I appreciate your disclaimer that just because a trend is not “classy” doesn’t mean it’s trashy. And that you like some of the less “classy” looks! I think some other fashion UA-camrs really look down upon and shame other people’s fashion styles. Fashion doesn’t have to be about looking polished or rich to other people. It’s about what makes you feel happy and confident!
Love this. Always happy to work out as I get to watch you :) only thing I did NOT agree with you in are metallics. I wear my gold lame slip skirt from JCREW anywhere, anytime. But my bright super shiny silver faux leather jeans from Gap, well I always have to “turn them down” with lots of dark and a longer shirt, but I still adore them. I bet you just haven’t found your metallic significant other !
At this age basics should have more lively and less neutral, earthy color palette. That's it. Plus flowar prints should get smaller, more delicate. But designs can still be classical basics if some likes it. Plus good rule of thumb would be - after 60 navy blue or emerald green shall become your black. Otherwise black will underline all imperfections of your complection and silhouette.
In my 50’s and I love both loud colors and tone down colors. Red , green and pink are my favorite however I love my white and light blue collar shirt, I am a blazer typ of a lady - I love a blue /black blazer 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤴🏼
My issue is the weight I've gained that I feel makes me look awful. Wear a tucked in shirt? No way. I used to be a size small and now I am a 1X or so and feel I look ugly in everything.
My style has always been Quiet Luxury. Several years ago, I started re-using the old term Dressing Quietly, to me that is the essence of good taste. I also prioritize comfort really highly, which is why I hate synthetics (the rayon-family fibers like Tencel are good, they breathe, unlike the plastics). I do love some trends to keep my wardrobe updated, but choose them carefully, they have to fit in with my simple classic style and my color palette. I never liked logos and I can’t afford designer items anyway, but I prioritize quality, especially in fabrics/materials, over any other criterion. I shop in my the upper High Street range for these items, at brands like: Theory, Lily Silk, Equipment, Banana Republic, MM La Fleur, etc. Long ago I purged the all-synthetic items from my wardrobe, and recently I purged almost every item that has a blend of synthetics and other fibers (some are “holding” on a rail until I can find similar items in better fabrics, or I’m sure I won’t regret donating them). It’s hard to go wrong with classic styles in premium fabrics/materials like leather, and in one’s best colors, I think that is a great starting outline for building a better wardrobe. I spend more per item, so have to buy fewer, but everything I buy is a timeless, quality “forever” item. I still wear clothes and accessories from 40 years ago, it’s hard to find that quality nowadays. Note: I just don’t understand the enduring popularity of short denim cutoffs/Daisy Dukes, in this country. They always look trashy and only we Americans wear them, but then, we’re not known for elegant style in this country. The first thing I would do if someone wanted to elevate their style is purge these awful shorts.
Love this! I think as we all deep dive into our own style we often end up at the same place as you have. The more you pay attention to it, the more you want quality over quantity and timeless rather than fads ❤️ However, I will say that denim shorts are my go to for when I think my bottoms might get dirty I.e. doing anything with my toddler in the spring and summer! 😀
Here we have something in common. However I have always liked bold colors but without patterns. Simply plain yet bold colors. Porbably has to do with my skin shade since natural medium olive skin does not look best in too pale or too earthy colors. But aside from this my taste has a lot in common with your taste. And for a good reason. My grannies as nobile class women instilled in me old ways of going about it specific for their own social class, so no wonder. Fast fashion and synthetics or any tendency to mindlessly follow latest short-lived trends was always looked down own by senior female members of my family and a big no-no for which me and my cousins were always told off by all grannies, aunts and even own mothers. What is more we were also taught that good quality clothes can last for long enough to be passed on between generations, even between genders.
Your videos are always fun, Anna! I ignored the logo trend, because I don't like wearing someone else's name on my person. For this reason, I invested in some Bottega Veneta bags - long before they became trendy, and while they were relatively affordable. I even have a clutch in metallic green, with an appliqued scarab in leather! Never a logo in sight
another Great Video, I'v always styled quiet luxury, I'm 62 & just stick with classy/basic looks, I don't like spending a lot of $$ on something that shows someone elses name/initials on it, but do like my coach bags, lol, as usual, I love all of the outfits Ann is wearing!
