Being a woman is showing that you are classy, have manners and take good care of yourself. Being a classy woman doesn't mean that you have to be snobby or rigid, but you have to have dignity and modesty in your actions. If you want to know how to be a classy woman, follow the steps below.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Having a Classy Appearance
Step 1. Improve your posture
Having good posture is an important part of being a classy woman. Be sure to keep your back straight, whether you're sitting or standing, so you don't slouch. Slouching is a sign of laziness and bad manners, so make sure to keep your body and head as straight as possible.
Try to do this when you're alone, so you'll get used to doing it in front of other people too
Step 2. Keep it clean
Take a shower every day and always wear clean, stain-free clothes. If you do something that gets you dirty, quickly change your clothes. If you're in a situation where you sweat (such as when dancing), bring spare clothes.
Step 3. Tidy up yourself
Comb your hair several times a day, and if you need to, tie back your hair neatly if there are parts that are not neat. Don't brush in public because it's not classy; wait until you are alone in the bathroom.
Step 4. Use classy makeup (optional)
If you like to use makeup, then you need to wear it naturally. For use during the day, use natural makeup. Light makeup or no makeup is much better than light makeup. Keep in mind that makeup that is too thick or too light has a tendency to look cheesy.
Step 5. Dress elegantly and fashionable
The key word here is to dress elegantly. Your clothes don't have to be expensive. Keep your clothes in good shape. Clothes that are torn or too revealing are not classy. Clothing should also fit your body and activities, be wrinkle-free, and cover important body parts.
- The point is not to wear clothes that are too short (skirts or shorts), too dreamy, or anything that exposes your belly.
- If you want to wear clothes that are slightly revealing (like a low slit, sleeveless or high slit), make sure you choose only one section. For example, a top with a low cleavage should be paired with a skirt or trousers and a cloth that covers your shoulders.
- Remember, when in doubt, it's better to dress more discreetly than a little too revealingly. If you're unsure of what to wear, it's better to look better than look unprepared. Try not to wear t-shirts or shorts and don't show too much of your body.
Part 2 of 3: Behave Classy
Step 1. Always use polite language
Do not swear or use cruel words. Dirty words are things that do not reflect a woman.
If you find your conversation boring if you don't use profanity, remember that it's only temporary. When you replace these words with more polite ones, you will notice that your language becomes more specific, expressive and interesting
Step 2. Be a good speaker
If you want to sound classy, then you have to speak clearly and avoid mumbling or speaking very loudly. A classy woman will speak confidently and clearly so the other person can understand. Avoid saying "um" or "like" every two seconds, as doing so can make you appear incoherent.
Read books regularly to increase your vocabulary and expressions
Step 3. Pay attention to the people around you
This is the key to being a classy woman, and without it you will come across as arrogant. Pay special attention to elders and always be polite. Classy women don't say offensive or hurtful things to other people.
- If you have to deal with someone, tell the truth as it is, but in nice language and without yelling. It's important to find the right time and place to deal with such people.
- If you want to be a classy woman, you have to respect your maids, strangers, friends of your friends, or neighbors just as much as you would your close friends.
Step 4. Make people around you comfortable
Classy women like social life with other people and sociable. The key to doing this is to make the other person feel comfortable and accepted. If this is difficult for you, try to improve your social skills and be a charismatic person.
Improve your communication skills. This can make other people feel comfortable around you and see you as a good and intelligent woman
Step 5. Complete your code of conduct
A good start is to always be polite and grateful as much as you can. Good manners can save you when you're nervous about meeting other people, because you'll always know how to behave.
- Learn dinner etiquette, party etiquette, work etiquette, and dating etiquette to become the perfect woman.
- Keep in mind that commenting on other people's ethics or attitudes is very unkind. If the situation warrants you to do so (eg the person's behavior could be harmful to himself or others, or is very contrary to accepted moral values), then you may do so.
Step 6. Avoid gossiping about other people
Spreading gossip or saying bad things behind other people's back is not a classy woman. Even if you feel angry or upset with someone, gossiping is not the solution. If you want to be a classy woman, then you have to hold back and don't say negative things about other people, unless you want to get into trouble.
Keep your Facebook classy. Post something positive and don't take your anger out on other people in your status
Step 7. Believe in yourself
Being classy and polite doesn't mean you're someone who voices other people's opinions. If you feel that your opinion might sound hurtful, don't lie, but change the subject to something else. If someone asks a question that shouldn't be asked, don't feel compelled to answer. Make a joke or play the question to the questioner.
When you voice your opinion, do so without turning to the other person or getting too emotional
Part 3 of 3: Going Beyond Limits
Step 1. Read books
Read novels to find role models who have good manners and ethics. Jane Austen's novels are very appropriate because they provide an overview of good and bad manners and morals, and are a must-read for anyone who wants to be a classy woman. Reading classic novels can also make you a well-rounded woman, making you classy.
By reading a lot, you will be more amazing when you talk to other people
Step 2. Find classy friends
If you want to be a classy woman, then you have to find one or more friends. If your friends don't support your mindset, then you may have to find someone else who can help you become classier. These people need to be confident, convincing, and maybe a little older and mature so you can learn from them.
Your friends should push you and not knock you down. Make friends with people who make you better than you were before
Step 3. Be a responsible citizen
Being a classy woman means being a good and responsible citizen. What does it mean? Lots. Don't leave your shopping cart in the parking lot after you've loaded your shopping cart; return it to its original place. Give pedestrians the opportunity to cross while you are driving. Open the door for older people, even if you're in a hurry.
If you drop an item at the supermarket, clean it up or tell someone what happened. Don't avoid the mess you made yourself
Step 4. Eliminate the habit of women who are not classy
If you want to be classy, then you have to eliminate some things that can make you less classy than you really are. There are a few things you should avoid:
- Chewing gum noisily
- Chewing food noisily
- Burping in public
- Drunk in public
- Shows bad body language
- swear
- Rolling your eyes
- Farting in public
- Picking your nose in public
- Kissing in public
Step 5. Take responsibility for your actions
Admitting what you've done in the past is a hallmark of a classy woman. You'll be classless if you play games with other people, blame your problems on someone else, or say "I might be able to do X if Y didn't…". Stop complaining or making excuses and understand that life is defined by you and that you have the power to be the classy woman and the decent life you want to be.
It's not classy to complain about what you don't have. You'll look classy when you realize that there's a lot of work to be done to make you who you want to be
Tips
- Be the woman you should be. Education and kindness are very important to be a classy woman.
