Thank you for watching! ❤️ Which elegant summer fashion tip was your favourite? To learn more about elegant style mistakes watch my next video 10 Things Elegant Ladies NEVER Wear In Summer: ua-cam.com/video/HRJgvWqbKfU/v-deo.html
Thank you for another great video Anna! I bought a boatneck top a couple of weeks ago so of course your first tip was my favourite 😉! I wonder if you have any suggestions for sandals for women who choose not to show their toes? I have been searching online all morning today and eventually gave up because I could not find much that was not a full shoe or high-heel wedge - I try to avoid wedge shoes because they feel so heavy and clunky on my feet. Grateful for any tips on that. Thank you 🥰
Dark denim, blazers, silk camis and button downs, cashmere for winter, casual slacks and Briton stripe boatnecks... And no sneakers outside of the gym!
Anna is actually one of the funniest female influencers, and not because she is doing ridiculous things. She uses our human flaws to perpetuate change in a way that has us laughing at ourselves instead of disliking ourselves. It’s heartwarming! So when I say she is funny, I mean she utilizes the human experiences, which is hilariously imperfect, to perpetuate change. Anna says all the time how she had to learn a lot of what she is teaching, and had plenty of embarrassing moments herself. You know you’ve made it when you’re able to look back on those moments and laugh at yourself ❤️
I swear, Anna doesn’t get enough credit for her wit and humour! I don’t understand why there’s an idea that elegant ladies are boring or stiff. Anna is a queen 🥰
I would love to see a revived interest in feminine clothing and in elegance in general. I'm an older woman, and I missed out on so many years of confidence and having a better body image because I had notions that such clothing was always expensive, and that much of the etiquette was stiff and uncomfortable and 'just not me'. I know it isn't for everyone, but I got that boost in confidence and happiness as soon as I started making changes a few years ago. And Anna's advice really helps!
Im learning to sew my own garments. Tailors are expensive and well, I want to add only garments I want to wear into my wardrobe. It's a journey and I'm really enjoying it 😊
Good job girl! I'm in the same boat. :) I don't want to add to the slave labor but still look classy. Wanna share what you've made so far? I'd love to hear!
@@bpom527 couple of pants and tanktops for my son. They are not classy but cute as buttons. A couple of dresses (the second definitely better than the first) and a skirt. I've learned a lot from each thing I made.
@@cellinelisehenriksen3337 That's wonderful! I bet his clothes were adorable! Have you checked out the European children's styles? (I think it's European... lol) They are adorable! And so classy looking. Which is so cute to think of classy little tots. lol Did your skirt have a zipper in it? I think Ive only put in one zipper and should practice. lol
She explained it in one of her podcasts. Since she extended her team, she has more time to actually do what she wants to with videos as she has more time and less worries. 🙂
I'm still in love with the fact that you preach sustainable fashion. Not from the point of view of saving the planet, but from the point of view of using natural fibers because they look and feel better. And from the point of view of purchasing your wardrobe is an investment that will last you a lifetime. My mom has a cotton shirt that is older than I am and it still looks fantastic because of the quality of the cotton and the construction of the garment. If you don't have to repurchase your plastic shirts every year then in the end you are saving so much more money.
Unfortunately ZARA and Pretty Little Thing, which she mentions is far from sustainable. Hoping she'll be making a 'Empowering other women through our purchases' video!
I am a muslim hijabi women but I follow anna and her suggestions,I apply her opinions on my dressing and my dressing with hijab has improved a lot because of u anna,thanks a lot for ur efforts.
I have children. I’d love to see tips on looking elegant taking them to all their sporting events at dirty soccer fields and dusty baseball diamonds in the summer heat. Thanks for sharing Anna. Love your advice!🥰
Yes! I was just outdoors with my 1 yearold today. My dress was a tiny but short but in my opinion in still appropriate. Still I had to be careful about bending over to pick her up. Elegant mom style would be SO appreciated!
@@miramaxima1982 I agree! It wasn't the shortest dress out there but still something I was mindful of. It was an improvement from my usual dress but I wouldn't do it again. Taking it one step at a time!
Yesss !! Elegant mom style would be great. Something for those that are pressed for time and things that are practical (and machine washable) as well as looking classy
I think a nice long denim shirt with a tucked up button up shirt like she’s wearing here would look lovely. You could match the color to your kids’ sports teams as well.