I just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. After having 3 kids in 3 years in my 30s, and going from a size 4 to an 8, I wasn’t sure how to dress anymore. I was stuck in skinny jeans or leggings and tight tees or loose sweaters… I was dressing like a teen from the early 2000s lol. Now I’m trying out wide leg jeans, trousers, button downs, blazers…. And some classic accessories with my outfits. I feel so much better about myself and feel like I’ve found my style. I don’t need to dress like a 20 year old anymore but I’m not a dowdy old woman either lol. And I’m following your advice of getting dressed in something that makes me feel good every day.
Same! Minus the 3 kids! Thank you for helping me feel put together and confident at a size that I have NEVER felt confident at.🥰 Also, I personally agree with all the classy woman trends.
Dresses exist in female wardrobe for a reason. Women, not males get pregnant and their body chnages during and after pregnancy and this is what dresses got invented for. So try to learn what type of dresses look best on your current body shape and experiment with them. Instead od leggins I do recommend jeggins and natural fabric leggins- made of linien or lyocell or even silk. Try loose, wide legged trousers mixed with more tight fitting body.
You are so charming and fun to watch, but more importantly you are teaching us just how to be aware and daring with our wardrobes. Thanks for such a fun video.
Navy is a great color on you Anna. I always luv your videos. 😊 I find that my style is constantly evolving but I am getting better at finding what suits me.
I agree with all your choices but one. I have a sequined boxy t-shirt in a blush color that I love to wear with shorts, skirts or jeans. It is almost a basic in my opinion because of its simplicity and color. I love the first dress you showed in the disco trend.
How to make a corset look elegant ... white peasant style blouse with cuffed wrists and stand up mandarin style collar, tucked into a full black maxi skirt, and then wrap a black jacquard Victorian style corset over top. Looks quite stunning with laced up 'granny' shoes or boots and a jaunty black hat. The over all look sorta looks a bit like a full ball gown over a peasant blouse but a little more elevated. I've worn this myself and I wish I had pictures to share.
When you mentioned the huge bag on the not-classy list, it reminded me of the episode on 'Succession' when Tom skewers Greg's date saying "she’s brought a ludicrously capacious bag. What’s even in there, huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean, Greg, it’s monstrous. It’s gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job" LOL and it wasn't even as big as these new bags but a boxy Burberry.
I was given a beautiful Chanel bag that had the smallest black logo on the smooth black leather. I love that it’s not a super loud quilted bag and fairly unnoticeable. These days I feel much safer carrying it and love that it doesn’t SCREAM look at me. 😉
I love how careful you were not to offend. 😅 I’ve tried denim on denim in front of the mirror and just can’t get with it. The only daytime metallic I might wear is a shoe. I’m not a fan of looking at other people while they’re wearing sheer stuff with underwear. It makes me feel dirty lol.😂 I’m sure if I wore it people would run screaming!
On the metallic topic, I ordered a pair of darker silver ballet flats which actually have the look of a slight wedge. Not super delicate, but I plan to wear them with basics: denim or bottoms in black, white, gray, navy. Looking forward to playing with them!!
I seem to slowly adjust from initially often disliking new trends to starting to like them (or at least not strongly dislike them) the more I see them on other people. But it can often take me so long to adjust, the trend is on its way out by the time I’m ready to start wearing it. Even so I at least like to know whether I’m vaguely on trend or not. It doesn’t really matter much to me until I go to a slightly dressier that usual event and then the trends become more obvious. I live in NZ so its not usually as cutting edge here though - I think we tend to follow the US and are usually a season behind (eg everyone is dressing for spring, while we are heading into everyone’s previous winter).
