can you please do your next series on pants? Where I'm from everyone either wears jeans or leggings and I never really know what kind of pants to wear with different outfits for different occasions other than when Im working. Help!! Also, how to find trousers that are still flattering on petite women without loosing your figure in them.
For me 1950s style is the best example of elegance and feminity. I am quite short and I love high waist cigarette trousers. I think they're very stylish and expose the figure in a subtle way ❤ but I'd like to see a video on that topic too
She seriously would be successful! Plus, I feel that it would alleviate the stress of what to have in a wardrobe for women who are just starting or want to dress more elegantly if she had her own line.
Adrianna, I live in the Caribbean,at least in Florida gets cold in winter,but we travel,so let's keep watching, so we can do it in style, jajaja.I found a new Burberry wool trench coat in a Goodwill in California, with ticket and price.
As a canadian, I really appreciate that someone FINALLY has in mind sartorial question according the weather. It can be a challenge to be elegant everyday, when walking around in a Canada Goose winter coat to survive about 6 months of the year!
When you were talking about fur it reminded me of a story. About 40 years ago my grandmother died and left my mother her fox fur. It was the full on 1950s style with the head, feet and tail and glass eyes. It was so creepy that Mum and I couldn’t bear to have it in the house but we couldn’t bring ourselves to throw it out because it was Nana’s. In the end we donated it to a local amateur theatre group, who were thrilled to bits and I have seen it on stage in several period dramas. So it went to a good home in the end and we weren’t freaked out by the way it looked at us anymore.
@@toriphillips7045 As a child, I used to be fascinated by those fox furs in that style. It subconsciously called images of powerful rather supernatural characters controlling or collaborating with entities or elements.
My wardrobe is slowly changing into your fashion sense. I’m enjoying the adventure of looking for lighter elegant colors while staying away from the wearing so much black. Been receiving compliments too ☺️
I've recently been incorporating blazers into my everyday wardrobe. I think blazer create a structured put-together look that you can dress up and down.
Girl! You have no idea what you’ve done for me with this video series. I moved from a tropical country to the US and I have an apple shape body. I spend most of the year cold AND feeling bad about how I look. This series was SUPER helpful!! I’m starting to scout around for good coats and for variety!
Well, sometimes, instead of going to H&M, it is worth to go to a bit higher priced segment (can be mid-range market) and buy a good quality piece that can serve you years
Polina Racheeva oh I totally agree! ONE DAY I will be wealthy enough to afford the good stuff but for now I have only a few GOOD good items that were either a gift or something I saved up for. Fast fashion can be so tacky and cheaply made, fine quality items really are worth investment.
Acid Star she is very witty! I loved the video I think it’s called “how to dress classy in winter” where she talked about getting taxis and not walking. It was very funny 😁
mellyholly Because English isn’t Anna’s first language, she very occasionally makes small mistakes that are very charming, sweet, and completely hilarious! I have another friend who does that too, and the wrong word is just better and she’s like ‘Oh you must tell me if it’s not correct!’ but I like the wrong word, it’s better, and so funny!
Acid Star 😊 thanks. She didn’t make a mistake in the video I was referring too about taxis and walking because of language issues, she was just being witty. 😂 if you haven’t seen the video yet-I highly recommend watching it. 😊
Two years ago I bought a dusty powder pink jacket with faux fur - looks amazingly luxurious and I feel spoiled wearing it! My best winter purchase so far!
I love so much how you live elegantly but still sustainable and educated - talking about the climate crisis and the feminism movements. You're a true role model!
I appreciate that you're taking a stance against items made from mostly fur -- especially since you tend to avoid political topics. There are certain things that are just faux pas, and real fur coats are one of them. EDIT: Just to be clear, I did NOT mean to go into the politics behind it. It's great that so many people are conscious about what they wear, but please understand that not everyone wants to always become involved in this kind of debate. Thanks!
I disagree. Unpopular opinion.. but , while I don't like animals suffering.. the faux fur/leather is not environmentally friendly. Refining plastics to make faux fur/leather is poluting our planet twice! Once in manufacturing and secondly by discarding after the life of the item is spent . Real leather and fur decomposes going back to earth, unlike plastic faux items . That leather/fur coat if properly taken care of will last for 3 generations. That faux leather/fur will only last 4 -5 years if you are lucky.