Thanks to Anna's videos I have been making a bigger effort with my clothing. Just wanted to share a win today with people who will understand. I attended an outdoor event today and I felt so confident in my appearance! My dress was an appropriate casual summer dress and I wore wedges and used a sling over shoulder handbag. It was perfect! There were a few others dressed well there but most were very casual denim and t-shirts. I was dressed nicely but not over the top for this event. I'm so proud of myself! Thank you for all the advice, Anna! I can honestly say that >almost< all eyes were on me because of you. It's the first I've ever felt so fantastic before. Thank you!
I went home to my humid warm country one summer for a funeral -- forgot & took a lined linen outfit & a silk one. Naturally I didn't realize the sauna sweat fest I was in for until almost time to go. Needless to say, I had to borrow an outfit or two--(shops weren't open, no time). Lol
Pro Tip: a lot of stores now carry clothes in a Linen/Rayon blend. It looks and wears like linen, but it's 1) less expensive, and 2) doesn't hold wrinkles as easily.
I grew up in Italy, i learn at a young age to love linen for summer! Thank you, Please share new outfits ideas for long haul, people are getting back to travel.
I would love it if you could create a video about how older women can still look elegant during the warm times of the year. Some older women, such as myself, no longer want to show our arms when they are no longer firm, even if the weather is warm. How can we leave our arms covered and still remain cool and stylish?
Yes! Even though I'm 5'2" with an inverted triangle (large natural breasts; small frame) the boat neck looks great on me I just don't do shorter sleeves with the boat neck.
I don’t like short sleeves either but other than losing the arm fat, not sure what else can be done. Maybe a 3/4 or 1/2 sleeve with some flutter to it?
3/4 sleeves are great. You can get them tight fitted or loose. I am young, but those sleeveless tops look horrible on me (body shape). I need at least a small over the shoulder sleeve. Wonder if you could get sleeves with slits? Some could look still affluent and elegant. Just hard to find the right ones. Simple is better.
As a inverted triangle, I always benefit from boat and sweetheart necklines. I get lots of compliments on my neck. Every single time. Don’t be afraid of showing those bones. Use different colors and patterns on the bottom to balance things and show off your most femenine side :)
@@edennis8578 It's because these shapes highlight the largest part of our bodies. But one can wear more relaxed and flowy bottoms; wide legged trousers, flowy skirts, A-line skirts...etc. Something that balances the look. Wearing the mentioned neckline shapes with skinny jeans for example is not very flattering on our body shapes^^
@@zinab2blessa I disagree. I think it's a gorgeous look. I always avoided that look until I learned to play with the rules and lines of my own body. Now I love it.
I'm an inverted triangle too. boat necks look great on me but the trick is to wear it with a patterned layered skirt or an A-line wrap patterned skirt. I tie the wrap skirt to the side too, so my hips look wider dn my shoulders. It's stunning and I always get compliments.
Tip: if a slow-spin or delicate wash cycle is used, linen won’t wrinkle as much. Take it out of the wash right away, it will be dripping, then give it some hand-shaping and hang-dry or toss it in a medium-setting dryer. I still iron it all, but this does make it easier.
I'm an inverted triangle and I find boat necks look really good on me. Especially darker colors conceal the tip of the shoulders, making them appear smaller.
Years ago when I was just starting in my career I didn't have the means to buy the well made, perfectly cut kind of clothes you suggest. Then I found a great book on dressing well on a tight budget by using the resources offered by second hand shops. The quality, cut and simple elegance you advocate for is to be found sometimes in the resale shops for a fraction of the price. Perhaps a video on how to direct our economic means wisely when we are just starting could be very interesting for many of the ladies who watch you. Thank you Anna!
It's so nice to see the block heel sandal . It makes walking on lawns Much easier . Wedding season but a lot of them are outdoors so it's nice that these pretty shoes will work. Tiptoeing around on lawns because you're afraid you're gonna sink isn't the most elegant gate
Yes! You are showing your true personality in your videos! I couldn’t identify with your videos a few years ago. You’ve really come into your own, great work!
I can't believe that I finally check all the boxes with Anna lol. I have been upgrading my closet for the past years just following my own style and my fashion instinct and I kinda nailed it? I feel so proud of myself lmao.
Anna could you give tips on elegant jewelry? I feel like we have shoes, nails, bags and clothes covered but I'd like to see affordable jewelry in the elegant category.
I don’t like showing my arms and I stay covered from the sun even though I wear sunscreen. Any recommendations for styles with long or mid length sleeves during summer?