Classy and elegant is an attitude as well. If you have the right attitude you definitely can carry off the retro/disco style. It's all in the attitude baby😉 in my opinion
I really enjoyed this video Anna you never disappoint 😊 I dont know if you would agree but to me, another item that may or may not look classy is leopard print. And i LOVE leopard print, its my favourite print for as long as i can remember, but I have noticed over the years that its a print that can easily veer into the opposite of classy territory if not done right. Maybe you can bless us with some Do's & don'ts of leopard/animal print in a future video, pretty please? 😊 Much love from South Africa ❤
Ladies, I’m 60 and the free people denim mani, come as you are is $118. I just ordered a second color. You can cut the hem when 6:38 this trend is over and it’s still a great skirt I get compliments every time I wear it
I define my style as classic, elegant, comfortable and timeless and I loved a different set of trends for this spring summer season: 1. Elevated basics, 2. Quite luxury, 3. Wide leg pants, 4. Denim on denim and 5. Satine midi ir maxi skirts Definitely will not wear: 1. Metalics during the day (or night), 2. Denim maxi skirts, just don't feel the vibe, 3. Oversized bags, I did it last summer for a glight and I hated it! 4. Low rise boggy jeans, I don't have the body type and haven't worn one since I was 14, too uncomfortable and 5. Big platform shoes, I'm all about comfort and I can't imagine walking in these huge heels all day or night (I love the kitten heels and it's more than enoght). Love your videos Xoxo from Canada
Have a friend, who has a beautiful silver bob. Wears only black, white with one accent of red, blue or yellow and sometimes green. She always looks striking, classy at the same time and her own unique person. Wish I could pull that off.
WONDERFUL video‼️My advice...I'm old... EVERYTHING IN MODERATION ‼️A little of any of this is great on the right body. I have NEVER understood the dislike of denim on denim. I love it‼️Love you‼️
Oh, honey hush! Ain’t nothing wrong with denim on denim!! As a child who came of age in the seventies, I’ve done denim on denim for a long time!!! A lot of us ‘old folks’ have and we don’t care if it’s trendy or not! Nice straight leg jeans, a tank or cami and a big denim shirt--you can’t go wrong-well, unless you’re going to a dress-up affair. Keep it up; you’re a breath of fresh air!!!!! Disco print? Perhaps, maybe, I’ll see something when I’m shopping that I actually like, example-the last few things you showed, especially the blue cutouts or the or the next one, but I’d have never thought of that before right now as a disco print. SO, answering your question, I suppose it could be classy and elegant IF paired with the right accessories and for the right event.
Yes! I'm with you on everything except denim maxi skirts. Chambray and flowy? Yes. But stiff denim? No. And yeah, I have succumbed to the Canadian tuxedo in so many combos and permutations. I am loving it. BTW: I think ripped-out knees on jeans are soooooooo over.
I used to think the same about a maxi denim skirt until I tried one, the thick denim has kept me warm all winter and when I get tired I can always shorten the skirt
Ripped jeans really shouldn’t have ever been in. To me it’s trashy. We all know they don’t get there by hard work but because they bought it that way. 🤦🏻♀️
Classics and timeless dressing are what I feel most comfortable wearing. However, I do have SOME more suddle pieces listed in the trendy portion. As you said, they aren't bad, just not typically a classic timeless look. To keep MY wardrobe current, adding a trendy piece does keep me interested in MY own closet. I need nothing. What I want is different. I want to be classy, but I need to be current or I over shop chasing the "today" look. Hopefully, that makes sense. 😊😊😊
I think a lot of the over the top items or trends only ever could have flourished online as influencer outfits, or a runway concept that’s never going to translate well to most people irl. I think sometimes in the US we are also very “hey you do you” and thus people feel like they CAN just wear whatever they like, which…yes they can, but if they expect others to think they look classy or good? Not necessarily.