@@ah5721 As someone who has organised multiple awareness campaigns, events and debates on implications of (un)ethical fashion, I completely understand where you are coming from. However, I also understand that there is a time and place for everything. Of course we should not expect too much elaboration on these issues on Anna's channel, because that is not the focus here. If you always want to make a point out of it, I suggest you skip this channel altogether and head straight over to Kristen Leo.
So that’s why I buy my coats vintage or second hand. I prefer fur but I don‘t want anyone to suffer for me so I decided to buy EVERYTHING vintage or second hand. Very good quality and nothing from the Industry. Maybe that’s something for you
Down feather jackets versus poly fiber: The down feather products have animal exploitation issues attached to them, whereas the poly fiber products might have environmental IF the materials do not include recycled goods. Poly fiber materials used in today's jackets, coats, and even sleeping bags have come a long ways in the scale of compaction and weight, with research and development bringing to the consumer market micro fiber materials that are very efficient for heat distribution, heat retention, and breathe ability. You cannot go wrong in shopping around and finding the item that best fits, feels right temperature wise, looks elegant and fabulous. Great presentation, Ms. Bey.
Starali Mistriel Reaghan Reilly that is true. But faux fur pollution is something we don‘t need either nowadays. Both is bad, für and faux fur. But on the other hand, plastic is almost everywhere (unfortunately). if I have the choice I prefer vintage fur.
Hello elegant lady Anna Bey. I live in California we have a very short winter. Usually I wear a cardigan. Now will be looking into a trench coat after your video. Love all your videos 💖
Can you please do a video for petite women? Im a little over 4ft and find it sooooo hard to find an elegant but also smart or good looking coat that fits.
Loved this series! Thank you for all the ideas appreciate as one living in Ontario Canada where no matter what season your in, you still never know what to expect so have to be ready for any weather. Though when its winter its miserable for months so high quality fashion and being colourful is a great way to enjoy the season instead of grin and bear it.
This is literally the advice I need right now. Thank you. I bought a tweed coat last winter and I ab-solutely loved it. And how I know it was a good purchase is that I don't feel bored at the thought of wearing it this winter, normally with a bad purchase I get bored after a season. And it wasn't expensive. But it looks expensive. The only thing I wish is that it were longer, but tweed doesn't really work past knee length. I guess the next thing to invest in is a mac (I'm thinking, grey, grey/stone). I think fur coats are for tiny women. If I wear a fur coat I look like Conan the Barbarian 😊. And that puffer jacket at 8:26 🥰 (love love love).
Recycling fur is good for the environment. Older furs can be restyled. I have several inherited furs that I have had a restyling done on and they are gorgeous warm and classy. Of course the same can be said for many classic designer brands. I have also had a couple of leather coats also restyled.
I wanted to say this myself. I have 3 vintage furs. All of them are pre loved and one has been restyled because it was too old fashioned. There is nothing wrong with recycling fur.
Thank you for your stand on fur. I admire you more for that. Yes I wear fake fur trim it can be classy. I have a beautiful fake down puffer jacket for ski lodges. ⛷ I sit in the lodge and look like a high caliber woman thanks to you. Love your videos.
Thank You for making these videos! 💞 me and my friend we love vintage and usually we find great treasures in secondhand or vintage stores. Just last year I bought from my friend this beautiful fur jacket that fits me perfectly, and it’s from 50’s! 😍 however, now in this day and age, I’m little self conscious wearing it in public 🙈 but I also don’t want to let it hang in my closet
Love this, Anna......my favorite formal coat is cashmere......the feel of it against the skin is heavenly and the fabric so fine and classy-looking.. 💗
Anna is a God Send. Growing up in Chicago, it’s rough with our winters! A Burberry Trench is an investment and I love it so much. I bought it pre-owned but I don’t regret it!
In Brazil, something as a summer coat is kind of an oxymoron, but the city I reside in has a very bipolar weather most of the time, so we can experience the full range of temperature in a single day; it can go from 9ºC mornings to 30ºC afternoon, then cold and rainy nights. Thank you for the tips! I am sure they will be very useful.
