims the body but isn't skin tight looks great on my top half but in my lower body a fit and flare balances out the proportions of my lower half -my hips being smaller than my shoulders. Finding the fit for your body shape is life changing !

I'm so sorry but I disagree with the clothes recommandation from UR. Elegance and polyester/acrylic do not go hand in hand (exception made for a rainy jacket or specific items that require plastic). 88$ for a polyester jacket is not a good deal, you will sweat (inelegant) and it won't stay nice for a long time... It seems that most of their clothes are made out of plastic :(

Just goes to show, styles are one big circle.

Bras can be so tricky to fit properly but look off and possibly ruin an outfit when they dont fit well. I have two from Wacoal that are perfect for me and a third that I bought in a cup size larger for pre cycle swelling. My chest requires bras with a very narrow gore which is a little trickier to find but worth buying multiples when I do.

Elegant people do not swear in public, lol. All jokes aside your mother is right, a vocabulary is very important for not only communicating when angry but in general. The fit of clothing changes when people do not were the correct foundation garments. It's not just the right color bra but the correct size of undergarments and body shapewear. I have seen many a dress ruined because shapewear was not worn. Also, there are many people who could benefit from etiquette classes.

The reality is different. You look elegant if you are tall and thin. Yes, if you wear basic and coats and boots versus sneakers and jeans it's more classy, however, all the efforts wearing cheap fabrics if you are not extremely beautiful does not make the same effect. And if the cheap garment is not super new it's immediately visible.

Hi Sophie, I just found this video accidently and I just saw the first minutes. I paused the video in the moment your were saying elegant people don't swear and I did not watch any further. Do you know why? This is part of my philosophy that I built it when I was teenager not trying to be elegant, but trying to be a better person and choose education to walk in the life. in good and bad times. Later on in my adult life came the elegance but without searching for themI was always searching fot education. I will continue watchimg your video later on, but I just confirmed that if you choose to be educated, directly you manage to be elegant. Then comes the outside image just complete who you are. Have a wonderful day, Eleni.

Still, I can't help but think of the fact that if you can spend £1000 on any piece of clothing/accessory, then you're in no need of a budget.
