Classy is not the same as snobbish, but having style and caring for being polite and showing genuine interest in others. Classy also means being confident and loving yourself for who you are. This article teaches you how to live a classy and calm life. When you're done reading, you'll know how to be a classy girl, or: selfless, kind, caring, and responsible.
Step
Step 1. Choose what to fight and choose who is your friend
There are some things that really need to be addressed. Defend anyone who cannot defend themselves (mentally disabled, animals, children, etc.). Watch out for people who seem to enjoy fighting. If someone is being rude to you, ignore it completely or, once you're calmer and clearer, explain how you feel about their actions and find a solution. You can also treat them politely while maintaining your stance. Be polite, but make it clear without being rude or hurtful that you don't appreciate what they do. Never follow their ways, and don't be quick to judge others. Associate with positive and polite people who are supportive and live a classy and intelligent lifestyle just like you.
Step 2. Have a taste in style
You need to know about fashion. Try reading more fashion magazines to learn what types of clothes go well together and how to wear classy outfits. Make sure you create your own fashion and style because you have to choose clothes that suit your personality. Having a typical mediocre style is better than always keeping up with the latest trends.
Have good taste in dress. Dress modestly and avoid clothes that taste bad. Necklines that are too low, skirts that are too short, tops that reveal a tummy, and other revealing clothing can make a girl appear disrespectful to her body and herself. T-shirts with inappropriate words, logos, or sexual innuendos make a girl look desperate for attention. Classy girls don't want attention
Step 3. Keep the body clean
Remember to always take care of yourself: combing your hair, keeping your nails clean and tidy, brushing your teeth, and taking a shower. Do not overspray perfume. Excessive use of perfume is completely unattractive and will not make you any cleaner, no matter what people think. A clean body is very important, while excessive choice is very unclassy and unpleasant. Never leave your hair greasy because it looks dirty and disgusting.
Take care of your skin. The skin should be well cared for and free from blemishes. Wash your face daily and remember to always wear sunglasses or a hat. Try to wear a face mask once a week
Step 4. Never crack your knuckles
For others, this habit may be seen as annoying or manly.
Step 5. Speak calmly
It shows politeness. If you speak loudly, you will appear to be seeking attention. Speaking loudly in public not only annoys people, but also doesn't consider the other people around. Listen to the other person and always look the other person in the eye.
Step 6. Never bend over
Good posture is an important and rare attribute. Good posture can also improve overall health.
Step 7. Have good manners
Parties are fun, but don't be fooled by immature and irresponsible behavior. If you're at a party, be sure to socialize, but speak quietly and don't monopolize the attention. If you drink, drink only sparingly and within your tolerance level. A drunken woman is not a classy woman. If you are not old enough, DO NOT DRINK.
Step 8. Develop conversational skills
Classy girls don't talk about sexual topics and other inappropriate things. Instead, he talks about intellectual topics (books, art, politics, or recent events), or fashion and travel.
Develop vocabulary, and stay away from slang terms. Never swear at or make racial, homophobic or opinionated comments. It will only make you look ugly and rude
Step 9. Smile
Classy people are friendly people, they always brighten the face with a smile. This is an inexpensive way to improve appearance.
- Be nice. If you want to be classy and likeable, you have to be kind. It's much better to be liked by other people so being kind and treating people properly will go a long way. Arrogance is not classy at all because it reflects rudeness, while classy people are not rude.
- Treat the people who serve you in a kind and friendly manner (for example, waiters). If you want to know who is educated and classy, look at the way they treat other people with lower status, not how they respond to equal or superior people.
Step 10. Make sure your hair is always clean, neat and simple
Wavy curls with headbands or ponytails are considered very appropriate in today's society.
Step 11. Don't just pay attention to appearances
Parents will really appreciate a daughter who cares more about her education and work ethic than her nails. It reflects how people in authority figures view you.
- Responsible. Classy girls leave a place in conditions that are at least as good as when they came. Classy people always take care of their own trash and belongings and don't expect someone else to handle it, unless they are in a restaurant with a waitress on duty to clean up. And when helped, the truly classy person immediately recognizes and expresses gratitude and appreciation while the arrogant and spoiled person assumes that it should be and ignores the person providing the help.
- Socially sensitive. You should be generous, but don't force yourself to please others. If you always try to please people, then you will be used by others. Limit time and availability, draw boundaries with other people so they know your limits.