9 degrees is a balmy Irish winters day... We have similar issues 4 seasons in one day and rain ruins every hairstyle, every handbag has to accommodate an umbrella.. Perhaps Anna could do a video entitled psychotic weather and how to deal with it minus the rucksack I have to lug around the city every day... Well not a rucksack literally but a tote bag that gets very 'Mary poppins' shall we say😊
Excellent excellent job with educating people how cruel and sick wearing for her is! Love your channel and you’re absolutely right we can be elegant without wearing animal cruelty XX
There are many alternatives to leather, including cotton, linen, rubber, ramie, canvas, and synthetics. Chlorenol (called “Hydrolite” by Avia and “Durabuck” by Nike) is a material that is perforated for breathability and is used in athletic and hiking shoes. It stretches around the foot with the same “give” as leather, provides good support, and is machine-washable. Leather alternatives can be found just about anywhere you might shop. But some places, such as discount shoe and variety stores, offer larger selections. Designers such as Liz Claiborne, Capezio, Sam & Libby, Steve Madden, and Nike offer an array of nonleather handbags, wallets, and shoes.
I am vegan but I want to look elegant , can u make a video on what alternative bags, coats , dresses , lounge wear I can use without using animal products please .. emotionally it’s hard for me to compromise on materials like leather, fur etc but want to look elegant and put together ..
Cold here darling💎 after last year watching your channel I went and purchased full-length wool coat. Love capes they are so stunning, it is cold here in the Windy City Chicago all ready and will be until late March. As for leather and fur I wear leather for safety and I wear beaver as it is waterproof and warm last year in Chicago was minus 40 degrees🗯💯👣👣👣👣
I personally love to wear fall jackets, it is quite cold in where I live. Very good recommendations on jackets. Thank you so much for sharing this. It is very helpful!
Pimaloft is a great natural material for puffer jackets that are still vegan. 100% Synthetic coats will make you colder because they don’t breathe and therefore one perspires and becomes colder. I found a $700 vintage camel coat and paid much less on poshmark. It had two tiny worn spots which I fixed with a bonding agent that uses fluff or string from the coat to create a seamless patch. One dry cleaning, maybe a tuck at the waist, and voilá, a beautiful designer coat for less than I would pay for a synthetic at Zara. It’s also environmentally sustainable. I encourage other ladies who are not wealthy to look at shops like Etsy, Poshmark, The Real Real, or, the OUTNET to find great pieces.
Anna, I know you have a good heart and are kind, and also that you are superb at creating material and delivering it, and have the perfect knowledge, platform and perspective to offer alternatives to fur and down. Imagine the animals who are suffering which you could help by strengthening your stand against the use of these poor animals’ skins and feathers completely. I support your success. 🙏🏻
I live in the California desert USA and it doesn’t get real cold here , only a few months and so you need a light Trenchcoat, a leather coat, and a mid length wool for chili December nights. And that’s really about it we don’t wear coats very much here it’s always hot. Today was 90° and I’ll probably get to about 60 tonight and this is November....
I knew from the first sight that there is something nice, deep and special in you even you talk about, maybe, just maybe, superficial things in life. Now I like you even more when I know you have conscesness what we do to animals. Thank you for talking about it. It is so necesary in this crazy world. I like your stile, and your words and it is always pleasure to listen to you even I don't search for anything you talk about in life. But listen to your content is so interesting. You are grate speaker. I adore how you talk about elegance. Trough you I figuerd it out that my stile is elegant. I never knew what to call my stile. I called it boring. 😊😊 I'm 40 and from my youth I always liked to look elegant and decent, not sexy. So thank you for that too. 😊 Talk about your expirience in reatreat in silence you have mentioned it somwhere. I send you love from Croatia! ❤
Thank you thank you thank you for putting fur down and talking against cruelty to animals. You are much more than an elegant lady, that´s why you have gained my admiration and respect.
I just bought a tweed long coat I saw it two weeks ago n I just couldn’t resist on go back and buy it super happy can’t wait to wear it on an evening 😉 thanks for the video loved it !