Long sleeved shirts, blouses and turtlenecks made of cotton, silk or linen with a shorter pant or skirt is my go to (I also don't like showing my arms) Try to avoid colours that will show sweat stains (e. g. grey) or make a small patch test with water to see how much it shows. You can also get sleeveless midi dresses and put a thin button up shirt like a jacket over it to cover your arms
I personally love bishop sleeves, I think they look very sophisticated. They're quite common with wrap dresses I've found, another classy summer style. Otherwise I find fitted 3/4 length sleeves (or full length sleeves folded back to the elbow) to be flattering. But with more coverage, natural fibres (especially linen) is a must for me in summer.
I will forever appreciate you Anna. You've helped my family a lot,since the pandemic till now your advices and lessons are inspirational and helpful to us. My husband and I have been able to be minimal, conscious in spending,saving and lnve,sting wisely. We have able to earn on a weekly basis and it helps the family a lot. You're such a blessing to this generation. We all love♥️😊. I'm so happy to join you today too
Since my colleague introduced me to this channel, I've never missed a content and I'm happy and I'm proud of myself because I've learnt and taught my kids a lot. I'm happy for you dear keep it up👍
I'm very happy for you dear keep it up,we all know this channel help people a lot and gives us positive decision. They have helped me too but I will be glad to learn from you
@Russell Matthews I can share some that helped me 1. Plan towards it 2. Be frugal an minimal on spending (Don't buy what you don't need) 3. Save money wisely towards retirement 4. Save to (lnvest),it's a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success
Look Russell, There's a lot of lnvesting options. But my best advice is get the services of a professional who will lead you into a Great and profitable one.
Thank you for letting me know boatnecks are not for inverted triangles. I feel that many people who give fashion advice don’t consider how the pieces look for certain body types.
I’m so grateful to you Anna. Things I used to wear trying to look classy, was the exact opposite. Since following you and taking your advice, I’ve definitely attracted a better grade of people. The confidence I’ve had elevating my look is so rewarding. It truly is amazing how people treat you when you’re well put together. Huge difference. Thank for all your advice. 😊
I try to follow your tips even tho I wear a Hijab so i originally dont show much skin or hair but I do my best to keep it elegant and I have to say I love your videos and you are an inspiration anna
Hijab styles are elegant by default to me! I see so many beautiful hijabis in my city, in long flowing cream and beige clothes and beautiful fabrics, they look like royalty to me 💫
Literally one of the best dressed colleagues I ever met was covered hair to ankles. But she did have a lot of pieces which she knew how to style in a sublime way.
Ana, you could talk about anything - I would watch! Listening to your content is like a therapy - your self esteem, sense of humor and sincerity is really inspiring to be at least a little bit more elegant, more feminine. Live better and become better. I was never interested in elegance, etiquette, fashion or afluent life style. I could call myself an artsy villager :D , who doesn't care about outfits that much. But with your content I discovered the importance of it all and feel so much better about myself than before! So, thank you! Very very much :).
Agree 100% with the fabrics. My skin HATES polyester. Switching to more natural materials was one of the best things I have done for my very sensitive skin
Anna, you have improved so much! Your videos have valuable content but at the same time are so funny. I love to see more of your humor and personality. You are edutaining us! Love it!
Your first example is not a Boatneck shoulder Iine. A traditional boatneck is not off the shoulder. It is Iike a straight piece of material that goes straight from shoulder to shoulder front and back covering the coIIar bones. It's Iike a sIit for the head.
Dear Anna, you have helped me a ton with your wonderful fashion advice! I am here since the channel launched and I now have a solid classic wardrobe with pieces that can be matched with each other, I now know my style, I know my colors and I know what I like and what suits me. I will be forever grateful for these videos. Much love from Hungary 💙
Anna, I truly love your videos and I love the little community you created here! Everyone is so supportive in the comment section. It makes me so happy! ❤
Anna's presence has improved so much! You look so much more comfortable and your personality is coming through! Maybe you could even act in the future! All my love 💓
It isn't always, it depends on the natural resting angle of your foot. You can Google it. Some people actually do better in a mid or low heel than flats
I love this video! Not only because of the great content you put out but you seem so energetic and naturally funny. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and entertainment. Feels like I’m talking to a friend. 💕✨
It's always a delight to watch the channel and learn from Anna Bey. So much good advice on this channel. I tried the linen tops she suggested and as she said, I feel and look elegant and cool. Anna Bey is a phenomenal teacher!
