Whether you would like to admit it or not, we all want to dress as classy as our lifestyle permits. Unfortunately, many find it hard to achieve unless you have a fat pocket or a name to help you live through such, like our favorite
Hollywood celebrities.
But is it really? Well, if you look at the dictionary, 'Class' is defined as elegance and sophistication. It doesn't say anything about wealth or social status. In other words, you don't have to be filthy rich to be classy. Here are some tips to help you get started:
1. Posture

Improving your posture is a must since it affects how people perceive you. Posture exudes confidence and authority as well, so improve your posture.
2. Less is More

A rule that many classy women go by is, “show only one thing, and cover up the others entirely.” So if you already sported a bare back dress make sure that your cleavage is well hidden.
3. Right Fit

Too tight clothes are not classy since wearing them can be uncomfortable and constricting, which can show in your face. Wearing baggy clothes will be a problem too since it’ll make you look frumpy and bigger. The rule of thumb is to choose clothes that really fit.
4. Develop conversational skills

Eleanor Roosevelt once said that great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Classy ladies definitely don’t talk about whose dating who and other trashy topics. Increasing your vocabulary and not swearing can help as well.
5. Smile

Class is not something you can be born with. Even if you're not born with a silver platter you can still look elegant and sophisticated.