So do we just ignore old furs such as my Grandmother's that was 60 or more years old and is still beautifully, classically made and in mint condition? Or the beautiful 45 year old fox that is still beautiful?
I was just making this point yesterday to some people who had recently moved to Chicago 😅. When you get 6 months of cool to cold weather a year, a coat wardrobe becomes a thing.
Μy teacher - you are the best! in Athens- Greece i only wear coats- or heavy jackets for 1.5- 2 months in total ( maximum)!the weather is warm and sunny, most of the year!!!
Oh, Anna! How much I enjoy watching your videos, often before every purchase, and I am not exactly a girl anymore ;) Especially in this age of Covid, we do need to internalize your recommendations about elegance. Sometimes you remind me of those gorgeous women who, in the aftermath of the war, strived to look like actresses to bring a touch of femininity in society to lift spirits up.
Thanks so much for addressing the fact that fur is a sensitive topic, this is compassionate and it’s delightful to know that you are aware of what happens in such industries it’s so cruel but because of RUclipsrs like you...we might be able to end the animals’ suffering
I enjoy watching this video though I can't wear coats😂because I live in a tropical country. Thank you for being kind to earth, for being kind to animals. God bless you
I was waiting for this video, now I can finally go shopping for a nice winter/fall jacket with your video as a guideline! Thank you for this great video! 😊
Anna, next week I am attending a bridal shower for my cousin’s fiancée. Of course I did RSVP and I am going to shop using their bridal registry; but I do not really know her side of the family. I am anticipating some awkward introductions and conversations which I want to navigate with confidence and grace. However, I have never attended a bridal shower so I must know what the ceremony will entail. Thank you, and your community of Elegant Ladies in advance for your assistance!
Anna. I love your videos. They have been helpful. I would also appreciate help with fashionable hat choices. I live in Minnesota and winter is fast approaching.💝
I agree 100% about the fur. My aunt wears a long length full fur coat, I just dont think it looks flattering at all + the knowledge of what happened to the animal kills any beauty if there was any to begin with.
can you please do your next series on pants? Where I'm from everyone either wears jeans or leggings and I never really know what kind of pants to wear with different outfits for different occasions other than when Im working. Help!! Also, how to find trousers that are still flattering on petite women without loosing your figure in them.

In one of her videos she says don’t wear sports clothing ( leggings) if you are not doing sports.
Fatoumata Sillah ya I caught that I didn’t say I do
Yes please!!! Trousers are such a weird one!!!
just get pants from high end designers like pucci, stella mccartney, roberto cavalli, gucci, cant go wrong its not rocket science!
You should start your own clothing line
Please do!
She would be a success, I would buy from her.
I agree!
She seriously would be successful! Plus, I feel that it would alleviate the stress of what to have in a wardrobe for women who are just starting or want to dress more elegantly if she had her own line.
Omg yes!
I would love a video about hats and how to pair them with coats! And other winter accessories!
Scarves, kimonos, and shawls!!
Adrianna, I live in the Caribbean,at least in Florida gets cold in winter,but we travel,so let's keep watching, so we can do it in style, jajaja.I found a new Burberry wool trench coat in a Goodwill in California, with ticket and price.
Ellen Landes this is a great suggestion!
I really like when you talk about clothes per season ❤ I admire your sense of fashion
Thank you Anna for advocating against fur, it makes you an even more elegant woman 🤍
As a canadian, I really appreciate that someone FINALLY has in mind sartorial question according the weather. It can be a challenge to be elegant everyday, when walking around in a Canada Goose winter coat to survive about 6 months of the year!
You are very brave to live in those icy climate... I could never sacrifice so much and would certainly move to a better place, after a few days...
I think it’s either LL Bean or Land End that sells thin but very warm jackets and coats that might be down but more likely a synthetic down.
When you were talking about fur it reminded me of a story. About 40 years ago my grandmother died and left my mother her fox fur. It was the full on 1950s style with the head, feet and tail and glass eyes. It was so creepy that Mum and I couldn’t bear to have it in the house but we couldn’t bring ourselves to throw it out because it was Nana’s. In the end we donated it to a local amateur theatre group, who were thrilled to bits and I have seen it on stage in several period dramas. So it went to a good home in the end and we weren’t freaked out by the way it looked at us anymore.