Hello Anna, Ladies (I noticed some men in the comments, too). I am new to this channel, and love it. I considered myself classy casual. Your channel helps me to see where i can take things higher, not just in wardrobe, in character, as well. The comments also call things to attention where improvement is needed. I appreciate you, Anna, and those who offer their feedback in the comment section.
I love linen, and have lots of garments made in it because we have very long, hot summers where I live. Yes, it wrinkles easily, a blend of linen and viscose might be better for those who refuse to iron, but I find ironing rather relaxing, the trick is to do it when it’s cool, have a fan, and dress lightly. I give my linens my best ironing, then just relax and enjoy wearing them!
I am an inverted triangle and I have one boat neck blouse that I wear and I actually love it because it is a peplum blouse! The volume below actually gives balance to the silhouette 😊
Amazing video as always Anna! I'll be going to university in September and I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on elegant outfits suitable for studying and campus life in general. Keep up the great work 💖
It's gonna be over 115° F in AZ this week... so this is ultra timely while transitioning wardrobes. I'm gonna envision Anna would give the same tips as of vacationing in Dubai.
Can you do a video on how to distinguish between cheap polyester, and decent polyester? I feel like I always have trouble figuring out what makes one piece of polyester clothing better than another.
Anna! You teach us how to look expensive... How about how to smell expensive? 👃💙💚💙💚 I would like to know about your favorite perfumes and tips smell clean and fresh all the time. Hugs, Anna!
I love your videos Anna, you have helped me on so many ways. I came from a family of brothers and my mother was not around when O was a younger. On the past 2 years I've learnt so much from you, in terms of etiquette, style and mental wellbeing. I'm very grateful for your help and I was never taught these things when I was younger
I agree. Linen requires a lot of upkeep. It’s just too much since I live in south Florida where you can’t just stock up on linen, as it’s VERY expensive because ideally you’d have to wear different pieces every single day because of the extreme humidity and heat. My budget doesn’t allow such a pricey wardrobe, nor do most people where I live. Sadly everyone here takes the easy and quick way out because it’s just easier. Floridians dress in gym clothes almost all year.😝
I love summer day events and early evening events! Attending events during that time scheduele makes me feel so free and relaxed and stresless, idk why:))
Firstly, I would like to say sorry for my English but I am from Poland so I am not native:) Few days ago I found your channel and I just fell in love. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am 19 years old and I always had more sophisticaded taste than my friends. I don't like the 90's clothes, other stylies which are fancy curentlly. So your channel is perfect for me and I can't wait your new films. I suscribed and I wait for more. And in one of your video I heard that women should pay attention to her development and education. So now I am motivated to improve my English and your films really help me in that. Greetings from Poland and all the jest for you all.
I just discovered your channel, and I am loving your tips! I am 50 years old-and agree 100% with the current young ladies growing up not really knowing how to dress "elegantly" and appropriately for young ladies. I am learning many things for myself as well-and I love your sense of humor!
Being pregnant and not buying any new clothes that isn’t for the bump has made me really step back to look at my wardrobe and reconsider a lot of items that I have. Basically did a purge. Also, will be even more mindful for future purchases post-baby.
Great video as always! Following up on your point about chiffon, a lot of professional ballroom dancer gowns have switched from silk chiffon to polyester chiffon bc it wrinkles less, moves a little nicer on the dance floor, is easier to clean, and of course more cost effective. Of course it doesn't feel as soft and luxurious against the body as classic silk chiffon will feel
Oh my goodness woah! How cool! I had just seen your interview with The Roommates a while back, and I wanted to say thank you for representing the hidden women in society that actually want and love men. I liked how you empathized with men’s perspective, but also gave a refreshing reality check, in the sense that not all women utilize the “hot girl summer,” mindset.
Hi Anna. Great tips. I really like the dress you're wearing. It looks like seer sucker. I love that fabric for staying cool in the summer and it looks and feels so summery. Love those shoes also.
When linen was (re)introduced 30 years ago, every linen item in every shop had a label on it saying, linen knittert edel, meaning linen creases in an elegant way. True - as Anna knows
Thank you so much Anna... Your tips have totally transformed me... I introduced my sister to your tips and she too has been impacted... Please continue transforming us... Kindly asking if you may speak about elegant jewelry too..

"Elegance during college years" is a much needed topic to discuss. I'd appreciate a video on that topic dear Anna. Thank you for your efforts
Yes! I’m starting college this year and I’d love to get ideas about classy clothes that also won’t be too revealing haha. :)
I like the ‘light academia’ look for college :) It’s also economical to buy these pieces that can be worn after college too!