Step 12. Choose words wisely
Classy women listen more than talk. A broad vocabulary is very important, but don't use words you don't know the meaning of. Use words to express yourself clearly. Also, don't correct other people's grammar mistakes. Differences in background, family life, and education influence differences in speech, and many people use slang to amplify the effect. What's more, no one likes to be justified by someone who pretends to know everything.
Step 13. Know what you are talking about
Intelligence is key in classy chats. You don't have to be a geek to be smart, nor do you need to show off, but ignorance of the latest events is not a classy girl quality. Study multiple subjects to appear broad-minded.
Step 14. Don't swear
Most people agree that swearing shows an unbalanced character. You'll be much more impressive and influential in other people if you don't use swearing often or avoid bad words completely.
Step 15. Be assertive, but not domineering
Avoid passive-aggressive thinking that will only hurt you later. Calm assertiveness displays maturity, wisdom, and self-confidence. A classy demeanor requires balance, and assertiveness is a prime example of this concept.
Step 16. Find a classic shade that best suits your skin and eye tone
As an example:
- Blue eyes: orange (complementary), dark blue, dark purple, light green, gray, white, black, turquoise (analog), blue-purple (analog), dark red. Colors to avoid are bright reds, lime greens, light pinks, light blues, pale colors (almost the same as white).
- Brown eyes: all kinds of pinks, dark grays, any very dark shade, yellow (accentuates eye color despite its not-so-good reputation), green (accentuates eyes too). There are no colors to avoid, brown is a neutral color so it goes well with just about anything.
- Green eyes: purple (highly accentuates eye color), dark red (green complementary color), dark blue, black, brown, bone white. Colors to avoid: gray because it weakens the natural color of the iris, making the eyes appear dim. However, if your eyes are bright green or bluish green, gray will make it stand out. Yellow, bright red (this complementary combination would be overkill if the two were intense), pure white (very John Travolta), orange, and green (which drowned out eye color).
- Skin color. For rosy-toned skin (radiates blue/pink after hard work/freckles): cool tones (blues, purples, greens, and all analogous colors in between, including red-purple), black, and gray. Colors to avoid: yellow and its adjacent analogue color, any red (sorry), and white. Choose dark orange or reddish orange wisely. Meanwhile, for olive or tan skin (yellow/brown tones, no freckles): warm colors or neutral colors. Avoid yellow, but gold is great for tan or dark skin, you can wear almost any color. Gold would be very pretty. For red hair: Gold, light brown, coral red, purple, dark or light green (avoid Christmas green), and dark blue.
Tips
-
Intelligent.
Classy girls should have good topics to talk about. So, learn what you find interesting and important in life. Read books and increase vocabulary, don't use "eng" all the time, it's a sign of lack of education and nervousness. People will be amazed that you are intelligent and have self-confidence which may feel very comfortable.
- Smile. Smile is charity.
-
Appreciate your strengths.
If you have a skill or talent, such as drawing, dancing, singing, or playing a musical instrument, hone it to get better, don't hide it. Let others know your talents by displaying a painting or playing a musical instrument in front of someone. If you're good at acting, look for roles in theatrical plays.
- Don't dye your hair with unnatural colors. Also, avoid unnecessary piercings or tattoos. If you choose a tattoo, choose a beautiful or poetic design, such as 'Let it Be' on the back of the neck. Don't pick a favorite band name, gender, or anything like that.
- Tattoo and piercing Appearances convey a very strong message to other people. You may be judged unfavorably by an important person or at an unfavorable time, such as right before an event that will play a significant role in the future (for example, being judged by a potential employer or while trying to get a higher position at a prestigious company). Therefore, consider carefully whether a tattoo or piercing in a visible body part is a good idea. Although outward appearance does not determine a person's personal qualities, appearance can reflect the extent to which he is willing to be judged by the world. Also, remember that tattoos and piercings are individual expressions, but they are permanent or difficult (and expensive) to remove if you change your mind later. If you're unsure of the impact, forget about it and find other ways to express yourself, such as creating art, writing poetry, through hobbies, etc.
- Wear a simple necklace that complements the outfit, but isn't too flashy (pearls are a very classy accessory).
Warning
- Forgive yourself after realizing that your behavior went too far, apologize to anyone who may have been offended by your attitude, and move on to a better way of life. That's called classy!
- Try to make a difference in someone's life regardless of their social status.
- You might be considered arrogant. Ignore it. People who say it may be insecure and envious because they lack class and principles.
- Changing behavior might be awkward. If so, remember that you are trying. A classy person is a person who constantly displays a classy attitude. Focus on attitudes and behavior, not feelings.
- Don't be presumptuous.