Feet, tail, and eyes?! Yikes! That's REALLY creepy!
@@toriphillips7045 As a child, I used to be fascinated by those fox furs in that style. It subconsciously called images of powerful rather supernatural characters controlling or collaborating with entities or elements.
1. Trench coat
2. Cape coat
3. Tweed coat
I don't wear NEW fur, but I thrifted a 60 year old coat and the fur still looks beautiful and brand new.
My favourite brand is Dubarry, their tweed jackets are amazing, warm, elegant and waterproof. Exactly what we need in Scotland 🏴
O O Thank you for the recommendation! I am going to be in New York in January so I’m looking for something warm. I live in California. 😁
From Plain Jane to Affluent Anna 🤷🏽♀️🥰🥰🥰😊

What does elegant lady wear at home?
That is a great question as I can struggle with this topic myself. I want to be comfortable at home but not look like I've just rolled out of bed haha
Natalie Naturopath me too! Lol
Would love a video on this!
I get the sense that elegant ladies wear luxury loungewear at home, especially in luxe fabrics like silk, satin, cashmere, high-quality cotton
I wanna know
Two years ago I bought a dusty powder pink jacket with faux fur - looks amazingly luxurious and I feel spoiled wearing it! My best winter purchase so far!
The brand please?☺
I’m glad you offered the faux fur and animal friendly fabrics. Classy and empathic role model. Beautiful. Just found your videos and love them.
You Should do a Christmas special takling about manners, gifts, christmas sweaters etc. ☺️
Maria Dalgaard Andersen ooh! Good idea!
Thank you for standing up against animal cruelty! Great video as usual 💕❤️💕

I am vegan but I want to look elegant , can u make a video on what alternative bags, coats , dresses , lounge wear I can use without using animal products please .. emotionally it’s hard for me to compromise on materials like leather, fur etc but want to look elegant and put together ..
Cold here darling💎 after last year watching your channel I went and purchased full-length wool coat. Love capes they are so stunning, it is cold here in the Windy City Chicago all ready and will be until late March. As for leather and fur I wear leather for safety and I wear beaver as it is waterproof and warm last year in Chicago was minus 40 degrees🗯💯👣👣👣👣
I am so happy to see a person who is very much in fashion, and advises her followers to opt for cruelty free garments, cosmetics, etc ❤️.
Thank you 💐.
I personally love to wear fall jackets, it is quite cold in where I live.
Very good recommendations on jackets.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
It is very helpful!
Please do a video about trainers ❤❤
Pimaloft is a great natural material for puffer jackets that are still vegan.
100% Synthetic coats will make you colder because they don’t breathe and therefore one perspires and becomes colder.
I found a $700 vintage camel coat and paid much less on poshmark. It had two tiny worn spots which I fixed with a bonding agent that uses fluff or string from the coat to create a seamless patch. One dry cleaning, maybe a tuck at the waist, and voilá, a beautiful designer coat for less than I would pay for a synthetic at Zara. It’s also environmentally sustainable. I encourage other ladies who are not wealthy to look at shops like Etsy, Poshmark, The Real Real, or, the OUTNET to find great pieces.
Anna, I know you have a good heart and are kind, and also that you are superb at creating material and delivering it, and have the perfect knowledge, platform and perspective to offer alternatives to fur and down. Imagine the animals who are suffering which you could help by strengthening your stand against the use of these poor animals’ skins and feathers completely. I support your success. 🙏🏻
Trench coat, cape coat, tweed coat, down feather coat, teddy coat 😊
Thank you!
I live in the California desert USA and it doesn’t get real cold here , only a few months and so you need a light Trenchcoat, a leather coat, and a mid length wool for chili December nights. And that’s really about it we don’t wear coats very much here it’s always hot. Today was 90° and I’ll probably get to about 60 tonight and this is November....
I would love it if you will give us a peek into your closet!
Yes!!!
You’re on a roll!!!