The printed dresses at the end of the video can be classy, depending who wears them and how they are worn. They really remind me of Pucci designs that were worn by very fabulous ladies. I would say classy enough …
Great video, but I haven’t heard anyone say “classy” in awhile; it actually is used in jest for something that is decidedly NOT “classy”. And instead of “quiet luxury”-which I like-I think the term you mean is “stealth wealth”; it’s everywhere. Just an FYI to us from my two college kids. 🙂❤
Transparent or naked dresses are not classy and elegant… they are fun, but showing your underwear is neither classy or elegant. Have fun with it, absolutely 😂
Great video! I bought a silver pleated maxi skirt. The only thing that looked good with it was silver pointy toe booties. So after struggling with a top or sweater I gave up as it was a one look. If I can’t wear something several ways it’s a struggle for me. So I gave them to a friend who can pull everything off as she is young and gorgeous! Intend to dress more the Row looks with an edgy twist. Hugs xoxo
White denim skirt. White. Classier! Metallic during the day? Yes! One item, dressed down, tho...so I wouldn't do gold with the white pants, but would do it with blue jeans, and a Birkenstock, or similar. But yes! Why not? Definitely a window on this trend, but always great for evening.
A lot of what you're saying is spot on. Classy women pick wisely from trends according to their style. In the 70s, I wore a black, midi lenght wrap dress. Danskin type. I thought I was all that! What a memory.
Luv your blouse today, and your lashes & hair…good job! The style tips are so informative… you go girl 💙 no metallic in the DAY..okay 👌wow to those clunky 👡’s …dangerous… & your flower 3d shoes are great. I kinda like some of the Retro print…😊
Great video Anna Reid ! People who overdue it with a ton of jewelry, 💎 belts, hats 👒 and scarves , ALL at the same time..that’s not too classy BUT to each their own and they are fun to look at lol ❤
How about wearing what you like and not caring what other people think? Some of us can't afford designer stuff (logo'ed or not), and we want to be ourselves.
I like brightening up a neutral colour outfit with a sequin scarf during the day, I guess a metallic accessory or other small item would also work during the day, or a metallic that is not too shiny
Hii, I think there is a difference between a classic look, to saying something is classy. When I hear the word classy, for some reason it brings to mind social class, which I don’t think applies. You can wear things that are “classic” or timeless, without bringing in the concept of social class. Just my opinion 😊
I agree. I don’t like the word classy. It originates with the word class, which refers to social strata and money. If you say someone is classy as a compliment, you don’t mean lower-classy. You are saying upper-classy (aka monied). I know I may ruffle a few feathers by saying this, but there is a very Euro-centric bias in that word. Styles often looked at s trashy or tacky are sometimes the ones embraced by women of color, no matter how rich some of them might be. That isn’t meant to trash Anna’s style. If I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t watch this channel. I just hope our society opens up enough to embrace all unique looks without judgment.
@@edennis8578 the word wasn’t classic, which, refers to something timeless but “classy” which refers to socioeconomic status. Don’t get your panties in a wad over semantics.
I love the fact that you give so many great advices and share your opinion with us rather the just saying ,, this looks classy don't wear that that is not how you want to look" and from this video I understood your style which is cool in my opinion definitely subscribing
When I think denim on denim....I can't help but remember Justin Timberlake and Britney spears in their matching denim on denim outfits to the 2001 ama awards.....😂😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate your disclaimer that just because a trend is not “classy” doesn’t mean it’s trashy. And that you like some of the less “classy” looks! I think some other fashion UA-camrs really look down upon and shame other people’s fashion styles. Fashion doesn’t have to be about looking polished or rich to other people. It’s about what makes you feel happy and confident!
Love this. Always happy to work out as I get to watch you :) only thing I did NOT agree with you in are metallics. I wear my gold lame slip skirt from JCREW anywhere, anytime. But my bright super shiny silver faux leather jeans from Gap, well I always have to “turn them down” with lots of dark and a longer shirt, but I still adore them. I bet you just haven’t found your metallic significant other !
I agree with all of it except the metallics. Please, not during the day. It just looks so plastic.
The secret to looking classy and elegant is simple. Stay away from trends😘
Agreed 💯
❤
Tru
Okay grandma
Knowing what not to invest in is a main reason why I watch these!
Elevated basics 100% for women in my age bracket (I’m 64). Trendy, even if it’s pretty, just doesn’t hit the same once you’re over 60.
At this age basics should have more lively and less neutral, earthy color palette. That's it. Plus flowar prints should get smaller, more delicate. But designs can still be classical basics if some likes it. Plus good rule of thumb would be - after 60 navy blue or emerald green shall become your black. Otherwise black will underline all imperfections of your complection and silhouette.