I second this!!! I’m transferring to university this fall!!
Honestly, I think you should allow yourself to go through a not-so-elegant phase. Even Anna did.
Dark denim, blazers, silk camis and button downs, cashmere for winter, casual slacks and Briton stripe boatnecks... And no sneakers outside of the gym!

Right??? Her bubbly personality is catching for sure 😍😍😍
I've been thinking that. I thought you couldn't have a playful personality if you're elegant but she's surprised me.
She's just the only one
I like that she wasn’t born into it. If she digs deep, I’m sure she can find and utilize her “shadow” self when necessary. ^^ a true underdog!

I only buy natural fabrics for summer... Cotton, linen, silk. There's nothing worse than sweating in polyester, rayon, Lycra, etc.

The quality, cut and simple elegance you advocate for is to be found sometimes in the resale shops for a fraction of the price. Perhaps a video on how to direct our economic means wisely when we are just starting could be very interesting for many of the ladies who watch you. Thank you Anna!
I agree. I dress well for less myself by hunting in charity shops and Ebay 😁
It's so nice to see the block heel sandal . It makes walking on lawns Much easier . Wedding season but a lot of them are outdoors so it's nice that these pretty shoes will work. Tiptoeing around on lawns because you're afraid you're gonna sink isn't the most elegant gate
Yes! You are showing your true personality in your videos! I couldn’t identify with your videos a few years ago. You’ve really come into your own, great work!
I can't believe that I finally check all the boxes with Anna lol. I have been upgrading my closet for the past years just following my own style and my fashion instinct and I kinda nailed it? I feel so proud of myself lmao.
I’m the complete opposite. I’m lazy in the winter when it comes to dressing. The winter depresses me
Me too. Just make me warm!
Same! I can hardly feel alive in the winter .. in the summer I’m a completely different person.
Same
Same :) Love summer dresses and I get lazy and winter and all the dark colours :/
Same! I out a lot more attention into my outfits during the summer.
I think with linen, why it's okay for it to be wrinkles, it's because it's expected to wrinkle💯
Anna could you give tips on elegant jewelry? I feel like we have shoes, nails, bags and clothes covered but I'd like to see affordable jewelry in the elegant category.
I just saw a plastic necklace in a store with nicer clothes. I could not understand what that necklace was doing there.
I don’t like showing my arms and I stay covered from the sun even though I wear sunscreen. Any recommendations for styles with long or mid length sleeves during summer?
Long sleeved shirts, blouses and turtlenecks made of cotton, silk or linen with a shorter pant or skirt is my go to (I also don't like showing my arms)
Try to avoid colours that will show sweat stains (e. g. grey) or make a small patch test with water to see how much it shows.
You can also get sleeveless midi dresses and put a thin button up shirt like a jacket over it to cover your arms
I personally love bishop sleeves, I think they look very sophisticated. They're quite common with wrap dresses I've found, another classy summer style. Otherwise I find fitted 3/4 length sleeves (or full length sleeves folded back to the elbow) to be flattering. But with more coverage, natural fibres (especially linen) is a must for me in summer.
Sheer or lacy sleeves let your skin breathe
I am the same way. I love lightweight 100% linen long sleeves, and lightweight 100% cotton long sleeves :)
@@kthy31 thank you for the advice
I will forever appreciate you Anna. You've helped my family a lot,since the pandemic till now your advices and lessons are inspirational and helpful to us.
My husband and I have been able to be minimal, conscious in spending,saving and lnve,sting wisely. We have able to earn on a weekly basis and it helps the family a lot. You're such a blessing to this generation. We all love♥️😊. I'm so happy to join you today too
She is more than a blessing to us. She has changed a lot of families and teenagers for good. We all love you ♥️
Since my colleague introduced me to this channel, I've never missed a content and I'm happy and I'm proud of myself because I've learnt and taught my kids a lot. I'm happy for you dear keep it up👍
I'm very happy for you dear keep it up,we all know this channel help people a lot and gives us positive decision. They have helped me too but I will be glad to learn from you
@Russell Matthews I can share some that helped me
1. Plan towards it
2. Be frugal an minimal on spending
(Don't buy what you don't need)
3. Save money wisely towards retirement
4. Save to (lnvest),it's a proven way to get richer.
Very important to financial success
Look Russell, There's a lot of lnvesting options. But my best advice is get the services of a professional who will lead you into a Great and profitable one.