Would love to see a video how to look classy elegant winter. Love your channel
Yes, thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you♥️
I knew from the first sight that there is something nice, deep and special in you even you talk about, maybe, just maybe, superficial things in life. Now I like you even more when I know you have conscesness what we do to animals. Thank you for talking about it. It is so necesary in this crazy world. I like your stile, and your words and it is always pleasure to listen to you even I don't search for anything you talk about in life. But listen to your content is so interesting. You are grate speaker. I adore how you talk about elegance. Trough you I figuerd it out that my stile is elegant. I never knew what to call my stile. I called it boring. 😊😊 I'm 40 and from my youth I always liked to look elegant and decent, not sexy. So thank you for that too. 😊 Talk about your expirience in reatreat in silence you have mentioned it somwhere. I send you love from Croatia! ❤
i love your videos Anna, could you make one how to end a relationship in an elegant way🎈
Thank you thank you thank you for putting fur down and talking against cruelty to animals. You are much more than an elegant lady, that´s why you have gained my admiration and respect.
but she is very misinformed when it comes to fur trims, oh the cruelty is unspeakable.
I just bought a tweed long coat I saw it two weeks ago n I just couldn’t resist on go back and buy it super happy can’t wait to wear it on an evening 😉 thanks for the video loved it !
So do we just ignore old furs such as my Grandmother's that was 60 or more years old and is still beautifully, classically made and in mint condition? Or the beautiful 45 year old fox that is still beautiful?
Anna, can you make a video on what to ignore in winter some time? Thank you!
I was just making this point yesterday to some people who had recently moved to Chicago 😅. When you get 6 months of cool to cold weather a year, a coat wardrobe becomes a thing.
Thank you SO MUCH for confidently speaking out against fur! ❤️
Μy teacher - you are the best! in Athens- Greece i only wear coats- or heavy jackets for 1.5- 2 months in total ( maximum)!the weather is warm and sunny, most of the year!!!
Oh, Anna! How much I enjoy watching your videos, often before every purchase, and I am not exactly a girl anymore ;) Especially in this age of Covid, we do need to internalize your recommendations about elegance. Sometimes you remind me of those gorgeous women who, in the aftermath of the war, strived to look like actresses to bring a touch of femininity in society to lift spirits up.
Thanks so much for addressing the fact that fur is a sensitive topic, this is compassionate and it’s delightful to know that you are aware of what happens in such industries it’s so cruel but because of RUclipsrs like you...we might be able to end the animals’ suffering
It's simply called a cape.! ☺️☺️ It's one of my favourite too.!
I enjoy watching this video though I can't wear coats😂because I live in a tropical country. Thank you for being kind to earth, for being kind to animals. God bless you
Fabulous advice. Thumbs up to you Anna.
Dennis basso should be my go-to for coats!!!!
I love wearing a cape coat with long suede gloves but then toning it down by wearing Jeans and over knee flat boots.
I must say the thing that really makes your videos are the images shown as examples because i looooove looking at these for inspiration
I used to have coats in all colors and I loved wearing them. I hope to have a rich wardrobe again soon. ❤️
Glad I live in Texas
Equinox Alabaster yay another Texan watching!
Wow, you are so productive! I feel like every day, you air a new video!
Thank you for your effort ☺️❤️
I was waiting for this video, now I can finally go shopping for a nice winter/fall jacket with your video as a guideline!
Thank you for this great video! 😊
Can you do a video on dressing for the cold not just coats. 👋👋👋
Anna, next week I am attending a bridal shower for my cousin’s fiancée. Of course I did RSVP and I am going to shop using their bridal registry; but I do not really know her side of the family. I am anticipating some awkward introductions and conversations which I want to navigate with confidence and grace. However, I have never attended a bridal shower so I must know what the ceremony will entail. Thank you, and your community of Elegant Ladies in advance for your assistance!
Anna. I love your videos. They have been helpful. I would also appreciate help with fashionable hat choices. I live in Minnesota and winter is fast approaching.💝
I agree 100% about the fur. My aunt wears a long length full fur coat, I just dont think it looks flattering at all + the knowledge of what happened to the animal kills any beauty if there was any to begin with.
Seriously! Your an amazing woman! Such an incredible example for all of us! Love you! Big fan ❤️
I registered for the zoom meeting today. Tonight I couldn’t find it to save my soul!
Anna! What do you think about Moncler Jackets?