In my 50’s and I love both loud colors and tone down colors. Red , green and pink are my favorite however I love my white and light blue collar shirt, I am a blazer typ of a lady - I love a blue /black blazer 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤴🏼
@@agatastaniak7459I will never love navy. Black will always rule!
My issue is the weight I've gained that I feel makes me look awful. Wear a tucked in shirt? No way. I used to be a size small and now I am a 1X or so and feel I look ugly in everything.
Absolutely. 😊
Metallic accessories with natural fibres and colours look fabulous
Love metallic accessories! ❤️
I love a trend but I always thought those micro mini bags were sooo ridiculous!! Same with the massive ones, but at least you can put stuff IN those☺️
The mini bags look like a 5 yr olds “play dress up purse” to me

Rosette! The 3-D appliqué is a rosette.

I agree with all your choices but one. I have a sequined boxy t-shirt in a blush color that I love to wear with shorts, skirts or jeans. It is almost a basic in my opinion because of its simplicity and color. I love the first dress you showed in the disco trend.
I like the flowers on shoes - as a pin in hair etc.
The navy silketop🤩🦋
I agree with all of the points you made in the video! The disco print is actually called "Pucci print" after the original designer Emilio Pucci 😊
😂😂 nearly spit my water out when you said cargo pants , like you are going camping and have everything in your pockets 😂😂 you are hilarious I swear!
LOL glad you liked that! 🤣🤣
Love metallic during the day

That is soooo exactly my thoughts with those bags! 🤣🤣
If the logo on the YSL bag is small, I don’t know what is big..😂
Grover has good taste and so does his Mama. :) Really enjoyed this, Anna! Shannon A.
I love both loud colors and tone down colors. The TRUTH is the more older I get the more loud in colors I want to have on me 😃😃😃
The ladies in The Devil Wears Prada wore metallics by day in a very classy way
They also worked in NYC at a fashion mag! A little different from small town USA 😄
I was given a beautiful Chanel bag that had the smallest black logo on the smooth black leather. I love that it’s not a super loud quilted bag and fairly unnoticeable. These days I feel much safer carrying it and love that it doesn’t SCREAM look at me. 😉

Navy is an awesome color for you! It has always been one of my favourites and now I see why as we have the same hair and skin coloring. ❤
Love what you’re wearing! The color and style of that top is very flattering on you
Oooh your hair is gorgeous really softens your face 😍
You showed me how denim on denim can work. Didn't see that coming!
I started a new job today, came home feeling stressed then I see a new video from Anna…yay a fun video to watch😊!
Oh yeah! Denim maxi skirts. So classy. I love them. I also enjoy denim on denim looks.
Same! ❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you. Also, you look especially beautiful in this video.
Your disco print in my day was called Emilio Pucci and is emminently classy.
You have a great opinions and insight Anna; stop apologizing for them!

I love this top on you Anna !
Sometimes I think the word trashy could be exchanged for the word trendy when it comes to fashion!
I just prefer to dress cute, or nice, or classy.
That first denim on denim photo with the jeweled sandals is fire.

Have a friend, who has a beautiful silver bob. Wears only black, white with one accent of red, blue or yellow and sometimes green. She always looks striking, classy at the same time and her own unique person. Wish I could pull that off.
‘We’re going camping and I have everything I need in my cargo pockets’ I’m dying 😂😂😂
My mother used to say that pockets are for decoration, the moment you start using them to put things in them they look trashy and it's true
🤣🤣🤣
Love this video. Denim on denim is just something I can't seem to get behind. Some people can pull it off. I am not one of those people. 😁
Hi Anna! I'll just respond to the disco prints. I agree they are iffy. To the rest, I pretty much agree.
WONDERFUL video‼️My advice...I'm old... EVERYTHING IN MODERATION ‼️A little of any of this is great on the right body. I have NEVER understood the dislike of denim on denim. I love it‼️Love you‼️
Brittney Spears & Justin Timberlake ruined DoD for many.