Thank you for letting me know boatnecks are not for inverted triangles. I feel that many people who give fashion advice don’t consider how the pieces look for certain body types.
“These little darlings on your little darlings” 🤣♥️ I love Anna’s humor. Still elegant !
I’m so grateful to you Anna. Things I used to wear trying to look classy, was the exact opposite. Since following you and taking your advice, I’ve definitely attracted a better grade of people. The confidence I’ve had elevating my look is so rewarding. It truly is amazing how people treat you when you’re well put together. Huge difference. Thank for all your advice. 😊
I love Anna’s energy and her way of making this fun to learn. I also enjoy her feminine sense of humor.
I try to follow your tips even tho I wear a Hijab so i originally dont show much skin or hair but I do my best to keep it elegant and I have to say I love your videos and you are an inspiration anna
Hijab styles are elegant by default to me! I see so many beautiful hijabis in my city, in long flowing cream and beige clothes and beautiful fabrics, they look like royalty to me 💫
Literally one of the best dressed colleagues I ever met was covered hair to ankles. But she did have a lot of pieces which she knew how to style in a sublime way.
Same
@@kthy31 that is very nice of you to say , thank you ❤
@@etrebelle9812 that is our struggle , too many pieces to style together but thank you for saying that ❤
When she said number 7 and the last one, my heart broke :( She has such good advice so wish it was longer.
Linen is such a great material indeed!
@Merel Van Poucke- I agree about linen. Sometimes though the shirts look “boxy” on me because it’s a bit stiff.
Elegance at home would be a great topic. And Elegant life hacks.
Agree!
She already did a video about it, check it out!
Check her Instagram!!
You talk like the elegant best friend, make us guilty If we are lazy and inspire us that's why I love you so much ❤️
Like she told the angel on your shoulder it was tacky and took it's place.
Ana, you could talk about anything - I would watch! Listening to your content is like a therapy - your self esteem, sense of humor and sincerity is really inspiring to be at least a little bit more elegant, more feminine. Live better and become better. I was never interested in elegance, etiquette, fashion or afluent life style. I could call myself an artsy villager :D , who doesn't care about outfits that much. But with your content I discovered the importance of it all and feel so much better about myself than before! So, thank you! Very very much :).
"Artsy Villager" lol love it
Would you consider making a fashion advice video for women who have a large bust but want to dress elegantly? 💕
Agree 100% with the fabrics. My skin HATES polyester. Switching to more natural materials was one of the best things I have done for my very sensitive skin
As soon as she said an affluent fabric I knew she was going to say linen! Love linen.
Anna, you have improved so much! Your videos have valuable content but at the same time are so funny. I love to see more of your humor and personality. You are edutaining us! Love it!
Your first example is not a Boatneck shoulder Iine. A traditional boatneck is not off the shoulder. It is Iike a straight piece of material that goes straight from shoulder to shoulder front and back covering the coIIar bones. It's Iike a sIit for the head.
Dear Anna, you have helped me a ton with your wonderful fashion advice! I am here since the channel launched and I now have a solid classic wardrobe with pieces that can be matched with each other, I now know my style, I know my colors and I know what I like and what suits me. I will be forever grateful for these videos. Much love from Hungary 💙
Anna, I truly love your videos and I love the little community you created here! Everyone is so supportive in the comment section. It makes me so happy! ❤
Anna's presence has improved so much! You look so much more comfortable and your personality is coming through! Maybe you could even act in the future! All my love 💓
about heels: what do you do with the fact that its bad for your health , especially back on the long term?
It isn't always, it depends on the natural resting angle of your foot. You can Google it. Some people actually do better in a mid or low heel than flats
You can try a company like Chie Mihara, I heard that she made orthopedic shoes before designing regular ones!
Actually, my back hurts when I wear flats whereas I feel fine in heels. Different strokes for different folks!
Love how much more fun you’re having! Your delivery is wonderful - there’s no way anyone could offended in your delivery. Fantastic job ❤️
I love this video! Not only because of the great content you put out but you seem so energetic and naturally funny. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and entertainment. Feels like I’m talking to a friend. 💕✨
It's always a delight to watch the channel and learn from Anna Bey. So much good advice on this channel. I tried the linen tops she suggested and as she said, I feel and look elegant and cool. Anna Bey is a phenomenal teacher!
Hello Anna, Ladies (I noticed some men in the comments, too). I am new to this channel, and love it. I considered myself classy casual. Your channel helps me to see where i can take things higher, not just in wardrobe, in character, as well. The comments also call things to attention where improvement is needed. I appreciate you, Anna, and those who offer their feedback in the comment section.
Rise your hand if you want a video about summer hairstyles 👋
We love you Anna
I love linen, and have lots of garments made in it because we have very long, hot summers where I live. Yes, it wrinkles easily, a blend of linen and viscose might be better for those who refuse to iron, but I find ironing rather relaxing, the trick is to do it when it’s cool, have a fan, and dress lightly. I give my linens my best ironing, then just relax and enjoy wearing them!
Currently "elevating my wardrobe", getting ready to donate a bunch of old shoes and clothes. Wish me luck ladies!!🥰
Me too! I probably will have nothing left!
Good luck (2 years later🤭) I hope you enjoy your new wardrobe
I am an inverted triangle and I have one boat neck blouse that I wear and I actually love it because it is a peplum blouse! The volume below actually gives balance to the silhouette 😊
Plus they show our sexy thorax lol
Amazing video as always Anna! I'll be going to university in September and I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on elegant outfits suitable for studying and campus life in general. Keep up the great work 💖
This lady is fantastic. The young mother that ive lost
Actually she looks so radiant and happy, that I wouldn't be surprised at all, if a small Anna (or Annas) would be on it's way. . . 🎁😍
It's gonna be over 115° F in AZ this week... so this is ultra timely while transitioning wardrobes.
I'm gonna envision Anna would give the same tips as of vacationing in Dubai.
You are my number idol Anna 💗 love your contents, am a happy woman cause of you....
@Ryan Cooper Yeah she will love it, you need cash to make your lady look elegant 😌👌
@@rebeccacasey9419 I want nothing but the best for my beautiful wife , and my salary can't make that happen. Sad 😭
@@williamjoshua6315 make re-search and you will see that B••T••C is the future, try it out with your wife.
@Ryan Cooper I don't mentor people on stuff like this, but I can assist you with my acct manager *Helen* *Allison* she handles my portfolio.
Yes!!!
You can reach her site handle.
This video just showed up while I am thinking about what to get when I am on a budget. Thank you so much
Can you do a video on how to distinguish between cheap polyester, and decent polyester? I feel like I always have trouble figuring out what makes one piece of polyester clothing better than another.
Yes please. I need this too!
Just avoid it altogether if you can. No matter the quality, at the end of the day it’s just a piece of plastic.
Can you make a tutorial about how to style coats and other formals like tie or how to make sure that the pumps are clean
I just purchased 4 linen blouses from Banana Republic Factory. Originally $64 and I purchased for $25 each. I’m
So happy with my purchase!!!!
Linen is at a very decent price in Italy intresting even in touristy areas 💛 linen is an amazing choice for the summer👌
Anna you look absolutely stunning. I've followed you for a few years now and its been amazing to see your personal transformation both inside and out.
Anna! You teach us how to look expensive... How about how to smell expensive? 👃💙💚💙💚 I would like to know about your favorite perfumes and tips smell clean and fresh all the time. Hugs, Anna!
Oh, that's sounds really interesting!!! I love perfumes and I would like to see what her suggestions will be!!!
Hermes Voyage I would recommend.
Love this suggestion
Jo Malone 🥰
Excellent suggestion!
I love your videos Anna, you have helped me on so many ways. I came from a family of brothers and my mother was not around when O was a younger. On the past 2 years I've learnt so much from you, in terms of etiquette, style and mental wellbeing. I'm very grateful for your help and I was never taught these things when I was younger
The trouble I have with Linen is some pieces wrinkle so easily - especially back of the clothes.
I agree. Linen requires a lot of upkeep. It’s just too much since I live in south Florida where you can’t just stock up on linen, as it’s VERY expensive because ideally you’d have to wear different pieces every single day because of the extreme humidity and heat. My budget doesn’t allow such a pricey wardrobe, nor do most people where I live. Sadly everyone here takes the easy and quick way out because it’s just easier. Floridians dress in gym clothes almost all year.😝
She literally said wrinkles look natural with linen...
@@amyp.575 Yeah I heard her. I still personally don’t like how wrinkles look just because Anna Bey says they look “natural.” Lol.