Love this advice, Barbara! ❤️❤️❤️
Ha!! Aw that outfit duo is burned in my brain as well 🤣🤣
Oh, honey hush! Ain’t nothing wrong with denim on denim!! As a child who came of age in the seventies, I’ve done denim on denim for a long time!!! A lot of us ‘old folks’ have and we don’t care if it’s trendy or not! Nice straight leg jeans, a tank or cami and a big denim shirt--you can’t go wrong-well, unless you’re going to a dress-up affair. Keep it up; you’re a breath of fresh air!!!!! Disco print? Perhaps, maybe, I’ll see something when I’m shopping that I actually like, example-the last few things you showed, especially the blue cutouts or the or the next one, but I’d have never thought of that before right now as a disco print. SO, answering your question, I suppose it could be classy and elegant IF paired with the right accessories and for the right event.
Disco Prints....in the 60s and 70s it was known as Mod
Valentino did a lot of disco prints. In pretty summertime colours in fine jersey they look good.
Your hair looks so good!!
I don’t really like metallic clothing for day wear but I did buy a pair of Paul Green metallic sneakers. Wondering if I am brave enough to wear them.
Wear the sneakers! Fashion is fun. And truly, most people are so focused on what THEY are wearing anyway, you will likely just get a passing glance. 😂
Yes! I'm with you on everything except denim maxi skirts. Chambray and flowy? Yes. But stiff denim? No.
And yeah, I have succumbed to the Canadian tuxedo in so many combos and permutations. I am loving it.
BTW: I think ripped-out knees on jeans are soooooooo over.
I used to think the same about a maxi denim skirt until I tried one, the thick denim has kept me warm all winter and when I get tired I can always shorten the skirt
Ripped jeans really shouldn’t have ever been in. To me it’s trashy. We all know they don’t get there by hard work but because they bought it that way. 🤦🏻♀️
@@shelbysittig1047 I had ripped jeans in the 60s. They got that way and they were cool.
@@antoniaz my ripped jeans in the 80s were courtesy of a chemistry Prac when I accidentally spilt hydrochloride acid on my jeans!
@@lesleyc2704 I hope you weren't in them at the time!
Some of the disco prints look like Emilio Pucci.
Love your makeup and hair shade!
Classics and timeless dressing are what I feel most comfortable wearing. However, I do have SOME more suddle pieces listed in the trendy portion. As you said, they aren't bad, just not typically a classic timeless look.
To keep MY wardrobe current, adding a trendy piece does keep me interested in MY own closet. I need nothing. What I want is different. I want to be classy, but I need to be current or I over shop chasing the "today" look. Hopefully, that makes sense. 😊😊😊
I think a lot of the over the top items or trends only ever could have flourished online as influencer outfits, or a runway concept that’s never going to translate well to most people irl. I think sometimes in the US we are also very “hey you do you” and thus people feel like they CAN just wear whatever they like, which…yes they can, but if they expect others to think they look classy or good? Not necessarily.
I feel we're on the 'same page' - great tips
The printed dresses at the end of the video can be classy, depending who wears them and how they are worn. They really remind me of Pucci designs that were worn by very fabulous ladies. I would say classy enough …
Love your beautiful blouse. Its now sold out. 😢 I'm definitely not in your age bracket but love your style and ideas. I'm 74.
Great video, but I haven’t heard anyone say “classy” in awhile; it actually is used in jest for something that is decidedly NOT “classy”. And instead of “quiet luxury”-which I like-I think the term you mean is “stealth wealth”; it’s everywhere. Just an FYI to us from my two college kids. 🙂❤
Love your videos. Thank you
Transparent or naked dresses are not classy and elegant… they are fun, but showing your underwear is neither classy or elegant. Have fun with it, absolutely 😂
Agreed! ❤️❤️❤️
Love denim on denim
Anna, you look beautiful today.
I love the glamor of metalics! Just dress it down.😊
Great video! I bought a silver pleated maxi skirt. The only thing that looked good with it was silver pointy toe booties. So after struggling with a top or sweater I gave up as it was a one look. If I can’t wear something several ways it’s a struggle for me. So I gave them to a friend who can pull everything off as she is young and gorgeous! Intend to dress more the Row looks with an edgy twist. Hugs xoxo
Well done. The elegants were spot on and the others might be fun be maybe not elegant. Fun.
Not sure but I think I was the first person in rural Texas to get a pair of metallic pants. Lol
White denim skirt. White. Classier!
Metallic during the day? Yes! One item, dressed down, tho...so I wouldn't do gold with the white pants, but would do it with blue jeans, and a Birkenstock, or similar. But yes! Why not? Definitely a window on this trend, but always great for evening.
A lot of what you're saying is spot on. Classy women pick wisely from trends according to their style. In the 70s, I wore a black, midi lenght wrap dress. Danskin type. I thought I was all that! What a memory.
❤Love your hair style in this video
Very helpful for putting together Spring outfits that rock…! Thanks ❤
Glad you liked it! ❤️
I love how you found plus size models to exhibit the styles
Great video; thanks.
Fun vid !!! Thank you!🥰🙏🏽💃🏼
Luv your blouse today, and your lashes & hair…good job! The style tips are so informative… you go girl 💙 no metallic in the DAY..okay 👌wow to those clunky 👡’s …dangerous… & your flower 3d shoes are great. I kinda like some of the Retro print…😊
I love the silk blouse you have on… that is definitely classy🎉
Great video Anna Reid ! People who overdue it with a ton of jewelry, 💎 belts, hats 👒 and scarves , ALL at the same time..that’s not too classy BUT to each their own and they are fun to look at lol ❤
Haha greed! 🤣❤️
Love love love!
How about wearing what you like and not caring what other people think? Some of us can't afford designer stuff (logo'ed or not), and we want to be ourselves.
Denim on denim can look remedial and mismatched. I’d suggest wearing matching texture and tone or two piece outfits for wearing denim on denim.
I like brightening up a neutral colour outfit with a sequin scarf during the day, I guess a metallic accessory or other small item would also work during the day, or a metallic that is not too shiny
Agreed with all!
❤️❤️❤️
You are almost 100k subs!!!!!!! Anna Fighting!
Thank you! 🙌🙌🙌
Hii, I think there is a difference between a classic look, to saying something is classy. When I hear the word classy, for some reason it brings to mind social class, which I don’t think applies. You can wear things that are “classic” or timeless, without bringing in the concept of social class. Just my opinion 😊
I agree. I don’t like the word classy. It originates with the word class, which refers to social strata and money. If you say someone is classy as a compliment, you don’t mean lower-classy. You are saying upper-classy (aka monied). I know I may ruffle a few feathers by saying this, but there is a very Euro-centric bias in that word. Styles often looked at s trashy or tacky are sometimes the ones embraced by women of color, no matter how rich some of them might be. That isn’t meant to trash Anna’s style. If I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t watch this channel. I just hope our society opens up enough to embrace all unique looks without judgment.
I think a lot of women want to dress a certain way, and the word most commonly used is “classy” 😄❤️
@@ZForce5496 Classic western fashion IS Euro-centric. Because it started in Europe. Geez.
No matter what word she used, someone would get on their high horse and be offended. I see it all the time.
@@edennis8578 the word wasn’t classic, which, refers to something timeless but “classy” which refers to socioeconomic status. Don’t get your panties in a wad over semantics.
I love the fact that you give so many great advices and share your opinion with us rather the just saying ,, this looks classy don't wear that that is not how you want to look" and from this video I understood your style which is cool in my opinion definitely subscribing
That gold YSL logo on the black was FAR from tiny !! 😂😂😂😂😂
Love denim on denim..very classy, if proportion s are right..long skirts..yes👍
Fun video Anna, and just wanted to say your hair & makeup look especially nice in this video! Not saying they don't always, but today is extra good 😊
I think you nailed it Anna!!
When I think denim on denim....I can't help but remember Justin Timberlake and Britney spears in their matching denim on denim outfits to the 2001 ama awards.....😂😂😂😂😂😂