I love summer day events and early evening events! Attending events during that time scheduele makes me feel so free and relaxed and stresless, idk why:))
I love the bits of humor you incorporate more into your videos, I'm really enjoying it. Informative and entertaining
Firstly, I would like to say sorry for my English but I am from Poland so I am not native:) Few days ago I found your channel and I just fell in love. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am 19 years old and I always had more sophisticaded taste than my friends. I don't like the 90's clothes, other stylies which are fancy curentlly. So your channel is perfect for me and I can't wait your new films. I suscribed and I wait for more. And in one of your video I heard that women should pay attention to her development and education. So now I am motivated to improve my English and your films really help me in that. Greetings from Poland and all the jest for you all.
Greetings to you from the U.K. and the U.S.A.
Hello from Colorado U.S.A.!
Guess is the best cheap brand. I'm so glad you showed that dress! It's cute!
I just discovered your channel, and I am loving your tips! I am 50 years old-and agree 100% with the current young ladies growing up not really knowing how to dress "elegantly" and appropriately for young ladies. I am learning many things for myself as well-and I love your sense of humor!
I love button down in general because they always look elegant.
Being pregnant and not buying any new clothes that isn’t for the bump has made me really step back to look at my wardrobe and reconsider a lot of items that I have. Basically did a purge. Also, will be even more mindful for future purchases post-baby.
Yaas getting ready for elegant girl summer like 💖😂
Elegant girl summer 😂😂😂 yesssssss
@@wwxx23 😂😂❤
Elegant girl summer 🙌🏾
Love it!
I’ll be joining this club
Anna, Your fashion tips are so helpful. Thank you for all your hard work.
Great video as always! Following up on your point about chiffon, a lot of professional ballroom dancer gowns have switched from silk chiffon to polyester chiffon bc it wrinkles less, moves a little nicer on the dance floor, is easier to clean, and of course more cost effective. Of course it doesn't feel as soft and luxurious against the body as classic silk chiffon will feel
I have a linen set. It was worn by my mother and now it's mine. 😍 I used it on my last university exam in June. It was so elegant.
Lovely video, as always! 🤍
Oh my goodness woah! How cool! I had just seen your interview with The Roommates a while back, and I wanted to say thank you for representing the hidden women in society that actually want and love men. I liked how you empathized with men’s perspective, but also gave a refreshing reality check, in the sense that not all women utilize the “hot girl summer,” mindset.
@@SPchildofGod Thank you so much, Sienna! 🥰 you’re a gem!
Hi Anna. Great tips. I really like the dress you're wearing. It looks like seer sucker. I love that fabric for staying cool in the summer and it looks and feels so summery. Love those shoes also.
I think a sky blue dress is also a good investment in clothing
yes, but not for people with warm undertone skin
@@Katarina54 There is a shade of light blue for every skintone
@@kthy31 not at all.
Yes it is. I love matching it with yellow or violet
@@Katarina54 it depends on the material you are wearing if you are dark skinned then bright clothes actually compliment you with a wooly hairstyle
Excellent video, Mrs. Ana Bey. Enjoy a lovely summer.
Strapless WonderBra is really a game changer in the summer- love love love it!!!! 😍
I adore your videos Anna. I feel elevated by just watching them. Thank you. 💕
Love this advice & *monochrome always makes you look expensive I’m glad you’re teaching us.*
Honestly boatneck tops have always been my favourite, it really does make you look more elegant and feminine
I was just binge watching your videos! Looking forward to learning more from you! :)
I love your slightly sassy remarks in this video😄! And the tips themselves are super valuable, thank you so much!
When linen was (re)introduced 30 years ago, every linen item in every shop had a label on it saying, linen knittert edel, meaning linen creases in an elegant way. True - as Anna knows
Thank you so much Anna... Your tips have totally transformed me... I introduced my sister to your tips and she too has been impacted... Please continue transforming us... Kindly asking if you may speak about elegant jewelry too..
"why didn't she steam her clothe just like anna bey told her to do"
that actually something I do say😂
Lmfaaaoo! Yes I would think the same as well!
Lol whenever I see someone being unclassy, I tell my boyfriend “school of affluence wouldn’t approve!”
I literally laughed out loud when she said this. Anna is hilarious. I just love her!
Following your advices and tips actually made me a elegant one! My senior praised me saying I am so much classy!
So many practical advice at the right moment! Very useful. This is one of my favourite video. Thank you Anna.
Anna, all i want right now, is your feminine and high confidence energy!! working so hard on self love and my confidence..
You seem more upbeat and joyful in your videos lately. I'm loving it! Yay to full personality Anna Bey! 🥳😘
I've been suspicious of your cordinations. But now, after watching many videos of you, I realized You are an incredible fashion tutor!
